Dear Fellow Progressive,

No on the recall
I'm writing today with a simple message. Everything you and I
have fought for in the past decade is under attack.

never heard of is only three weeks away.

For years, Senate President John Morse and Senator Angela Giron have
fought for our shared values. In 2013, after victory at the polls in
2012, the Colorado legislature accomplished a long list of goals we
have sought for years-civil unions, tuition equity for all
Colorado students, increasing renewable energy, workplace
discrimination protection, creating Colorado in jobs, and more: all in
addition to a few common-sense gun safety bills in response to tragedy
and to save lives. I don't have room to list all of the things
we accomplished, but I have never been more proud of our Colorado
legislature.

The extreme right is trying to reverse not just this year's
victories, but a decade of progress in Colorado. Their goal is to
start "a wave of fear" across the nation by underhandedly
taking down two good Colorado lawmakers in wasteful, misguided recall
elections. Watch this shocking video at MSNBC and see for yourself
what the leaders of the recalls are trying to do.

Right now, no one in America needs your help more than Senators Morse
and Giron. Click here to make a donation against these recall
elections today via ActBlue.  Every dollar you give will go
directly to their campaigns.

If the wasteful, partisan recalls against Senators Morse and Giron
succeed, the right wing will use that to stall progress on all the
issues we care about: education, healthcare, leveling the playing
field for consumers and workers, equality for all Colorado families,
and creating good-paying, sustainable jobs right here in Colorado.

I will not stand by and allow these progressive heroes to be removed
from office simply for doing their jobs. We elect leaders to make
decisions, and that's what Senators Morse and Giron do every
day. They don't deserve this. Recalls are for criminals and
corruption, and we have regular elections in America to decide who we
think is best for the job.

We can't let the constant threat of recalls over any
disagreement become the norm. Click here to donate to Senators Morse
and Giron right now. Show your support for them, and for everything we
have accomplished together in our fight for progressive change.

This election is not in November. It is September 10th -- only three
weeks away. There is no time to wait. Do not wake up the day after
these elections wishing you had done more. Donate now, and understand
that this is one of the most important contributions you'll ever
make.
