| See, I get why some folks voted for Trump.
He promised to attack a broken system. And it's a ripe target.
Even before Trump came on the scene, America had one of the most corrupt political systems in the Western world.
It's been running on corporate money, secret money, billionaire money.
And it's worse than ever now.
Citizens United was the worst court decision in modern American history.
When Members of Congress aren't begging for money from Washington lobbyists, they're trying to dodge getting carpet-bombed by super PACs.
Senators get threatened with millions of dollars of attack ads over the votes they take.
And see, that is why things don't work for ordinary people.
It's because the people's elected representatives don't represent the people. They represent the big donors!
That corruption is why they defunded nursing homes to cut taxes for the rich.
Corruption is why you pay a fortune for prescriptions.
Corruption is why your insurance claim keeps getting denied.
Corruption is why hedge funds get to buy up all the houses in your neighborhood, and then your corporate landlord ignores your calls during a gas leak.
Corruption is why that ambulance costs $3,000 after you just had to get your choking toddler to the hospital.
Yes, the system really is rigged.
But Trump's not unrigging it. He's re-rigging it for himself!
He's a crook and a con man, and he wants to be a king.
You can't claim to be for ordinary men and women when you defund their hospitals and nursing homes.
You can't claim to be for ordinary men and women when you defund school lunch programs to help feed little boys and little girls whose hard-working parents are struggling to fill the fridge.
You can't claim to be for ordinary men and women when you do these things so you can cut taxes for the richest people in the country while you and your family business rake in massive sums from around the world.
Donald Trump's second term has already done unfathomable damage to our country and the lives of millions of people.
And the people are beginning to see it.
But only by regaining Congressional power can we stop him.
Really.
The upcoming 2026 midterms are our last chance to restore checks and balances.
And my Senate race in Georgia is the single most critical contest: I'm the only Democratic Senator up for reelection in 2026 in a state Trump carried in 2024.
So if you're outraged by what's happening to our country — and you're ready to fight for the future of this Republic –– please don't wait until 2028: Split a donation of $25 between Fight For Progress PAC and my reelection campaign in Georgia right now.
Here's the link to donate: fight4prog.org/ossoff
The average online donation to our campaign is around $30.
Please give what you can.
All that matters is that lots and lots of people are contributing what they can to power our grassroots campaign before the end of the year.
Please, contribute today.
