Sula Costa Daily NYC

 

Hi – it’s Jamie Raskin. As lead impeachment manager in Donald Trump’s second Senate trial, I learned that we must be emphatic about the difference between truth and lies and we must be unyielding in our defense of Constitutional democracy. But we're still in the fight of our lives today with the forces of fanaticism and authoritarianism, and this is a fight taking place across America. The struggle to defend the right to vote and democratic elections begins at the state and local level. That’s why it’s critically important to elect Democratic state legislators. I know the central importance of that role, I served as a state Senator in Maryland’s General Assembly for ten years. When I was a state legislator, I learned that you can be a justice politician or an injustice politician. GOP legislators have chosen the injustice path – one that prioritizes voter suppression, dangerous abortion bans, and backward-looking anti-LGBTQ+ policies. I know that by coming together to build Democratic power in the states this fall, we can build a future that puts the needs of the American people ahead of the Trumpified Republicans’ lust for power. But state legislative races are consistently underfunded and overlooked. So I’m reaching out to you right now on behalf of my friends at the Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee to ask for your help electing state Democrats across America. Whether we are talking about voting rights, redistricting or the rights of women, state legislatures are essential to the success of democracy and freedom in America. Will you send in a gift of $7 right now to support pro-democracy state Democrats this November and beyond? The DLCC is the official party committee dedicated to winning state legislature seats, and my friends there desperately need your help with just a handful of weeks until Election Day – so anything you can spare at this crucial moment will be meaningful in this fight >> If you've stored your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will process immediately. Chip in $7 now » Chip in $25 now » Chip in $50 now » Chip in $100 now » Chip in another amount » The GOP’s platform isn’t just extreme – it’s a direct threat to our democracy. More than 1,000 GOP state legislators and candidates have made it clear since January 6th that they stand outside the constitutional order – by excusing, sanctioning, or even participating in the insurrection. They’ve parroted lies about election fraud to justify devastating criminal violence, and we cannot let them continue to build power in state legislatures. Any of these candidates could move on from their time as a state legislator to run for higher office – that’s why it’s crucial that we elect Democrats to state legislatures who will block extremism at its inception and stop these right-wing candidates from building power. Our democracy depends on people like you meeting this pivotal moment and stepping up to the plate. So I’m asking you to consider: Will you support my friends at the DLCC with a gift of $7 today to elect Democrats to state legislatures in this year’s midterm elections and defend our democracy against dangerous right-wing extremists? Thanks for your help and solidarity, Jamie Raskin P.S. Our Democrats in state legislatures urgently need you. Can you rush a $7 donation to the DLCC ahead of Election Day?

Friends, I am writing to ask you to split a $10 contribution between Elect Black Democrats and Mandela Barnes' campaign for U.S. Senate in Wisconsin. I hope you will give me a moment to explain why your contribution is so important to his campaign. Mandela is running to defeat Republican incumbent Ron Johnson, one of the most reactionary and self-serving members of the U.S. Senate. A recent Marquette poll shows Mandela down by one point, and he is up against some very powerful special interests who are spending obscene amounts of money to try to defeat him. So Mandela needs your help, especially before his FEC fundraising deadline at the end of this month. Ron Johnson is someone who relies on corporate interests to fund his campaign. But Mandela is funding his campaign the right way – from lots of people making small donations. That is the only way he is going to have the resources to win this race, and that is why I need to ask: Can you please split a $10 contribution between Elect Black Democrats and Mandela Barnes' campaign for U.S. Senate in Wisconsin? As long as we are in this together, we are going to send Mandela to the Senate and expand the majority. If you've stored your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will be processed immediately and split between Elect Black Democrats and Mandela Barnes. DONATE $10 NOW » DONATE $25 NOW » DONATE $50 NOW » DONATE $100 NOW » DONATE $250 NOW » OTHER » At this moment in American history — in the midst of massive income and wealth inequality, a global pandemic, and the existential threat of climate change — it has never been more important to elect candidates like Mandela who will fight for the working class of this country. We need to elect more candidates who will take on corporate greed, authoritarianism, and bigotry and who are prepared to fight for justice. In order to do that, we must bring our people together in a multi-generational, multi-racial movement to take on the big-money interests that have so much political and economic power in our country. Mandela Barnes is building that kind of movement through his campaign in Wisconsin. And if he wins in November, he will continue our struggle for justice in the U.S. Senate. First, we need to come together to defeat a Republican extremist who denies the reality of climate change, participated in a scheme to overturn the 2020 election results, and has repeatedly sided with corporate interests at the expense of working people. But this Wisconsin Senate race isn't just about replacing Ron Johnson. It's also about expanding the Senate majority so we can finally have the votes to pass meaningful legislation to address the many crises we face. Mandela Barnes is in a very close race right now, and he is relying on grassroots support in order to fund his campaign between now and Election Day. So I am asking you one more time: Please split a $10 contribution between Elect Black Democrats and Mandela Barnes' campaign for U.S. Senate in Wisconsin. He is rejecting all corporate PAC money, and your contribution today will ensure he has the financial resources to flip this seat. We are engaged in many struggles right now. We are trying to save the planet from the ravages of climate change. We're trying to create an economy that works for all and not just the billionaire class. We're trying to defend our democracy against those who are moving us toward authoritarianism. And that's just to name a few. But, in the midst of all these struggles, we cannot simply remain on the defensive. We need to continue building our movement to transform this country. That means standing with candidates like Mandela Barnes who will take on powerful special interests. Thank you for adding a contribution to his campaign today. In solidarity, Bernie Sanders CONTRIBUTE »

