Jeanne's Cookies: I’m not asking for your money

I’m not asking for your money – just your commitment.

I’m not asking for your money, friend – just your commitment.

If you’re with me in the fight to kick-start Trump’s lame-duck era on election night, will you please pledge to vote in the midterms by signing your name? I’m hoping to hear back from no fewer than 30,000 grassroots supporters before the end of the day.

Here’s the thing: In 17 days, all of us have a choice to make.

If we stay home, Republicans – who call Social Security a “Ponzi scheme,” blow billions of tax dollars on foreign wars while working families struggle to get by, and turn a blind eye as Trump sells access to the presidency in broad daylight – keep Congress.

❌ More dangerously unqualified nominees get confirmed to the Cabinet and courts.

❌ Groceries, rent, insurance premiums, interest rates, gas, and diesel prices keep skyrocketing.

❌ Tax cuts for billionaires and big corporations get subsidized with your Medicaid dollars.

❌ The least productive Congress in 40 years gets two more years in power (at least) – and the most corrupt administration in U.S. history gets off scot-free.

But if we show up and speak out with our votes at the ballot box, we can force change.

✅ We can take back both sides of Capitol Hill from the GOP.

✅ We can restore checks and balances on an executive branch that’s abusing its power with impunity.

✅ We can finally return power to the hands of working people.

It’s not too late to build a better future for our kids, families, and communities, but it’s going to take turning out in numbers too big to deny and winning by margins too big to rig.

The only way that happens is if millions in Washington state and across the country say enough is enough – so friend, I’m personally asking: Are you in? If so, please let me know that you plan to make your voice heard between now and Nov. 3.
