 | | | | Friend,
My dad used to wake me up at 6 a.m. each morning and say, "Put your shoes on, son. Get ready. There's something for you to do." | | He was many things throughout his life: a veteran, a small businessman, and a preacher. He spent his days fixing junk cars that other folks had discarded – and then on Sundays, he preached to folks who felt discarded. | | One of my last memories of my dad was calling him the day Barack Obama was inaugurated as the 44th president of the United States. I heard the pride and joy in his voice – the ways in which he saw the arc of history bending a little closer toward justice. Two years later, my dad was gone. As the senior pastor at Dr. King's church, I had the sad duty and honor of eulogizing him.
My father taught me so much – from the meaning of hard work to the value of serving others – and I bring these lessons with me wherever I go, including to the U.S. Senate. He's a big reason why I'm in this fight to build a better, brighter future for all people, not just the lucky few. | | But keeping up this fight in Washington won't be easy: NPR is calling me one of the most vulnerable Democratic senators up for reelection – in a race that experts say could decide Senate control. The only way I can fight back and defend my critical seat is if folks like you chip in now.
That's why I'm personally asking, friend: Will you give $5 or more right now to help me keep Georgia blue, defend our Senate majority, and build a better future for our country? |  | | A photo of Dad and me. I was so lucky to have him in my life. | | Thank you for all of your support, friend. | | – Rev. Raphael Warnock | | | | | | | | |
