Fighting for the Ocean State in the Senate is an honor, and I work hard to deliver results for Rhode Islanders and Americans every single day. That’s why today I’m excited to share with you that I’m officially running for re-election in Rhode Island for the United States Senate. [Will you split a $25 donation between my campaign and Blue Amp Action to help me win and defend our Democratic Senate majority?]( I’ve worked tirelessly to make health care affordable and accessible, lower the cost of prescription drugs, take on corporate greed, bring the climate fight right to the big oil companies, shine a light on corruption at the Supreme Court, protect access to abortion, and stand up for American democracy. That’s a lot, but I’m proud of it; as Nancy Pelosi said: “Persistent. Relentless.” But this year, democracy itself is on the ballot. And as the chief antagonist of the dark money groups trying to bend democracy to their will, I need your help to win this thing. If you send me back to the Senate this year, I won’t stop fighting to make our government and economy work for all Americans. I’ll tackle climate change before it’s too late. I’ll defend democracy and freedom here at home and abroad. I’ll fight to put a real check on corporate power. And I’ll make sure the highest earners finally start paying their fair share. [So I’m personally asking, {NAME}, will you split $25 between me and Blue Amp Action to help me reach my re-election launch fundraising goal, win in Rhode Island, and keep the Senate blue?]( Thank you for all of your support. I could not do this without it. – Sheldon Whitehouse [DONATE]( Cliff Schecter President, Blue Amp Action Amplify Good Follow Us Blue Amp Strategies 1776 Mentor Ave. #411 | Norwood, Ohio 45212 513.438.0171 | info@blueampaction.com Having trouble viewing this email? [View it in your web browser]( About BlueAmp Action: We cannot sugarcoat the current situation. Right-wing authoritarianism, defeated by a worldwide coalition during WWII, was only in hibernation. Over the past decade it has infected democratic societies--including ours. It is as simple as it is terrifying: What we do now will define the future of our country and world. We at Blue Amp Action are dedicated to liberal, open societies, where reason and science are applied to solve our problems; where civil rights--including voting rights!--are protected for all. We fight for these values every day. Speaking up on our platforms, raising the voices and the political prospects of liberal pols and pundits. And savvy grassroots activists like you know, just like we do, that we can’t stop watching the people we help elect: after the elections, we have to keep organizing support for the policies we like and pushing back against the ones we don’t. When the public tunes out between elections and the only people our elected officials hear from are the paid lobbyists of wealthy corporations, our government stops being accountable to the needs of ordinary families. Democracy never sleeps, and neither can we. So we ask that you support our work, so we can continue to engage in this fight every moment of every day. So our kids grow up in democracy, not dystopia. Thank you for your support for all we do!
