quick favor

Hi John,   I know you’re probably busy this week as we all get ready for September, but I wanted to ask you to take a quick second and go to my husband Hank’s Act Blue page: https://secure.actblue.com/donate/HJGA-04-Email-Aug2022-FR-August?refcode=E18080-20220831-Mereda   He’s still a bit beh…

Let's defeat some bullies

  John –   My team has emailed you before about Gov. Ron DeSantis down in Florida – how he’s angling to be an even bigger bully than Donald Trump and how spiteful his policies are toward Floridians.   Now that the Florida primary is over, we know that my friend Charlie Crist…

What an August

  What a month, John!   With two monumental pieces of legislation passed by Democrats in Congress and signed into law by President Biden in August, Democrats have already accomplished more than Republicans could during Trump’s entire four-year reign.   And we did it with raz…

Wealthy MAGA Republicans: “Do as we say, not as we do.”

  John –   Republicans are up in arms over President Biden’s $10,000 student loan forgiveness.   That’s rich, considering the same extremist Republicans accepted millions in government money that they never had to pay back.   And John, we have a President who is not afraid…

We’re taking action

  John,   You’ve heard all about the Inflation Reduction Act that President Biden signed into law last week. You know that it is the largest investment the U.S. has ever made in combating climate change. And you know that the new law will help save Americans money.   Donate to…

Kemp’s abortion ban will ruin lives

  Hey John,   A quick update. Since my last email, some of you have really stepped up, and we’re so appreciative of your support here at Hank HQ.   I have to let you know though – we’re still behind our goal. In order to get back on track, we need to raise $2,194 through gra…

Florida man loses the lead

  Big headline from Florida, John! And thankfully, this one doesn’t begin with the words “Florida man…”     Congresswoman Val Demings HAS TAKEN THE LEAD in her race to unseat Republican Marco Rubio in the U.S. Senate.   Help keep up the momentum by splitting a contributio…

when Hank’s face lights up

  Hi friends,   It’s Mereda, and I wanted to thank you for the support you’ve shown my husband Hank over the past few weeks.   I’ve seen Hank when he checks his fundraising reports, and he lights up whenever there are new donations – not just because of the funds that will hel…

the final nail in the GOP’s ⚰️

  John,   As you know, Congresswoman Liz Cheney lost her primary to a Trumpist opponent this week.   Congresswoman Cheney and I don’t see eye-to-eye on very much at all. We’re on opposite sides of almost every issue. But she has rendered this country a great service by standin…

*sigh* how much lower can MTG go?

Georgia: 2 | Lindsey Graham: 0

Making sure you saw this

Hey John, Checking in to make sure you got Hank’s message last week about how much Democrats are accomplishing in DC. The fact that they’re getting it done with the slimmest possible majority in the Senate and a tiny majority in the House is nothing short of incredible. I hate to be the bring…

2/3 of Americans agree on SCOTUS term limits

The biggest bully

Florida Governor Ron DeSanits is in a contest with Donald Trump.   No, not to see who will be the GOP’s 2024 presidential nominee, though that may come in the future. Their current contest is to see who can be the biggest bully in Florida.   And honestly, John – it’s hard to tell…

Here’s what the GOP can do to prove they care about due process

  Well John, I’m glad to see my Republican counterparts suddenly start caring about due process and protecting the rights of defendants, though I’m sorry it took the proper execution of a lawfully obtained search warrant against their leader for them to rally to the cause.   If R…

on to the President’s desk...

How to best reform the Supreme Court?

  Hey John –    As Chair of the Courts Subcommittee, Hank is working overtime to hold the Supreme Court accountable and championing reforms to stop the court from attacking Americans’ rights. The Supreme Court is its own worst enemy, as its ultraconservative political rulings h…

This is getting embarrassing for Georgia...

GOP gun laws killed 2022 Music Midtown

Protecting artistic expression

  John,    Freedom of expression is paramount. But when artists’ works are used against them, it creates a chilling effect and stifles free expression. We've seen artists face prosecution nearly 500 times where their lyrics have been used as evidence against them in court.   …
