Adam could not and would not be bullied â not even at age 7! [Adam Schiff for Senate]( Friend â Well, youâve heard from Boca Eddie (Dad), and now itâs older brother Dan chiming in with a tale as improbable as it is true from our shared history as kids⦠People often come up to me and ask â whatâs Adam like? I mean, not on TV, or the news, but whatâs he really like? I am here to give you the real scoop. [If I donât have to convince you and youâre already sold, please chip in $5 to Adamâs critical end-of-year deadline right now. If not, I hope youâll read on about why Adamâs older brother is supporting him for U.S. Senate.]( [Throwback photo of Adam and his older brother, Dan, as boy scouts]( As boys, we lived on a lively street in Framingham, Massachusetts with tons of kids. One boy who lived next door had unique skills. He could draw in his breath, gulp it in deep, and then let loose with âburpâ speech sentences long and with such range he could do song lyrics. One day after school, the bus dropped off Adam and me at the usual stop. Typically weâd horse around and kill time for the two-mile walk home. (Okay maybe only one mile, but uphill in both directions.) Only this time, Adam, age 7, decided heâd practice his burp-speak and maybe unseat the champ on our block. After fits and starts, and much ardent croaking, he succeeded only in being annoying as hell. So, to make him stop, I flung my jacket at him, and the zipper chipped a front tooth. He bled. And howled all the way home. I told Adam to get creative and say he had bumped into a tree, or tripped over a log, or stumbled off the bus steps. Really anything. I gave him so many choices! But he howled even louder with each suggestion. When at last we got home, and Mom opened the door to see Adamâs bloody face and chipped tooth, I told her I was fine, but Adam walked into a tree, etc⦠it was THEN that Adam calmly and clearly went through a catalog of each of my lies, calling out each ruse, one by one, with perfect cool and not a howl to be heard. Adam could not and would not be bullied â not even at age 7! Neither did he demand retribution from our parents, or prevaricate about what really happened. When I look back I see that my brotherâs sense of truth and justice (and mercy) had as their inspiration this practice period of our youth, and that is why I am asking you to help me help him to continue to speak out and stand up against the real bullies of our era. Adam has the decency and calm since his earliest days to stand up, assert himself, and not be cowed. Though this is a true story from our youth, Iâm proud of how my brother, even as a kid, couldnât be persuaded to go along with baloney⦠or be conned into doing something unjust⦠itâs not in his nature. And itâs why I wasnât surprised when Adam was able to stand up against Donald Trump, his MAGA supporters in the House and Senate, and for our shared values of truth and decency⦠no matter what was thrown his way. [So thatâs why Iâm asking you to donate $5 to his campaign today. His race for the U.S. Senate is neck and neck, and with his campaign buying television advertisements next month, they need your support now more than ever.]( If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately: [EXPRESS DONATE $5]( [EXPRESS DONATE $10]( [EXPRESS DONATE $25]( [EXPRESS DONATE $50]( [EXPRESS DONATE $100]( [ANOTHER AMOUNT]( Iâm Dan, and I approve this message.
