Rashida Tlaib took on the Koch brothers

Trump has proven himself to be completely unfit for office, a threat to our country and an imminent danger to this world.‬ He has no allegiance to this country, to the constitution or to his oath of office.‬ That’s why in 2016, at the Detroit Economic Club, when Rashida Tlaib was tossed out of a Trump rally for standing up and demanding that Trump “read the constitution,” I knew we had found a leader who wouldn’t back down from a fight. And now we have a chance to send Rashida to Congress! At a time when Donald Trump’s own Party won’t hold him accountable, we need new leaders who will stand up to the establishment and fight for our shared values―putting the needs of working people over those of wealthy donors and corporate interests. And we need new leaders in the Democratic Party, who say what they mean, mean what they say, and will not be afraid to stand up for what’s right, even if it will upset the feckless political establishment and the old guard in the Democratic Party. [Stand with me and support Rashida Tlaib for Congress to take on the powerful corporate interests who dominate our politics and to stand up to Donald Trump’s hate and ignorance in 2018.]( As a State Representative, Rashida Tlaib took on the Koch brothers for storing toxic waste on our riverfront in Michigan. As a public interest lawyer, Rashida has taken on the powerful special interests in order to defend our communities, and if elected would be the first Muslim woman to serve in Congress. Rashida understands that economic justice means a $15 minimum wage and securing Medicare-for-All. She’s a leader in the resistance movement against Donald Trump’s assaults on workers’ rights, on our environment and on immigrants. She won’t just vote the right way, she’ll fight for the interests of working people―the backbone of our country. She’ll stand up to Trump and his buddies who pollute our environment and our communities, who demonize religious minorities and people of color, and who advance a corporate agenda over the needs of working families. [Support Rashida’s campaign today to stand up to Donald Trump’s hate and ignorance, and the powerful corporate interests in 2018.]( We need more fighters like Rashida Tlaib in Congress and in the Democratic Party. That’s why I’m proud to support Rashida for Michigan’s 13th congressional district. Will you stand with me today?
