I'm not going to speak in platitudes or shy away from what I believe. There is a war going on in this country, and the oligarchy and the fascists are winning right now.
Hello,
Nothing pisses me off more than getting a fundraising text from Democrats talking about how they're fighting fascism… Because it's such B.S. We're not idiots. Everyone knows most of them aren't doing jack right now to fight back.
People are being kidnapped into unmarked vans by masked police. There is a genocide happening in Palestine. Literal billionaires have taken over our government. And all Democratic leadership can do is send us another fundraising text?
My name is Graham Platner, and I'm the Marine Corps veteran and Democrat running for U.S. Senate against Susan Collins here in Maine. I'm not going to speak in platitudes or shy away from what I believe. There is a war going on in this country, and the oligarchy and the fascists are winning right now.
Susan Collins is the most vulnerable Republican senator in the country. We have an opportunity to replace her with a working-class Democrat – one who won't take money from corporations or AIPAC.
But I'm not a wealthy guy, and we're still short of our $50,000 goal and what we need to win. If I'm going to be able to defeat Susan Collins and flip this Senate seat blue, I need folks like you to chip in now to our campaign.
Please, will you split a donation right now between our campaign and Heartland Patriots to help me defeat Susan Collins, flip Maine blue, and take back the Senate with a Democrat who will actually fight to defend our democracy like Democrats oughta be?
In the history of this nation, power has never been just willingly handed to the people. Another mealy-mouthed Democrat isn't going to fix things or protect our constitution.
I'm ready to go to the United States Senate and fight – but I need your help today to get there.
In solidarity,
Graham Platner
