The GOP's big, ugly betrayal of Americans, one year later

The big, ugly betrayal of a bill is working exactly as Republicans planned:

At least 4 million people – including 800,000 kids – lost food assistance.
Nearly 5 million were kicked off Medicaid and CHIP combined.
ACA premiums shot up 58% across the board – some skyrocketing 10X.
More than 1.2 million people were forced to drop health coverage entirely.
Household energy bills are up $110.

Behind all of those numbers are real people, friend – family, neighbors, co-workers, classmates. Fellow Americans, like you and me.

All of us are worse off now than a year ago, when Republicans passed Donald Trump's crowning achievement: the largest transfer of wealth from the poor to the rich in U.S. history.

Republicans are turning a blind eye to the damage their bill has caused, not because they’re surprised by the outcome, but because it’s working exactly as they planned: Sell out working families to make sure Donald Trump and his billionaire and trillionaire allies benefit.

But I refuse to let the GOP get away with this – and I've spent the last 365+ days working relentlessly to turn the tide. The best thing we can do to stop the full extent of harm in store for folks nationwide is to build up the grassroots war chest to show the GOP we're fired up to fire them.

Look – when my dad got MS and couldn't keep working, we didn't have an income for the few months it took my mom to learn new skills and get a bookkeeping job. Food stamps helped put food on the table for my six siblings and me over that time.

Back then, we lived in a country where the government didn’t just say, “You’re on your own.”

So I cannot – I will not – stand by as the GOP guts lifelines for folks struggling to make ends meet, just to turn around and cut a check to the ultrawealthy.

And neither can you, friend: Because at this point, nothing short of a surge of small-dollar donations toward our $30,000 mid-month goal on Wednesday night could convince my GOP colleagues that we're done with being sold out to stroke Trump's ego and line his pockets.

Can you please chip in now to help me make sure MAGA Republicans get the memo that for passing this big, ugly betrayal of a bill, they can kiss their Senate majority goodbye? It's the only way to take back the levers of power in the other Washington for working families on election night.

I don’t regret this decision

$1,000,000.

That’s how much money I wired to get our brand-new ad on the air.

These are the moves that make or break a campaign. And right now, National Republicans are hammering us with attack after attack... but my last ad fighting back got an amazing response.

But the GOP isn’t letting up, so neither can we. We have to put the same resources – or even more if we can – behind this new ad to reach the voters who will decide this race. I need your help. Will you chip in $5 now to keep our new ad on the air?

DONATE

Experts from The Cook Political Report to MS NOW have shifted Ohio’s Senate race further in our direction, officially calling it a “Toss Up.” That’s due to the incredible momentum behind our campaign that you’re helping us build.

But that same progress has put a massive target on our backs. National Republicans are coming after me as their top target to beat this November – committing $131 million so far to blast the airwaves with attack ads smearing my name.

$1 million is a big investment – but I green-lit this new spend because we cannot let the GOP's lies shape the narrative of our race. So please, will you rush $5 or more today to help me close my budget gap, keep reaching voters with our message, and win in Ohio?

When you love your country, you fight for the people who make it work.

Hey there! It's Sherrod Brown.

There's nobody fighting for Ohioans in the U.S. Senate right now, and I won't sit on the sidelines while working people get screwed over by large corporations and wealthy political donors.

If you work hard, you should be able to afford a decent life. But the reality is, life is too expensive. Costs are going up. Wages are staying stagnant. Working people are working harder than ever before, and they're not getting their share of the profit.

This campaign is all about changing that – and election analysts say we have a strong shot at winning in November.

But I'll need your help to pull it off: My opponent is a Washington insider being propped up by the Republican establishment, and he's got virtually unlimited resources.

That's not how our campaign works. We're a grassroots movement, and that means we rely on ordinary people chipping in a couple bucks. If you're able, please make a donation of any amount today. It could be what helps us flip Ohio and the Senate.

Our path to the Senate is getting shaky

It's Sherrod. Republicans are pummeling my campaign with $131 million worth of attacks.

I just huddled with my campaign manager, and one thing became clear: We need today to be our strongest grassroots fundraising day of the campaign yet if we’re going to stay competitive. If that's all you need to hear, please split a donation between me and Kirsten Gillibrand.

SPLIT A DONATION >>

Another dark money Republican group announced they’re funnelling $28 MILLION into stopping our momentum. They’re spending more in Ohio than anywhere else in the country.

The GOP’s cash infusion has changed the game overnight. So now, we need to respond.

I promise I wouldn’t ask if it weren’t important. But this is as important as it gets. Please split anything you can between me and Kirsten Gillibrand and help me reach today’s fundraising target and flip this seat:

This could set us up for failure

Hi, can I have just 60 seconds of your time?

July is one of the hardest months for fundraising for grassroots campaigns like ours.

Not many people know this, but the bulk of our fundraising comes from folks like you chipping in to emails like this – so when folks aren't as reachable as usual in the summer, our budget takes a hit.

But here’s the reality: We have goals we have to hit to ultimately win this race – and falling into a summer slump could set us up for failure.

So today, I’m asking you to chip in what you can – for three key reasons:
