I'm a pediatrician. I’m pissed. I’m scared. And I need your help to defeat Lindsey Graham in the U.S. Senate >>

I’m not the “monsters-under-the-bed” kind of scared. I’m the “I’ve watched children suffer from preventable illness and injury while politicians do absolutely nothing” kind of scared.

I’ve treated kids who’ve been shot. Kids whose families struggle to afford their medications.

Kids who live with mold that causes asthma attacks, miss school for climate disasters, and watch politicians use them as political pawns.

And now? Trump is causing chaos and Lindsey Graham is right by his side.

And Medicaid — the program that keeps half our pediatric patients insured, healthy, and…alive — is on the chopping block to pay for tax breaks for billionaires.

So yeah, I never planned to run for Senate. 

But I’m scared. I’m pissed. I’m motivated. And I’m 100% in.

I’m running for Senate in South Carolina to defeat Lindsey Graham and to fight for the kids no one in D.C. seems to be thinking about. So I need you with me on day one. We need to hit 10,000 donations before midnight to prove that this campaign can go the distance. Can I count on you?

I’m running because the Republican Party, led by people like Lindsey Graham, is dismantling the very systems that keep our kids safe here in South Carolina.

I’m running because the issues I care about — children’s healthcare, vaccines, gun violence, public education, Social Security, Medicaid and Medicare — are under direct attack right now.

And I’m running because I consider it my professional duty as a pediatrician  — to give children a strong voice at the national level. Too many are comfortable on the sidelines. That won’t work for me. 

We need bold leaders who aren’t afraid to fight. I’m ready.

Even though the path will be hard, I know Lindsey Graham must be held accountable. He certainly doesn’t deserve a free pass back to D.C. for six more years. 

 That’s why I’m running for US Senate. To defeat Trump’s lapdog and fight for everyday Americans. But, I need your support today. Can you rush a split donation of $10 (or whatever you can spare) between Blue Amp Action and me to become a Founding Donor to my campaign? >> 

Thank you for believing in this campaign,

Dr. Annie Andrews

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!
