Friend --

After the Administration stepped on the face of State Sovereignty (I remember when Republicans were for small government and states' rights), this weekend, a friend asked, how are we going to save our Democracy. 

If we want to save Democracy—we must win Elections.

At Country First, we’ve never been afraid to speak out against the chaos and danger coming from this Administration. But more than just speaking out, we’ve been organizing, training, and mobilizing Americans to take action by:

🔹 Registering voters
🔹 Recruiting election judges and poll watchers
🔹 Leading weekly Days of Action to pressure Congress
🔹 Giving people the tools to fight back through civil protest, civic engagement, and digital advocacy

But most importantly in our arsenal – is we must WIN ELECTIONS against those who want to tear down our democracy.

So, we can’t afford to sit back, we must fight for a proper check and balance on this Administration before it’s too late.

Here’s how:

➡️ We will continue to provide the tools needed to mobilize people to use their voice to make an impact and execute programs to strengthen the system in democracy’s favor. 

➡️ We’ll continue empowering people to vote where it counts, including voting in the decisive primaries—especially when general elections are foregone conclusions because of gerrymandering. (This is where our first of its kind program Primary First comes into play)

➡️ After the primaries, we’ll activate a broad coalition of people of goodwill to shape the General Election.

Saving democracy isn’t just about resisting—it’s about winning. And that takes strategy, people and resources.

If you believe in this mission, if you want to see democracy not just survive but thrive, chip in what you can to help us keep pushing forward.

Together, we can be the check and balance this country desperately needs—and the change it cannot ignore.

Deadlines to run for office will be happening throughout the summer and into fall.  So, there is no time to waste!

PS: Last Friday, I had the honor of speaking at the Unite for Veterans Rally in Washington, DC. The sacrifice our nation’s veterans have made is immeasurable—and yet, the proposed budget now moving through the Senate would drastically cut the services and benefits they’ve earned. Veterans should never have to fight for what was promised to them. That’s why we’re taking action.

Join us this Thursday at 1 PM ET for a Country First Day of Action to stand up for our veterans—and for every American who would be harmed by this reckless budget.
