Dear John,

Happy Independence Day!  As you go about your holiday celebration, I want to ask you for your help.  

Newsflash!  We’re doing two things this weekend in New York and Maryland.  Both are about making independent voters more visible and more powerful.  

In New York, we will be spending $5,000 promoting this video <[link removed]> on Instagram.  We want 50,000 New Yorkers to know that 3.5 million independent New Yorkers are not happy about being shut out of voting.  There is an active process underway to put open primaries on the ballot in the Big Apple and getting 50,000 New Yorkers excited will help support that effort.  Our goal is to spend a lot more promoting videos - this is just to get the ball rolling.

In Maryland, we are launching a new website to recruit supporters.  We filed a lawsuit in Maryland (read Washington Post  <[link removed]>and Baltimore Sun  <[link removed]>coverage) to prevent the state from using tax dollars to fund closed private primaries that 900,000 independents are barred from, and we want to mobilize Marylanders to support the effort by writing letters to the editor, appearing in Court, and telling their stories of why they are independents!  

We need to raise $10,000 over the next 24 hours to launch both of these efforts, and good news…we’ve got a match!  A supporter from Minnesota and another from Florida have put up a $2,000 gift and a $3,000 gift respectively to drive this launch.  If we raise $5,000 today…we get another $5,000.  

Can you chip in today?

Thank you, and have a wonderful holiday.

Open Primaries

PS - $10,000 goes a long way at open primaries.  We put our money into organizing, recruiting, and developing leaders - Americans who don’t fit neatly into team blue or team red.  When you donate, <[link removed]> it’s not just to achieve an outcome, it’s to build our movement’s capacity.  Thank you!
