Days to Election Day: 11
John,
Did you read Schmidt's email? He sent a reminder of what has happened since the first debate.
Now try to think of everything that has happened in the past four years.
Our country will not survive four more years of constant chaos and destruction.
Four more years of Donald Trump exploiting the trappings of his office for personal enrichment at the expense of the American people.
Four more years of deceit, malice, and incompetence at the cost of hundreds of thousands of American lives.
We extended the 2X-MATCH deadline to TONIGHT AT MIDNIGHT because we need you in this fight with us, John.
Every penny you pitch in right now will have double the impact in these final, crucial days of the election, when we need to engage every potential Lincoln Voter, counter every Trump lie, and fight back against attacks from Trump’s allies.
I don’t want to wake up on November 4 wishing I had done more. I know you don't, either.
When Donald Trump screws up, he takes a mulligan, or files for bankruptcy.
But elections don’t have do-overs. We may not get a second chance to save our Republic.
Just a few dollars can make all the difference.
We're almost there.

Subject: John, let me remind you of a few things.
John, our actions right now will determine the version of America passed on to the next generation.
The first general election presidential debate, held in 1960 between John F. Kennedy and Richard Nixon, gave Americans a side-by-side portrait of the two options before them.
The discussion was a rigorous dissection of policy issues which armed the citizenry with the knowledge and confidence required to make a decision as vital as choosing the leader of our Republic.
We could not have fallen further since.
The president’s tantrums and assclownery at the first debate were a stain on his office, and an embarrassment for the entire country.
As I mentioned on a recent episode of The Lincoln Project Podcast, the most important question that can be asked tonight is whether Donald Trump will commit to the peaceful transfer of power—and it should be asked ad nauseam until his answer is satisfactory for the leader of a liberal democratic republic.
Our president will not commit to a free and fair election—nor to even defending it from foreign interference—because he knows he can't win without cheating.
John, I want to remind you of what has happened just since the last time Donald Trump and Joe Biden shared the debate stage:
| |
→ Donald Trump and the White House attempted to cover up a coronavirus super-spreader event that stemmed from the nomination of Amy Coney Barrett at the Rose Garden.
→ Even after being infected, Trump played down coronavirus, compared it to the flu and told Americans the pandemic is “nothing to worry about.”
→ Trump killed talks over a stimulus deal desperately needed by the American people, claiming no deal would be made until “after I win.”
→ We learned former Attorney General Jeff Sessions said “we need to take away children” in the early stages of the administration’s child separation policy at the U.S.-Mexico border.
→ The parents of 545 children separated at the border cannot be found.
→ 13 men were arrested for plotting to kidnap Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer, after Trump tweeted “LIBERATE MICHIGAN” in response to Governor Whitmer’s coronavirus policies. Trump then attacked Whitmer, and continues to incite violence.
→ Tax records show that 200+ companies, special interests, and foreign governments funneled millions of dollars to Trump’s properties while reaping favors and benefits from the White House.
→ The White House ignored warnings that Rudy Giuliani is the target of a Russian intelligence operation.
→ We learned 8 million Americans have fallen into poverty since May.
→ Trump’s former Chief of Staff John Kelly called Trump the “most flawed person” he’s ever met.
→ It was revealed that Trump has a secret Chinese bank account, and has paid China nearly $200,000 in taxes.
→ Iran and Russia are actively interfering in our election, with no response from Trump.
→ Trump called on Attorney General Barr to open an investigation targeting Joe Biden before the election.
→ Over 220,000 Americans have now died from the coronavirus. The 7-day average for new cases in the U.S. was 43,000 the day of the first debate. It’s now over 60,000.

We, the People, hold the power to end the chaos, end the destruction, and end this presidency.
But we are running out of time, John. And this election will be determined by our historic coalition answering this call to duty.
Can you pitch in $100, $50, or $13 right now and have your donation 2X-MATCHED to help us elect a president that will restore honor to the White House, stand up for our democracy, and work to end the raging pandemic?
We must reach every potential Lincoln Voter in every battleground state to ensure Trump’s defeat.
We will win. He will lose. Let’s end this right now.
— Steve
