$5 can mean a world of difference

The non-partisan National Journal recently rated Ryan Mackenzie the MOST vulnerable Republican in Congress. We need to show that we can beat him with people-power.
 

30-second update on Citizens United


Jason , please don’t ignore this 30-second update:

FIRST: Bernie Sanders sounded the alarms on Citizens United and dark money flooding our elections:

Bernie: This is not democracy. It’s oligarchy. We must end Citizens United and establish public financing of elections.

THEN: Signatures started POURING IN from Democrats nationwide to OVERTURN Citizens United!

Signature ticker increasing

BUT NOW: We just checked our records and no one from Springfield has added their name yet….

Will you be the first Democrat from Springfield to stand with Bernie Sanders and demand we get dark money OUT of our elections? Sign the petition now >>

ADD MY NAME: OVERTURN CITIZENS UNITED >>

Thank you!

Battleground Blue

Bernie Sanders is NOT mincing words:

Bernie Sanders

“We must overturn the disastrous Citizens United Supreme Court decision and move to public funding of elections.”
–Senator Bernie Sanders

ADD MY NAME: OVERTURN CITIZENS UNITED >>

Here’s the truth, Jason:

[1] Citizens United has allowed Republican dark money to control our elections and elect far-right extremists like Donald Trump.

[2] Progressives like Bernie Sanders are calling out this corrupt system for FLOODING Republican dark money into our elections.

[3] If we don’t take action before the midterms, MAGA Billionaires could RIG key elections against us!

So we’re counting on top Democrats like you to join the fight and sign the petition to overturn Citizens United. Add your name now >>

ADD MY NAME: OVERTURN CITIZENS UNITED >>

Thank you,

Battleground Blue

 

Thank you for being a dedicated supporter of Democratic causes!

We’re proud to be 100% grassroots funded, meaning we never accept SuperPAC contributions or Special Interest Money.

We’re emailing you today -- because we need to elect a wave of Progressive leaders to Congress.

Without the help of our grassroots supporters, we’d have nothing. And if we can’t fundraise, Progressives will lose and Republicans will win.

While Republicans rely on corporate SuperPACs, we count on grassroots donors like you to do our work.

Every penny goes towards electing bold Progressives across the country.

Did you forget something?

 
We saw you were just moments away from making a gift to help us elect more Democrats – but didn't finish.
 
 
 
We understand things get busy. But right now, Donald Trump’s MAGA allies are moving fast to dismantle our rights and tighten their grip on power. Every minute we wait is another minute they get ahead.
 
 
 
Your donation would go straight to the fight: funding digital ads to expose the truth, mobilizing voters in swing districts, and building the grassroots power it will take to flip Congress and stop Trump’s reckless agenda.
 
 
 
You were this close to making that happen. Can you complete your gift right now?
 
 
 
We’re just a few contributions away from hitting today’s goal — and yours could be the one that pushes us over the top.
 
 
 
Thank you,

Jason,

58 percent of American adults or someone they care for have experienced gun violence in their lifetime. That’s well over half. You might be part of that 58 percent. You could become part of that 58%.

ADD YOUR NAME TO BAN ASSAULT WEAPONS »

Assault weapons are disproportionately used in crimes involving multiple victims and police officers. Shooters used assault rifles in mass shootings at Sandy Hook in 2012, at an Orlando nightclub in 2016, a Las Vegas concert in 2017, at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in 2018, and in Uvalde, TX, in 2022. The list goes on: Lewiston, Buffalo, Allen, Louisville, Nashville, Sutherland Springs, San Bernardino, Pittsburgh, El Paso, Highland Park, Colorado Springs, Indianapolis... far too many communities have been shattered by mass shootings committed using assault weapons. If we don't act now, Springfield could be next.

With easy access to military-style semi-automatic assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, too many individuals have filled our schools, malls, concerts, movie theaters, places of worship, stores, workplaces, parades, and other public spaces with terror, devastation, and terrible loss.

This issue affects us all. We need you to join us now to demand the Senate put forth the Assault Weapons Ban for a vote. It’s passed the House before — it can pass in the Senate. And it would save lives. Survivors of gun violence are counting on us to take action and get this bill passed.

So act now, and join us in signing our petition, before Springfield becomes the next headline.
