the wrong outcome could sentence this country to its ultimate collapse. [continue reading]( {NAME}, As Americans, we sometimes forget just how big America is, how diverse we are, and how special we are. Itâs not just the land itself that makes us so special ⦠although, if you take just one look at Appalachia, youâll be mesmerized by the views. I called West Virginia home almost my entire life, West Virginia helped raise my children when I was away at war defending this country, but West Virginia is just one state out of 50 that make up these beautiful United States of America. Anyway, itâs not just the richness and beauty of this country that makes people want to be part of this country â since the beginning, itâs been about the IDEA of America, a nation that isnât made up of people who share a common ancestry, religion, language or even culture, but a shared commitment to equal opportunity and freedom. Thatâs what makes us special. I, for one, feel betrayed â how could so many of our fellow citizens betray America and attack its beating heart, our very own Capitol? How could so many of them turn against our home? I struggle with this question as I witness people still supporting Donald Trump and members of his Treason Caucus. One of the things that keeps me up at night is the knowledge that these people arenât done â theyâre prepping right now for their next assault. How do I know? Theyâre bragging about in public on social media, thatâs how. Trump went as far as creating a social media platform just for his deranged cult followers, and this is all they talk about! One very chilling thing we need to understand is that these people arenât just a bunch of aimless shut-ins living in their mom's basements mainlining Cheetos and Mountain Dew. They walk among us every day; many of them are successful professionals! For example, take Dr. Paul âthe Naziâ Gosar, one of Trumpâs top cultists in Congress and a key architect of the deadly January 6th coup attempt â heâs actually a dentist. Hell, he was the Arizona Dental Associationâs dentist of the year in 2001, they inducted him into their âHall of Fame,â and he served as their president from 2004-2005. All the while, he was secretly NUTS!!! (After he ran for Congress and really started letting his freak flag fly, all six of his siblings publicly disowned him and made a video endorsing his opponent.) My point is, we canât afford to underestimate our adversaries. Read any book on war, and you will see that once one side dismisses their opponent, they are all but doomed. We need to learn from history, we need to respect the fact that our enemy is well-resourced and hellbent on turning this country into a fascist, authoritarian, hyper-religious, white ethno-state. Thatâs the reality: This all comes down to white supremacy â it is alive and thriving in America. Maybe you donât live in a place where you can see it, but that doesnât mean it isnât there. I unfortunately saw it, up close and personal, for many, many years in West Virginia ⦠to the point where I had no choice, I had to leave, for my own mental health and for that of my family. Now, I didnât turn my back on West Virginia; I will keep fighting until the day I die for my home state, but I did need a break. (For those of you wondering, I now call North Carolina home.) Look, I don't want this letter to be depressing and negative. There is some good news: We did win in 2020. We did defeat them. We beat them in record-breaking fashion. We also massively outnumber them â even the most politically disenfranchised folks donât align with the far right. All of this should tell us one important fact: If we did it before, we can do it again. Make no mistake: Protecting and expanding our House and Senate majorities could very well mean the difference between preserving democracy for generations to come or sentencing this country to its ultimate collapse. The stakes have never been higher, and I hear from folks everyday who are fighting like hell to help elect Democrats in their hometowns. They come to us to ask for help, but we must make some tough decisions about who we can say âyesâ to, because our resources are limited. Especially in these final days. The more support you give us, the more good we can do â it's really that simple. And we'd love to do as much as possible in this final weekend to make sure we give this historic election HISTORIC effort! [So, {NAME}, pick a box below, chip in what you can - because in the days to come, we have our work cut out for us!]( [CHIP IN $10]( [CHIP IN $20]( [CHIP IN $60]( [CHIP IN $125]( [Chip in Other Amount]( Sappers clear the way, Airborne all the way!