Republicans have launched an all out assault on our democracy itself, and it’s put people like me — a Black Congressman representing rural Georgia — in danger of losing my seat. I’ve never faced an election challenge like this before. Can you split $25 between my campaign and The Collective PAC to defend my seat and our Democracy? We know when Republicans win, it leads to failing schools, shuttered hospitals, and a lack of support for our rural communities. We have to keep fighting for our democracy, for unity, and for a renewed faith in the promise of America. Simply put: it’s going to be tough. Here in Georgia, Republicans are furious after we beat them so badly in 2020. First, they passed a shameful voter suppression bill designed to restrict access to the ballot box for poor, elderly, rural, and non-white Georgians. Then, they redrew my seat to make it harder for me to win again. And now, national Republicans are pouring more money than they ever have into Georgia and releasing attack after attack on me. If we can’t defend seats like mine this cycle, Democrats WILL lose the House. To stay on track to win in November, I need to raise $15,000 by tonight at midnight.

n a moment, I’m going to ask that you make a $7 donation to the Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee ahead of next Friday’s FEC deadline. But before then, I hope you’ll give me a chance to explain why your support today is so critical. State legislatures are the key to stopping Republican abortion bans, attacks on LGBTQ+ rights, bills that undercut our democracy by making it harder for people to vote. Not just that, state legislatures are essential – I mean it, essential – to lowering prices for American families and building an economy that works for everyone. It’s especially important for Democrats to win and keep control of state legislatures across the country. The DLCC is the only party committee dedicated to electing Democrats to statehouses, building new majorities, and flipping state legislatures from red to blue across the country. Will you make a $7 donation to the DLCC before its deadline next Friday? This is the last end-of-quarter deadline before Election Day, so we’re counting on every member of this grassroots team to do your part.

Democrats in legislatures across the country are helping build an economy that works for everyone – not just those at the top – and a better America along with it. Believe me when I say that I wouldn't be coming to you today if your support today weren't critical to lowering costs for families, building our economy from the bottom up and the middle out, protecting voting rights, fighting for reproductive freedom, and so much more. With just 46 days until Election Day, we need all hands on deck to elect more Democrats to state legislatures, so I hope I can count on you to chip in $7 to the DLCC before next Friday’s end-of-quarter deadline.

I’ll be honest, Sula, I’m nervous. We’re less than 50 days out from one of the most important elections of our lifetime and we have an opportunity to cast a vote to protect our democracy. Just check out what President Obama had to say: The way I see it, we are at a fork in the road and we have two futures to choose from: Option 1: Choose a future where we allow the degradation of our democracy and rights to continue. A future where unchecked elected officials across the country, manipulate maps and ignore the will of the people, like we’ve seen with the unhinged conservative leadership in Ohio. A presidential election where the final results are not just protested but also overturned by election deniers and conspiracy theorists. Option 2: Choose a future where we push back and hold map manipulators accountable. A future where we elect folks up and down the ballot who will protect our access to clean water, health care and the ballot box. This work won’t stop at the end of 2022; this future includes advocating for redistricting reforms and engaging communities in critical redraws next year. All On The Line’s team has chosen option 2. We are committed to continuing the fight for fair maps in courts now and in redraws in the future. Will you choose option 2 with us by making a donation today?

But I've never – NEVER – seen a Republican Party as bananas as this one.  Their number one priority is defending our criminal, Cheeto-colored, twice-impeached former president, Donald J. Trump. They worship the ground he walks on – which means while Democrats fight to move our country forward, Republicans are doing somersaults to defend whatever lies he's come up with. Right now, they’re even refusing to denounce his praise for Putin. Despicable. Just think of this: While Democrats passed critical infrastructure legislation, Republicans passed bills restricting the right to vote – and they've introduced over 440 voter suppression bills (!) in 2021 alone. While Democrats passed economic relief legislation, which cut the rate of childhood poverty in half, Republicans voted against any help for hardworking families. And while Democrats fought to find ACCOUNTABILITY for the tragic events of Ja‌n. 6, Republicans stuck their heads in the sand and even called the insurrection "legitimate political discourse!" I'll level with you, friend. We've got to do EVERYTHING WE CAN to make sure these bozos don't regain control of Washington in November. If you care, help me do just that by pitching in $5 or more to our $25,000 fundraising goal today. Every dollar will go toward helping Democrats win the toughest races around the country: Donate now >>  Thanks.  – Carville  Paid for by AB PAC.
