I’ve come to learn firsthand that at a fundamental level, Republicans don’t like government. But they have to run for office so that they can take control and stop the government from working.
It’s what I call the “Republican paradox.” You can see the effects of it at work in the House. And if this year goes the wrong way, the Senate could end up just as bad.
If we’re going to keep fighting for progress, we need to keep hitting our goals. And this month, we’ve got the FEC Pre-General filing deadline coming up early — on October 15th. We need to hit $8O,OOO by then. Can you help us get there?
Republicans these days are working for their special interest friends — people like the billionaire Koch brothers who deny climate change and pollute to their hearts’ content.
The GOP isn’t working for middle class families. You know how I can tell? Because they’d rather shut down the government than end subsidies for big oil companies. They’d rather block legislation than make any kind of progress on gun safety, or equal pay, or raising the federal minimum wage.
Republicans don’t want government to work. One of the reasons I ran for Senate was because they had turned the House into a dysfunctional mess.
And right now, all of the pundits are giving the GOP the edge when it comes to taking charge of the Senate, too.
This November, let’s make sure the Senate stays in the hands of the party dedicated to progress.
Thank you for your help today.
