Twenty eight dollars

Friends — $28. That was the average contribution to our campaign during the FEC deadline that just closed two weeks ago. When you think about the amount of money that goes around in politics these days, $28 really isn’t a lot. And of course, many people give less — $5, $10, whatever they can aff…

Pls. Just five sentences.

Please friend — give us just five sentences. Our official FEC fundraising deadline closes in just a few hours at midnight. We are significantly behind on our fundraising goals, meaning June may be the first month of 2023 that we actually fall short. This is perhaps the worst month to fall sho…

Outrageous. Extremist. Illegitimate.

Friend — I’m sure you’ve seen that this morning, the stolen, extremist Supreme Court majority handed down two devastating decisions for the future of civil rights, equality, and economic justice in our country. In one decision, SCOTUS struck down President Joe Biden’s student debt cancellation p…

Let’s protect abortion rights

Friends — Our extremist, stolen US Supreme Court majority has been working to steadily erode our rights, especially the right to choose. Tens of millions of Americans now live in states where abortion is illegal — and Congress has been unable to act. Ed has been consistent for years now in his …

“If everyone reading this...”

Friends — You’ve probably heard or read the phrase, “If everyone reading this chipped in right now, we’d meet our goal today.” It’s kind of a mind-blowing idea, isn’t it? A contribution of $5 or $10 may not seem like much. And it’s certainly true that one person’s contribution alone isn’t enough…
