Jeanne's Cookies: It’s rigged

It’s rigged

I call it like I see it:

The system is rigged.

CEOs are making 300x what their workers make. Billionaires and corporate interests have armies of lobbyists looking out for them in Washington.

Meanwhile, workers are more productive than ever, and they’re still getting crushed by rising costs.

Jon Husted has made it worse. He recruited data centers to Ohio with sweetheart tax deals, then told families their rising electric bills were their own fault. But that’s Husted’s whole thing: He’s all about lining his own pockets. He’s not worried about working families.

But I am. Because I believe something pretty simple: When you love this country, you fight for the people who make it work.

Right now, there’s so much at stake for Ohioans. This state will decide control of the Senate. We can ensure working people have a voice in Washington once again. But National Republicans are trying to drown us out with more than $130 million in spending.

We can’t let them win.

I’m personally asking you to stand next to me and fight back. That starts by chipping in what you can to help us flip this seat and give working people a true voice in the Senate.

Will you give $5 or whatever you can afford today to help us hit our $2 million end-of-month goal 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.
