Hi <NAME GOES HERE>,
It’s KAMALA HARRIS. I have a personal and important message for you. BUT FIRST — if that introduction made you feel uncomfortable, I am actually BERNIE SANDERS or ALEXANDRIA OCASIO-CORTEZ .
OR — if you are still disinterested, I am actually BARACK OBAMA!
ANYONE but ILHAN OMAR or RASHIDA TLAIB.
ANYWAY.
We need to FIGHT BACK. Right-wing authoritarian nationalism is in power. The Republicans control ALL three branches of the federal government. And Elon Musk IS cosplaying AS Dr. Octopus in “Spiderman 2” and siphoning off all of Washington’s vital powers. THINGS ARE NOT GOOD.
YES WE CAN!
IT’S URGENT — we need a plan. And before a plan, a concept. And before a concept, AN IDEA.
DISABILITY RIGHTS have NEVER been more threatened. If left UNCHALLENGED, DONALD TRUMP will TEAR EVERYTHING DOWN. Medicaid, social security, the ADA, the Affordable Care Act. IT’S ALL GOING TO BURN.
NOTHING IS SAFE. DON’T LOOK IN YOUR CLOSET. BOO! IT TRUMP!
OH SNAP, DO YOU THINK HE HEARD THAT?
Will you help us? I have made this personal and important message because with YOU, <PUT NAME HERE>, we can SAVE AMERICAN DEMOCRACY.
CIVIL RIGHTS!
PLEASE!
Respond YES to this message to be taken to a donation page for an ActBlue subsidiary located in Bethesda, MD. From there, we will decide if THE FIVE DOLLARS YOU GIVE TO US will go toward maybe school board elections or to the thought of disability rights.
Respond NO to opt out of getting these messages (though you know you will keep getting them anyway).
2028, the most IMPORTANT ELECTION of YOUR LIFE, <FIRST NAME AGAIN>, is only THREE YEARS AWAY.
We cannot give a dictator his third term. The consequences for DISABILITY RIGHTS might be IRREPARABLE.
For FIVE DOLLARS, will you stand with us?
INSHALLAH,
CHUCK SCHUMER
