I'm always a little depressed at how insular most Americans are...... Happy Friday, {NAME}. We are 46 days from November 8th. Now is the time to be hassling your friends to register to vote - and hopefully to vote for me (and other Democrats on the ballot). Today I wanted to "zoom out" a bit on the email though. I talk a lot about American democracy and about domestic policies I want to enact, but there's a whole world outside our borders that we should be cognizant of as well. Maybe it's just the soldier and diplomat in me, but I'm always a little depressed at how insular most Americans are. I'm not asking everyone to be a foreign policy expert, but politicians should at least be aware of the rest of the world and its problems. I have seen little from Doug LaMalfa that implies any such international curiosity -- outside of Fox News headlines (besides where he can sell his rice). So what is going on in the world this week? 1.) Russia has decided to mobilize, which indicates a massive escalation of the Ukraine war. It's also caused some domestic dissent - because no one wants to be drafted for Putin's imperialist invasion.
The U.S. should continue to support Ukraine while ensuring that the conflict remains a local one. 2.) There are massive protests in Iran after a young woman was killed by "morality police" for not wearing a headscarf. The protests have no expanded beyond feminism to broader dissatisfaction with the regime. The U.S. should support these protestors by applying pressure on Iran to prevent a harsh crackdown like the last round in 2009. The Islamic Republic does not represent the will of the Iranian people. Like it or not, the United States plays an outsized role in world events. We need more politicians that understand that. I do. LaMalfa does not. [I'm running to bring my experience in the Army and as a former Foreign Service Officer to bear on US policy, because LaMalfa has been totally absent on this issue. If you're with me, chip in a donation to support our grassroots effort today.]( [Donate]( --------------------------------------------------------------- Paid for by Max Steiner for Congress 2485 Notre Dame Blvd, Ste 370 #194 Chico, CA 95928 Sent via [ActionNetwork.org](.
