Far-right Republican and former Major League Baseball star Steve Garvey could make it onto the ballot for the Senate General Election. [We’re setting an emergency goal of bringing in 10,000 grassroots contributions before midnight to make sure we increase Democratic voter turnout ahead of the Super Tuesday Primary Election on March 5.

They recruited Steve Garvey, a MAGA Republican celebrity and former first baseman for the Padres and Dodgers, with millions of dollars of his own money to spend on this race. He spent decades on national TV. California has a jungle primary, meaning voters of all parties vote in the March 5 U.S. Senate primary — and the Super Tuesday presidential primary that could decide the GOP nomination for Donald Trump is happening the same day – on the same ballot. According to the Sacramento Bee, GOP voter turnout on the day of Adam’s U.S. Senate primary could be 20 points higher than for Democrats. That means with high Republican turnout, there is a real possibility that Republican Steve Garvey could finish in the top two of Adam’s U.S. Senate Primary and advance to the General Election. If that happens, Adam is the best candidate to beat him. [This could be the most expensive U.S. Senate race in the country — and because Adam isn’t taking a dime of corporate PAC money, he needs your help to hit tonight’s emergency grassroots fundraising goal so we can reach the undecided voters we need to win. Will you rush a split contribution to Blue Amp Action and my campaign of $10 or any amount you can afford today?]( [DONATE NOW]( In a state of 22 million voters where advertising costs millions of dollars every week, we absolutely cannot fall short of our goals. Adam has always counted on this grassroots team’s support, and he needs it now more than ever. Thanks for stepping up with whatever support you can give — it means the world to him. — Team Schiff [DONATE]( Cliff Schecter President, Blue Amp Action Amplify Good Follow Us Blue Amp Action PAC PO Box 8384, Cincinnati, OH 45208 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!
