I’m done being surprised

Republicans love to preach a "pull yourself up by your bootstraps" mentality, until they're talking to a billionaire.

Danielle, Congressional Republicans love to preach a "pull yourself up by your bootstraps" mentality — until they're talking to a billionaire. They love to champion an America that says "I've got mine, the rest of you are on your own" — but this doesn't seem apply to giant corporations who get their handouts. Take what's happening in Congress right now: Republicans are demanding we pinch pennies on programs like food assistance and health care for families. But next month, they want to roll out a plan that hands trillions in tax cuts to big corporations and the wealthy. I'm done being surprised at their hypocrisy, but I'm not done fighting back. Simply put, the rules work differently for different groups of people — and I'm doing everything in my power to put a stop to this rigged system and change this. Danielle, will you pitch in $100 or anything you can to power this fight before our midnight fundraising deadline tonight? I'm running for re-election to continue to use my voice to advocate for big, structural changes that actually help working people. But I can't do this without your support.

I wouldn’t ask if it weren’t powerfully important

Your support will help ensure that we can keep building our movement for big, structural change.

Danielle, I'm running for re-election because there's a lot we've got to do in order to save our country from extremists and make real change for our working families. And I'm going to keep fighting my heart out for this. Here's a few of the ideas I believe in: We need to pass a wealth tax. Supreme Court Justices should follow a basic code of ethics. Quality child care should not eat up an entire paycheck. Big bank executives should not be able to gamble with consumers' livelihoods. The filibuster must be abolished so we can pass the laws that the majority of Americans are calling for, like protecting abortion rights and enacting gun safety laws. If you're with me, will you pitch in to support my re-election today? In order to run our campaign for these plans, we need to hit our monthly fundraising goals, and we've got an important one coming up tomorrow. So Danielle, please pitch in $100 or anything you can so I can keep up this fight in the Senate. If you've saved payment info with ActBlue Express, your donation will process automatically: DONATE NOW: $28 DONATE NOW: $35 DONATE NOW: $50 DONATE NOW: $100 DONATE NOW: $250 OTHER AMOUNT > Your support will help ensure that we can keep building our movement for big, structural change. That we can get our message out there and campaign for these plans across the country. Powerful special interests and extremist Republicans will be against us. But when we organize, hold those in power accountable, and fight righteous fights, we can continue to make positive change. Additionally, the special interests we're up against will use our fundraising results to gauge what they're up against. So how about we give them something to worry about? I wouldn't ask if it weren't powerfully important that we hit our goal: Please pitch in $100 or any amount before tomorrow at midnight to help power our fight.

When a letter came from one of my brothers, the day was extra-sunny

I still remember the morning my oldest brother left for the Air Force.

Danielle, My first memory of my oldest brother, Don Reed, is like a five-second home-movie fragment that plays in my head. It's 1953. He's nineteen; I'm three. We've driven to Oklahoma City, where he will report for duty to the Air Force. My mother and I are standing close together on a sidewalk, her full cotton skirt blowing around me. She's crying. He's halfway up some steps when he turns. Squinting in the blisteringly bright Oklahoma sun, he waves and gives us a quick wink. Then the memory is over. Six days a week, my mother rushed to the mailbox to see if there was a letter from Don Reed — or later on, from my brother John or my brother David, after each of them went off to the military. When a letter came from one of the boys, the day was extra-sunny. She would read it and re-read it and call my aunts or my grandmother to read it again over the phone. My brothers all made it home safely, and for that, I'm eternally grateful. Growing up with brothers in the military gave Memorial Day a special meaning: Understanding what others have lost and honoring even more the sacrifice of those who died in service to our country and those who love them. We owe them a debt that can never be repaid. In Washington, I'll keep pushing our government to make decisions in the best interest of our service members, their families, and our national security. To take care of our veterans when they come home. To say no to forever wars. No matter how you honor Memorial Day, I hope you have a meaningful day.

Will you please pitch in today to support my re-election and make these plans possible?

Right now we have a system that holds millions of struggling student loan borrowers in limbo while also ensuring billion-dollar crypto firms wouldn't lose a dime in deposits.

Danielle, throughout my time in Washington, I've learned that when you start talking about policies that help working people instead of wealthy people or big corporations, plenty of critics will be quick to tell you what you can't do and what's not possible. It's like clockwork. Take student loan cancelation for example. Cynics said we could never put our government on the side of working-class and middle-class people and get something like that accomplished. But we got organized, we got in the fight, and we got this policy to the president's desk. I'll stay in the fight to get student debt cancelation over the finish line. Because that's a case where we still see how the rules work differently for different groups of people: Right now we have a system that holds millions of struggling student loan borrowers in limbo, but that same system worked overnight to ensure that big banks and billion-dollar crypto firms wouldn't lose a dime in deposits during recent bank failures. The difference between these two scenarios? The willingness to fight for them. I'm running for re-election to continue to use my voice to advocate for big, structural changes that help working people. Changes like canceling student debt, taxing the rich, reining in big banks, and making child care affordable. But I need you by my side in this fight. A contribution of $100 or anything you can will power my re-election campaign and help show the naysayers that these plans have strong support in California and across the country. Will you please pitch in today to support my re-election and make these plans possible?

Is this thing on?

We cannot go down this path.

Danielle, no matter who the GOP nominates for President, it's clear that they have chosen a path of dangerous extremism. We cannot — and will not — go down that path with them. If you're able, please split a donation of $100 or anything you can between President Biden's campaign and my re-election today to counteract the GOP's fundraising momentum with a strong, grassroots movement fighting for democracy.

“One of those”

Here's what lobbyists know about me, and here's why I'm asking for your support.

Danielle, I've picked up a lot of lessons from my friend, mentor, and former law professor Elizabeth Warren. Here's one: in politics, nobody gets elected all by themselves. I was only able to flip a Republican-held House seat — and go on to win my re-election campaigns — because of thousands of supporters chipping in $10 or $20 at a time. I was only able to compete against millions of dollars in GOP super PAC spending because so many people pitched in from the grassroots level. And I'll only be able to win this U.S. Senate race if folks like you are fighting by my side. Can you split a $100 donation between me and Elizabeth Warren to help power our grassroots campaigns? I'm honored to have her support in this race, and I'd be grateful to earn yours today. Help make sure we can keep fighting for working families in California, Massachusetts, and all across the country. If you've saved payment info with ActBlue Express, your donation will process automatically: DONATE NOW: $15 DONATE NOW: $28 DONATE NOW: $50 DONATE NOW: $100 DONATE NOW: $250 OTHER AMOUNT > You may know me as the woman who brings a whiteboard to congressional hearings to break down the math behind Wall Street's corruption and Big Oil's greed. But lobbyists know something else about me. When I first got to Congress in 2019, one of them said to me, "oh, you're one of those." An attractive single-woman, I wondered? No, he meant one of the new members who was breaking with tradition and rejecting corporate PAC money. After meeting that guy, I decided not to take lobbyist money either. I'm one of less than a dozen House members who has made that decision. In fact, I'm the only person in this California Senate race who can say they don't take money from corporate PACs, federal lobbyists, or executives from Big Oil, Big Pharma, or Wall Street Banks. Elizabeth doesn't either — and we're both so grateful for grassroots support. Washington needs change. We can deliver that by electing leaders who aren't beholden to corporate special interests. I'm ready to take our fight to the U.S. Senate. If you're able to, consider pitching in $100 to my campaign and Elizabeth's re-election today. Thanks so much for considering it, Danielle.
