You have to ask a bunch of people for money (like this), and then the other side gets together and says lots of mean things about you. Having a baby is tough, too. Thereâs lots of screaming and crying, poop gets everywhere, and you donât get any sleep. Now that I think about it, itâs a lot like running for office⦠{NAME}, Iâm writing because my friend and former Senate counsel Josh Riley is doing BOTH. First, I laughed and told him he was crazy. When I realized he wasnât joking, I said Iâd help! [Josh is running for Congress in NY-19, and his race could decide the House majority. Will you join me and split a contribution between Josh Riley and Blue Amp Action today to help him win one of the most important races in the country.]( [DONATE NOW](
(The really tall guy is Josh.) Josh is used to doing things the hard way. He grew up in the district in a working-class neighborhood in Endicott, NY. When the local factories closed, Josh saw his community struggle â but he worked to put himself through school and graduated from Harvard Law. In the Senate, Josh and I brought Republicans and Democrats together to actually get stuff done (yes, it really is possible)! The bills we worked on together expanded rights for survivors of domestic abuse and provided new funding for addiction treatment and mental health programs. It wasnât easy, but Josh got them signed into law. Now, Josh is running for Congress without taking any corporate PAC money. He knows itâs not the easy route, but itâs the right thing to do. But that means heâs relying on folks like you and me chipping in. And with his time spread thin between the campaign, the new baby and, ya know, still having time to breathe, heâs relying on us now more than ever. [So if you can, please split a contribution between Blue Amp Action and Joshâs campaign today. Joshâs race will be one of the most competitive in the entire country, and heâll win it with our help.]( [DONATE NOW]( Thanks, Al P.S. I always add a P.S to these letters to make another ask. [If you read this far and havenât donated already, what are you waiting for?]( Cliff Schecter President, Blue Amp Action Amplify Good 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. 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!
