Help Elect Progressives While Teaching The DCCC A Much-Needed Lesson About Fighting Republicans Not Candidates Working For Medicare-For-All And The Green New Deal

Today-- as you have probably been reminded dozens of times already-- is the end of the FEC's fiscal quarter. It's a big deal for candidates, as they are pressured to post winning numbers-- or else. Screw that! Sunday is the day we send out our e-mails and we're not letting any of the end-of-the-quarter bull get in the way.

We want to ask you to donate to these candidates not because the DCCC is making every campaign crazy with their end-of-the-quarter drivel, but because the DCCC is not where any of them are going to find any help, no matter how much money they raise. Under Cheri Bustos' incumbent protection scam, some of them already have the DCCC working against them. Look at this:

Nancy Pelosi herself seems to think that progressive candidate for Arizona's congressional seat, Eva Putzova is so competitive with Blue Dog (barely) Democrat Tom O'Halleran, calling it "an extremely tight race," that she's already campaigning for the Blue Dog. Rather than keeping Democratic Party democratic, Nancy Pelosi decided to lend her name to tip the scales of a healthy primary race. Let's help make the primary even tighter by contributing to Eva's campaign. Odd that O'Halleran is struggling-- or pretending to struggle-- to raise $15,000... with the entire corrupt Democratic establishment behind him!

Eva and Marie Newman are in tough primary battles against Blue Dog incumbents, respectively, Tom O'Halleran and Dan Lipinski, two of the very worst Democrats in Congress. Cheri Bustos' new rule against helping challengers trying to replace incumbents makes their tough primaries, much tougher. But I feel pretty confident that DWT readers don't give a whit about Cheri Bustos' new DCCC rule, right?

This week, Ro Khanna, who-- like scores of Democratic members of Congress-- sits in Congress by virtue of having successfully primaried an entrenched incumbent. Over the weekend, in response to the new DCCC policy, he did something no sitting Democrat-- to my knowledge-- has ever done before-- NOT EVER! He directly went after the chair of the DCCC. He wrote letters slamming Bustos by name, an unprecedented and courageous move that she and her allies aren't likely to forget, not ever. "This new DCCC policy," he wrote yesterday, "would have a chilling effect on new ideas and make it harder to elect new leaders. It would also put us out of step with voters who are tired of D.C. politicians holding on to power at any cost." That's why Blue America thinks today-- the DCCC's sacred end of the quarter fundraising extravaganza-- is a perfect opportunity to send them a message by helping progressive congressional candidates like the ones you'll find by clicking on the ActBlue thermometer above.
