The first is that our last poll had us +1 for North Carolina Attorney General. So basically it’s a tied race. And the second is Mark Robinson. We’ve all seen the collapse of his campaign. Pretty wild stuff. But the side effect of Robinson’s collapse is that my opponent is now the leading GOP candidate in the state. That comes with a higher level of support from donors - and a new super PAC that just came in against us. Bottom-line: We’ll be facing a lot more attack ads. You may have already seen them. If you haven’t, here’s a screenshot to give you a sense: That’s from my opponent’s first ad, and it fits with his overall approach: lots of buzzwords and a plastic version of me that he can dress up to suit his needs. It’s a little silly, but if left unanswered, potentially effective. And he’s blanketing airwaves across the state. These attacks are everywhere. To be blunt, we have to match this surge on TV, or we will lose. So my request is for help to do that. All other campaign expenses have been handled. At this point, everything we raise goes straight to television advertising, which is exactly what we need right now.

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!
