Unprecedented Corruption

Pamela,

Today, Donald Trump turns 80 years old.

He’s the worst president we’ve ever had, hands down. Every week, something new comes out that would be the most corrupt act by any president in American history―and then next week, he finds a way to top it.

We can’t keep going on like this.

Today, on Donald Trump’s birthday, can you send a message to Congress demanding that they begin impeachment proceedings over Donald Trump’s unprecedented corruption?

IMPEACH

Enjoy your day,

Mike Phelan

We’re suing Trump again

Pamela, we just got another major win in our lawsuit against Trump's $1.8 billion slush fund.

On Friday, our preliminary request to STOP payments from going forward was granted by the judge. That means until Common Cause has our day in court, not a single penny of your tax dollars can be given out.

The judge recognized the harm this fund could cause – and that this the administration has failed to clearly end plans to give YOUR tax dollars to insurrectionists and Trump loyalists.

We won the battle, but the war is not over. We'll keep fighting until the administration shuts this deal down for good and Congress bans any corruption of this nature. Read on to learn why we took this fight on early to stop this looting of the American people.

Pamela, are you outraged that Donald Trump is trying to give $1.8 billion of your tax dollars to January 6th insurrectionists? [1]

Then here’s some good news: Common Cause is suing to stop him.

Beyond the ridiculous idea that Trump should be allowed to dole out $1.8 billion with little to no oversight, this glorified slush fund is unconstitutional – violating the separation of powers and the First and Fourteenth Amendments.

It’s only made headlines this week – but here at Common Cause, we’ve been watchdogging against Donald Trump’s attempt to shake down the government he’s in charge of from the very beginning.

We sounded the alarm about Trump’s initial $10 billion IRS cash grab. [2] We took legal action to disrupt his Department of Justice’s plan to rubber-stamp it. [3] And we drove public outcry – over 100,000 petitions signed – and alerted power brokers in Congress to just how unpopular this scheme is. [4]

Why’d we pick this fight? It’s hardly the most dangerous action from an administration that’s starting illegal wars and kidnapping our neighbors.

But Pamela – we took a big, early bet that this story was the single most effective way to show EVERY American who Donald Trump really works for: himself.

You don’t have to know what Russiagate is, or follow a web of who knew what and when. You just need eyes to see a President who shows so much contempt for the people he serves that he’ll steal from you in broad daylight – while everyone else struggles to make ends meet.

Now, as millions of Americans learn about this scandal that you’ve already been following, I want to take a step back: because this isn’t just about the money.

Anyone who’s paying attention knows Trump’s real objective is staying in power, so he can continue making money off the backs of Americans. That starts with undercutting the 2026 elections – that’s the common thread between his mid-decade gerrymanders, attacks on vote by mail, and push for armed, masked, ICE agents at the polls.

Now, with this January 6th giveaway, he’s telling anyone willing to break the law to help him that he has their back. That is a real threat to our democratic way of life – to our identity as a country that resolves its differences through free and fair elections, not violence.

Common Cause has already exposed Trump’s plan with your help – and now we’re taking on a new legal fight to stop it before it's too late. We can do it, with your help.

Thanks for all you do,

The team at Common Cause

P.S. We go to court and win because members like you across the country are chipping in what they can to make it possible. If you agree these are fights worth taking on – and want Common Cause to keep showing up when it counts – will you contribute today?

Here’s the situation: The corrupt influence of big corporate money on our politics has gotten completely out of hand.

We’ve seen the impact of this dynamic in races up and down the ballot, all across the country. Candidates backed by corrupt elites and corporate donors seem unable to stand up for working families when it matters most. And often, candidates with grassroots campaigns powered by everyday people are drowned out.

But it doesn’t have to be this way.

Will you please join our demand to Congress to overturn Citizens United and get big money out of our elections once and for all? Just click the button below to sign on:

SIGN ON: OVERTURN CITIZENS UNITED

Ever since the Citizens United decision in 2010, billionaires and massive corporations have flooded our elections with virtually unlimited dark money — buying off politicians, rigging the system against working families, and drowning out the voices of people like you.

It's corruption. Plain and simple.

We all deserve a government that actually works to serve everyday people. That’s why we’re coming directly to you today:

Will you join our demand to Congress to overturn Citizens United, pass real campaign finance reform, and fundamentally change who calls the shots in this country?

We’re always grateful for your help.

Our impact during DRC’s Ebola outbreak

Dear Friend,

Support from donors makes it possible for us to remain flexible and responsive in an unpredictable world — strengthening communities before crises occur and mobilizing quickly when new emergencies develop.

Today, we’re helping children and families facing a rapidly growing Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).

Healthcare workers in the DRC are in a race to screen and protect children and families from the deadly Ebola outbreak.

The outbreak is spreading through communities already affected by conflict, displacement and hunger. For children, the consequences can be devastating. Beyond the threat of illness, many face disrupted education, separation from caregivers and significant emotional distress.

