John,

In politics, it can feel like the circus comes to town in the last few weeks of a campaign – just to vanish right after Election Day. Candidates show up, give a speech, and then take off. 

I am doing things differently.

I’ve been traveling the state with my team over the last week because I want to hear directly from our neighbors. These aren’t fancy fundraisers, they aren’t giant rallies – it’s just a handful of neighbors getting together. People are sharing what problems they’re facing and how they think we can improve things for Minnesotans. It’s inspiring.

Frankly, I think these conversations are the type of thing that’s missing from politics. 

It is so easy right now to feel alone and isolated. But the power of gathering and talking to one another is what we need to get through this moment and move into action mode.

Listening to people and hearing them out — no matter what their views — and coming up with an action plan, that’s how we win. But I can’t do it alone. 

I’m running for Senate to be a voice for Minnesota families in Washington. The average contribution to my campaign is just $25. Some people give more, some people give less – but the end result is that we are a grassroots movement powered by ordinary people who care about each other and want to make life better for everyone.

We’re running this campaign on hope (and ACTION!), not hype. If that’s worth $10 to you, I’m humbly asking you to split a donation with Blue Amp Action today. Together we’ll leave Minnesota better than we found it.

About Blue Amp Action:

We cannot sugarcoat the current situation. Right-wing authoritarianism, defeated by a worldwide coalition during WWII, was only in hibernation. Over the past decade it has infected democratic societies--including ours. It is as simple as it is terrifying: What we do now will define the future of our country and world. 

We at Blue Amp Action are dedicated to liberal, open societies, where reason and science are applied to solve our problems; where civil rights--including voting rights!--are protected for all. We fight for these values every day. Speaking up on our platforms, raising the voices and the political prospects of liberal pols and pundits. 

And savvy grassroots activists like you know, just like we do, that we can’t stop watching the people we help elect: after the elections, we have to keep organizing support for the policies we like and pushing back against the ones we don’t.

When the public tunes out between elections and the only people our elected officials hear from are the paid lobbyists of wealthy corporations, our government stops being accountable to the needs of ordinary families.

Democracy never sleeps, and neither can we.

So we ask that you support our work, so we can continue to engage in this fight every moment of every day. So our kids grow up in democracy, not dystopia.

Thank you for your support for all we do!
