Jason,
It's been a few months since we launched Operation Saving Democracy, so I wanted to take a minute to fill you in on the latest thinking about our 2024 strategy.
As I write this, the polls make it clear that — barring a miraculous turn of events — Donald Trump will be the Republican nominee for president. The good news is we've been preparing for that eventuality for months. Here's our theory on the case as to how we can defeat him:
These days, most voters are solidly in blue or red camps. But we've identified a small, but potent audience of persuadable voters in battleground states that care about our military and national security issues — this is a group that traditionally has voted Republican, because that party was perceived to be strong on those issues.
But those trends are changing. Every time that Donald Trump denigrates veterans, praises authoritarians and terrorists, or threatens to be a dictator "only on Day One," he's disqualifying himself with those voters and giving us an opening to win them over.
Operation Saving Democracy, with its support of hundreds of admirals, generals and ambassadors, is uniquely positioned to reach this significant voting block. Those voices carry weight and credibility, because these are leaders who have spent their entire careers avoiding partisan politics. Their involvement in this election sends a signal that so much of what we hold dear about America is at risk.
Our analysis identified several battleground states in which this voting block could decide the outcome of the election — we want to begin our outreach to these voters as soon as possible. I'm hoping you can help.
What we raise before our year-end FEC deadline will decide how aggressive we can be and how many states we can get started in — will you make a donation today?
When we launched this new mission, we put a lot of faith in the grassroots — trusting that people like you care enough about the state of our democracy to roll up your sleeves and help fight for it.
Thank you again for rewarding that faith and supporting this work. More soon,
Amy
