Shocking

Yesterday Henry Cuellar was one of just a few Democrats in Congress to vote with Trump against a pro-union, pro-worker bill that passed through the House. Breaking: Henry Cuellar votes with Trump again. Can you make a split donation to Jessica Cisneros and JD to say you’re DONE with corpora…

Our jaws just dropped

Yesterday, we found out that the U.S. Chamber of Commerce started a six-figure ad buy to defeat Justice Democrat Jessica Cisneros in TX-28! This conservative lobbyist group is terrified of what Jessica’s election would mean for our progressive movement and so they are spending big to try and stop…

Three folks from xxxxxx

We need to raise $10,000 TODAY to counter this pro-Republican, dark money group that is spending big to stop the momentum of working people backing Jessica’s campaign. John, We just found out that the U.S. Chamber of Commerce — one of the biggest conservative dark money groups in the country …

Iowa

After last night, we’ve proven that voters are hungry for elected officials who will fight for our values. John, The tentative results from Iowa last night are a major victory for the progressive movement. After last night, we’ve proven that voters are hungry for elected officials who will fi…

Bloomberg

John, this is what corruption looks like. After the 2016 election, the DNC set rules to require any 2020 presidential campaign to meet a polling threshold + number of donors threshold to make it onto the official debate stage. They stuck to the rules at first. Even though they prevented Julián …

Are DNC members trying to rig the primary?

The DNC should let voters decide, not party insiders. That’s the whole point of the primary and of democracy. John, this is bad news. Politico is reporting that DNC members at an executive committee meeting were discussing reversing the rule that says superdelegates can’t vote until the second …

Will you join our small dollar movement today by chipping in to help us close the gap and hit our goal of raising 5% of what the DCCC raised last month?

When the DCCC announced their blacklist policy, they made it clear that they would rather protect entrenched incumbents than see more candidates like Ayanna Pressley or Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez get elected to Congress. We’re aiming to raise just 5% of DCCC’s $14.4 million dollar haul last month…

We have some good news and bad news

John, we have some good news and bad news: The bad news: We’re running a little bit behind on hitting our goal of raising just 5% of what the DCCC raised last month. But here’s the good news: If just one in four people who received this email each chips in $8.75, then we’d get back on track bef…

Two supporters from xxxxxx to hit our goal

John, Last month the DCCC raised $14,400,000. That is a whole lotta cash for them to then spend on protecting entrenched incumbents who aren’t fighting for our values. Here’s the deal: we don’t need to match the DCCC’s fundraising numbers dollar-for-dollar but if we raise just 5% of what the …

Bernie Sanders just endorsed...

John, we have some HUGE news: Bernie Sanders just endorsed Jessica Cisneros and her grassroots campaign to primary Trump’s favorite Democrat, Henry Cuellar. Jessica’s primary election is in a few weeks and this endorsement from Bernie could help Jessica clinch the win. But, Jessica is still fig…

A huge endorsement

John, we have some great news: Jessica Cisneros just clinched a MAJOR endorsement in her insurgent campaign to take on entrenched incumbent, Henry Cuellar. Jessica was just endorsed by the Texas AFL-CIO. With just over a month until Jessica’s primary election, we need to do everything we possib…

Do you agree with AOC?

John, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is declining to pay DCCC membership dues because of their anti-democratic blacklisting policy. The DCCC’s blacklist policy puts our endorsed primary challengers at a huge disadvantage and was an attempt to bully insurgent candidates into not running. We’re fightin…

The DCCC raised $14 million dollars last month

John, We just found out that the DCCC raised $14,400,000 in December 2019. That is a whole lotta money for them to spend on protecting entrenched incumbents like Dan Lipinski and Henry Cuellar. If we raise just 5% of what the DCCC raised last month, then that would put us in a great position …

A new threat

John, The Daily Kos just reported that the group “American Workers for Progress” is planning to spend upwards of $700,000 on TV ads to help re-elect Trump’s favorite Democrat, Henry Cuellar. There are exactly 40 days until Jessica’s primary election where all of our work to elect Jessica will…

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

John, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez just said something incredibly important: “We don’t have a left party in the United States. The Democratic Party is not a left party. The Democratic Party is a center, or a center-conservative party.” There’s a battle for the soul of the Democratic Party. If y…

Bernie Sanders

John, In a jaw-dropping interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Hillary Clinton refused to say whether or not she would support Bernie Sanders if he wins the Democratic nomination for president. That is unacceptable. Clinton’s statements are not only out of touch, but dangerous. Defeating Trump…

We need Democrats who will fight to protect reproductive health

John, The Susan B Anthony List — a political group dedicated to electing members of Congress who don’t support abortion — just endorsed a Democratic member of Congress for re-election. That Democrat in name only is Dan Lipinski. He singlehandedly gives bipartisan cover to Republicans by chairi…

Warhawk or peacemaker?

We have to elect Democrats who’ll side with us when it matters most. Eliot Engel spent his entire career on the wrong side of the foreign policy debate. John, It’s not enough to just elect Democrats. We have to elect Democrats who feel a sense of urgency and who’ll side with us when it matte…

Cheri Bustos

John, While on national television Congresswoman Cheri Bustos, the Chairwoman of the DCCC, refused to answer one simple question: “Is she [AOC] good for the Democratic Caucus?” The DCCC has said for months that they exist to back Democratic incumbents and support their re-election. It’s their…

RE: Refusing to pay the DCCC

John, AOC is refusing to play ‘politics as usual.’ Now she’s declining to pay the DCCC $250,000 in membership dues. She won’t support an arm of the Party that has chosen to blacklist progressives working for primary challengers. And she won’t back a DCCC that has endorsed pro-Trump, anti-choi…

We’re at a crossroads on Medicare for All

Did you see AOC’s announcement?

John, Last night Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez tweeted that she is refusing to pay $250,000 in membership dues to the DCCC in part because of their anti-democratic policy of blacklisting any organization that helps elect Democrat primary candidates. The DCCC’s decision to blacklist any organizatio…

John, Yesterday we launched a really important fundraising goal for this month! We have to raise $130,000 in January to make sure our insurgent candidates win on election day. We’re just about a third of the way through the month and right now we’re not on pace to hit our goal, we’re behind b…

Henry Cuellar is in the pocket of defense contractors

No war in Iran

John, Last night, President Trump took unilateral action to push the United States to the brink of war. Now, we are seeing a terrible escalation between Iran and the US. Trump’s attack last night happened with zero congressional oversight or approval. But a pointless, bloody war can still be …

John, With your support, we shocked the world by helping elect AOC, Ilhan, Rashida, and Ayanna in 2018. The Squad beat their corporate-backed opponents even though they had far less money. Do you know what our secret was? Hundreds of volunteers like you across the country made tens of thousan…

Taking on the DCCC

John, Our average contribution this year is just $15.99 — proving that JD is a grassroots funded organization; powered by folks just like you. We need to have the resources to take on the DCCC who will spend big to protect entrenched incumbents in 2020 and Republican dark money groups who wil…

Why $185,000 matters

John, our fundraising goal of $185,000 isn’t a made-up goal. $185,000 is the same amount of money we raised at our peak this year in July. And since our fundraising has gone down a little since then, $185,000 is exactly what we need to make the most for our slate in 2020. This month’s fundrais…