Thanks to the support of our global humanitarian community, Save the Children is already responding. Having worked in the DRC for more than three decades, we have the relationships, expertise and infrastructure needed to act quickly when children are at risk.

Today, we’re supporting 34 health centers in the areas most affected by the outbreak. We’re training frontline health workers to identify cases early, reduce transmission and continue providing essential care for children and families.

Save the Children is providing infrared thermometers, gloves, masks, shields and chlorine solution to health clinics in DRC to support decontamination processes.

Together, we’re helping provide health, nutrition, education and child protection services to families in the DRC, including:

Establishing screening points at supported facilities to assess and identify Ebola.
Creating isolation spaces to safely care for patients and prevent infection spread.
Disinfecting health facilities, increasing access to safe water, and providing essential protective equipment for frontline health workers.
Providing treatment for children with acute malnutrition and support for infant feeding.
Distributing food assistance and cash support to families affected by illness, quarantine, or loss of income.
Establishing effective safety measures in schools that remain open, including handwashing facilities, hygiene supplies, screening at school entrances, and teacher training.
Sharing life-saving information in schools to help children understand how to protect themselves and their families.
Providing continued learning for students whose schools have closed through home-based materials and educational radio programs in local languages.
Tracking attendance and supporting children to return to school safely once they reopen.
Providing case management, family tracing, reunification and safe alternative care options for children who have been separated from or who have lost caregivers.
Delivering psychosocial support to help children and caregivers cope with fear, grief, and uncertainty.
Preventing and responding to increased risks of child labor, early marriage, and gender-based violence, while tackling stigma against affected families.

As a breastfeeding mother, Marléne is especially worried about how easily Ebola can spread. At a Save the Children clinic, she’s getting the information she needs to keep her daughter safe.

Marléne* recently brought her 2-month-old daughter, Deborah*, to a Save the Children health facility for routine vaccinations. During her visit, they were both screened for Ebola, and Marléne learned practical steps to help protect Deborah from the virus and prevent the spread of Ebola within her community.

In facilities supported by Save the Children, families are receiving not only essential healthcare, but also the knowledge and support to keep their children safe.

We’re also helping children access protection services, psychosocial support and safe care arrangements when children lose a caregiver or are separated from loved ones. Schools are receiving hygiene supplies and handwashing stations, and teachers are learning how to keep kids safe and continue their education whenever possible.

Learn more about our full emergency response in the DRC made possible with your support.

At a time when fear and uncertainty are growing, your support will help provide something every child deserves: care, protection and hope.

Thank you for your commitment to children.

With gratitude,

The Save the Children team

P.S. As we work to contain the virus, we need more support. Please consider making a gift today to fuel our emergency response in the DRC.

You deserve an explanation

Hey there, folks,

I’m about to ask you to chip in $5 to my Senate campaign in Ohio. But before I do, you deserve an explanation. (If you’re short on time and want to have an immediate impact on our fight to flip Ohio and the Senate, you can chip in here.)

June has been a huge month for our campaign. We went up on TV with a new ad, polls came out showing this race moving further and further in our direction, and although the GOP doesn’t want it to be true, the momentum is on our side.

That’s because of you. I’m so grateful for the hundreds of thousands of folks who have joined our movement to give working people their voice back in Washington.

But listen, this month has also been incredibly challenging. A dark-money super PAC launched a new seven-figure ad buy against me, bringing total GOP spending in this race to $83 million.

Republicans know as well as we do that our path to retaking the Senate majority runs straight through Ohio, and they’re firing on all cylinders to stop me from flipping this seat. The only way I can fight back against this onslaught of money is with grassroots support from folks like you.

That’s why I set a goal to raise $1.5 million before tomorrow’s mid-month deadline, and I need your help to reach it. It’s our most ambitious goal yet, but it’s what we need to raise to win a state like Ohio. Please, will you chip in $5 to win in Ohio and flip the Senate?

If you've saved payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:

Meeting this goal is how we’ll not only be able to compete with the GOP, but also stay on track as we head toward our first quarterly FEC deadline of the general election on the 30th. It couldn’t be more important.

Thank you,

Sherrod Brown

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.

If you'd like to receive exclusive updates from my team, you can text "OHIO" to 64054.

Thank you.

I'm trying to convince you

This campaign can only stay competitive with the support from everyday folks like you.

Is there anything I can say that would convince you to chip in $5 to my battleground Senate campaign today?

What if I told you that we're neck and neck in the polls and The Cook Political Report has tilted the race further in our direction – twice?

What if I said Republicans are planning to spend hundreds of millions of dollars to defeat me? And this will likely be the most expensive and competitive race in the midterms?

Or what if I told you that your contribution of $5 will genuinely move the needle and give Ohio's working families a real voice in the Senate?

I know there is a lot of uncertainty out there right now. I know not everyone who reads this email will be able to contribute, but if you’re in the position to do so, will you please chip in $5 today and help us flip Ohio – and the Senate majority along with it?
