Blog de Dunlap: I am so damn tired of this

Danielle,

I want to tell you about the moment I knew Graham Platner was my kind of fighter.

When someone asked him: When did you first realize the system is rigged?

Without hesitation, he pointed to the 2008 crash — a time when millions of families lost their homes, their jobs, their pensions, and their savings. People were cheated. People were lied to. People were trapped.

And Graham's answer? "When none of the bankers went to jail."

We need more leaders like Graham in Congress — ones who will call out what’s wrong with our system, stand up to powerful interests, and fight to unrig the economy for working people.

That's why I’ve endorsed him for Senate — and why I’m asking for your support today. Will you please split a donation of $100, or anything you can, to support Graham Platner and our movement? Your support will help send Graham to the Senate so we can finally unrig a system that's been stacked against working people for too long.

If you've saved payment info with ActBlue Express, your donation will process automatically:

Here's the truth: There are two kinds of people in Washington.

Those who go along to get along, who have ideas at the margins, who want to just make a tiny bit of change here and there.

And then there are people who understand that when the system is this broken and this rigged, and when billionaires have this much control, it is no longer time for changes at the margin. It is time for big, structural change.

I am so damn tired of hearing about what we can’t do. We need someone with the ambition to fight for what we can do.

Graham Platner is the kind of fighter for working people we need more of in Washington.

He’s ready to get out there and fight for universal child care.

For passing a wealth tax and making billionaires pay their fair share.

For universal health care.

For strengthening Social Security.

For cleaning up the corruption in Washington and holding this administration accountable.

For taking on the wealthy special interests who have gotten their way for too long.

I can’t wait to take on these fights alongside Graham. And we will — if we can sustain our grassroots movement, vote out Susan Collins, and take back our majority in the Senate.

That’s why I’m asking you to split a donation between Graham’s campaign now and our movement. This is one of the most critical elections of the midterms, and we need to ensure Graham has the resources he needs to compete and win.

Thanks for being part of this,

Elizabeth
