Hi there, I’m Garry Kasparov, former World Chess champion, Russian opposition activist, and chairman of the New York-based Human Rights Foundation.

Today, I’m encouraging you to support Evan McMullin and his cross-partisan coalition to replace Mike Lee in the U.S. Senate.

But, before I explain why it’s so important we replace any and all leaders who have appeased Vladimir Putin, would you please chip in to make sure Evan’s campaign has what it needs to win this race?

Vladimir Putin is a war criminal and an enemy to the free world. His regime must be defeated, and Ukraine must be defended.

But for this to happen, powerful nations like the United States must elect leaders who stand up to dangerous dictators like Putin. They must not roll over and let Putin do as he pleases, putting millions of innocent lives at risk in the process.

Mike Lee is weak. Over the last decade, he’s appeased Putin at every move. He opposed sanctions against Putin’s regime when Russia interfered with America’s 2016 election. Later, he flew to Moscow to discuss lifting the sanctions already in place, and then he defended withholding military aid from Ukraine when innocent civilians were desperately fighting for their lives.

Mike Lee has abandoned American values. So now, it’s time to back the only candidate strong enough to beat him.

Please, join me in supporting Evan McMullin’s campaign by chipping in any amount to replace Mike Lee. Your next move is critical in this fight.

Thank you,

Garry Kasparov
