SIGN ON: Stop President Trump's border wall. MARK HERRING.

Dear David -- Earlier this year, I worked to block President Trump’s illicit redirection of federal funding for his unnecessary border wall. This action was part of a joint lawsuit across 20 states to halt the production of Trump’s anti-immigrant symbol along the southern border, which was never more than a bad faith campaign promise. Now the president is trying to override Congress and force taxpayers to foot the bill for his border wall. This wall is nothing more than a tangible dog whistle for his base and a stain on the geography and history of our country -- and now we’ve learned that the funds he’s diverting for his wall will come at the expense of supporting military families and their children’s education. SIGN ON: Stop Trump’s unlawful, unsupported use of taxpayer funds for his vanity project >> I will continue to fight any further construction or funding of his wall, but I need your support. Your name and your voice can put us over the edge in this battle. ADD YOUR NAME → We need to be progressing as a country, not regressing. Walls are both ineffective and archaic. In this day and age, our elected officials should be making this country work for more people, not trying to figure out how to stop its growth. Stand with the vast majority of Americans who oppose the wall and sign our petition today >> I’m happy to have you on our side, Mark

DEMAND THE REPUBLICANS BREAK THE SILENCE. JENNIFER WEXTON.

Demand that Republicans break their silence >> ADD YOUR NAME ➞ In a remarkable press conference on Thursday, Trump's acting chief of staff, Mick Mulvaney, admitted that aid to Ukraine had been held up because Trump wanted Ukraine to launch a probe into his political opponents. As reported by The Washington Post: “We do that all the time with foreign policy,” [Mulvaney] said when it was pointed out that he appeared to be describing a quid pro quo. He added: "I have news for everybody: Get over it. There’s going to be political influence in foreign policy.” The Trump administration is so flagrant in their disrespect of the rule of law that they'll openly admit their wrongdoing. And they think they can get away with it because so far, their Republican allies on Capitol Hill have dodged questions and made excuses. That has to change. Some things are more important than party politics -- and when it comes to stopping foreign interference in our elections, we need to put country above party. So please add your name to demand that Republicans break their silence and condemn the blatant wrongdoing -- which this White House has now admitted to. ADD YOUR NAME ➞ Thank you, Team Wexton

 HOW DOES THIS SURPRISE ANYONE? TIME AFTER TIME, DONALD TRUMP HAS DISPLAYED A COMPLETE LACK OF INTEGRITY, LEADERSHIP ABILITY, OR INTELLECTUAL DISCIPLINE THAT WOULD BE LAUGHABLE, IF IT DIDN'T MEAN THAT HIS SOLE PURPOSE WHILE OCCUPYING THE WHITE HOUSE SEEMS TO BE TO DESTROY OUR CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC, AND CREATE A FASCIST STATE THAT CATERS TO THE VERY FEW. (ESPECIALLY THOSE WHO PROMOTE HIS FOREIGN POLICY: CREATING A HOLY WAR OF "ARMAGEDDON.")

Jennifer endorsed by Planned Parenthood Action Fund! JENNIFER WEXTON.

David,

Planned Parenthood Action Fund just endorsed a wave of pro-choice champions for 2020. And Jennifer is among their "frontline" candidates -- advocates for reproductive freedom who've been targeted by the right and face competitive races.

Now more than ever, as the Supreme Court weighs cases that could alter the foundation of Roe v. Wade, we need leaders like Jennifer who will always fight to keep the government out of women's most private healthcare decisions. And protecting funding for Planned Parenthood is critical to ensure that women continue to have access to all forms of reproductive care.

Jennifer has shown her commitment to this fight time and time again. When she was in the State Senate, she fought against the Republicans’ undue restrictions on abortion, championing legislation that would remove unconstitutional barriers to access like unnecessary waiting periods and TRAP laws that targeted women’s health clinics. In Congress, she's been a tireless voice for women’s access to quality, affordable healthcare, family planning services, and contraception.

We need to keep Jennifer's pro-choice voice in Congress. 



Thank you,

Team Wexton.
