it's getting even more personal and violent

A quick “Thank you!” to everyone who responded to my note about the threatening hate mail that has been pouring in to Public Citizen. That previous message is copied below in case you missed it. I hope you’ll give it a look. - Robert ****** We get a lot of hate mail at Public Citizen. It seems to be getting even more personal and violent — perhaps not surprisingly given MAGA’s embrace of outright fascism. Here are just a few examples: - “We hope and pray you die.” - “The real patriots will set things straight soon.” - “I hope Trump ends you all — in the literal sense of the word.” - “I will kill you without remorse.” - “You should be run over by a car.” - “You all deserve a bullet.” - “What’s really sad is that no one has killed the twisted morons at Public Citizen.” - “I would rip you apart limb from limb if given the chance.” - “You should die slowly, in horrible pain.” - “We will eradicate scum like Public Citizen.” - “The FBI should lock you up and anyone who supports you.” - “Get the f*** out of my country.” - “Your day is coming, sooner than you think.” That’s all in addition to the perpetual anti-Semitic attacks — along with, separately and ironically, accusations of being a “Nazi.” While I certainly wish we didn’t have to face comments — and the threats implicit in them — like these, I do think it’s important to take note of the vitriol directed at the work you and Public Citizen are doing together. Of course, we have no intention whatsoever of backing down. [And I’m hoping you can donate today — with our critical September 30 deadline looming — to give us the financial strength we need to continue standing up to plutocracy and fascism.]( A group of longtime supporters will match every donation made today in response to this message dollar-for-dollar. [DOLLAR-FOR-DOLLAR MATCH IS ON — CONTRIBUTE NOW]( [Better still, sign up as a Monthly Donor today and your contribution will be matched dollar-for-dollar each and every month for one full year!]( Thank you for standing with us. In unity, - Robert Weissman, President of Public Citizen P.S. If donating today is not a good fit, that’s okay. I hope you’ll understand that I need to ask now and again so that we have the real-world resources to carry out all the essential work you and Public Citizen are doing together.
