With JD Vance as Trump's VP pick, Ohio is squarely in focus

Marcy was right there to greet him, remember? This pick makes it abundantly clear that the GOP's path to victory runs straight through Ohio. Marcy Kaptur is in one of the toughest fights in the country. She was one of just five Democrats who prevailed in a Trump-won district. That means Republicans are doubling down this election to defeat her. [Please, will you split a contribution of $25 or more right now between Marcy's campaign and Blue Amp Action? To win this November, Democrats must come together and invest in tough races. Every dollar we raise goes toward combatting GOP attacks.]( [DONATE NOW]( {NAME}, here are some quick facts about JD Vance:: - He was an ardent supporter of J.R. Majewski, Marcy's opponent in 2022, who lied about his military service record. - While Vance will likely lather on praise for Trump now that he's his VP pick, let's not forget that Vance once said Trump might be "America's Hitler." - Vance has said he is "100% pro-life" and that he "wants to eliminate abortion." He does not support exceptions for rape and incest, claiming that "two wrongs don't make a right." - He said women should stay in violent marriages. - He has called Social Security and Medicare "the biggest roadblocks to real fiscal sanity." JD Vance does not represent our values, {NAME}. We must reject him this November, take back the House, and return to work delivering for the Heartland and working families everywhere. [Split a donation to Marcy and Blue Amp Action today so we can send a strong message. We urgently need your help if we're going to win.]( [CHIP IN]( Thank you for your support, Team Kaptur 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!
