John,

In my 22 years in the Army, one core ideal guided my service—that my oath was to the Constitution of the United States, not one man.

That’s why under Democratic and Republican presidents, my mission was always the same. Preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution. Fight back against all enemies, foreign or domestic.

But Trump wants to replace the rule of law with a tyranny of one man, and fundamentally change what it means to be an American.

We’ve known for years that Trump looks up to dictators. Putin in Russia. Xi in China. Kim Jong Un in North Korea. Now, he’s coming closer and closer to becoming one of them every day.

However, Trump can’t become a dictator alone. He needs sycophants and spineless cowards in Congress, and boy did he find one in Ann Wagner.

Ann Wagner has been nothing but a rubber stamp for his agenda—ripping health care away from millions, deploying troops to American cities, and standing by as he dismantles our democracy.

That’s why I’m running for Congress. The Republican Congress has abandoned their constitutional duty. It’s time to restore our constitutional order. We are not being represented.

Ann Wagner has all but abandoned any pretense of listening to her constituents who aren’t bankers or donors. Average Missourians are begging for her attention and she can’t be bothered.

That ends now, but I’ll need your help. Can you split a donation of any amount today between Fight For Progres PAC and I to help us take back this seat and protect our Constitution?

Thank you,

Fred Wellman

Democratic candidate, MO-02
