Hi Lucas, Chris Bowers here. As Executive Campaign Director, I don’t
get to write as many emails as I used to, but I wanted to write this one
because it’s important.
2016 is going to be a make or break year for everything for which we have
fought. Obamacare, peace with Iran, Net Neutrality, Wall Street reform,
climate change regulations, and so much more will be in the crosshairs
of a Republican administration. What’s more, anywhere from two to
four Supreme Court justices—including two of the court’s conservatives—could
retire. All 5-4 decisions, including
Citizens United, could tip either way.
Simply put, the stakes are
enormous and we need to make sure that Democrats win the White House and take back
the Senate.
Here’s where you come in: Daily Kos has a deeper reach into the
progressive base of the Democratic Party than almost anyone else.
- Site traffic has more than doubled in the past two years and we’re averaging more than 10 million unique readers, 50,000,000 page views and 4,500 articles a month.
- Our email list has nearly tripled in the past two years, to nearly two million subscribed—and the Daily Kos Recommended email is the most widely-read daily newsletter for liberals nationwide.
- We have one of the largest and most active social media presences in the political world, with 770,353 Facebook fans and 60-80 million unique newsfeed impressions every month.
Can you chip in $5 right to help us expand the Daily Kos Activism Team?
The Activism Team has already helped organize some major victories this year.
We organized hundreds of thousands of Daily Kos readers to take more than one million actions—sending emails to their congresspersons, calling their senators, attending rallies outside congressional offices—to secure the votes needed to save President Obama’s nuclear deal with Iran from Republican sabotage.
Daily Kos was also one of the biggest drivers of comments to save the internet from Big Telecom. We drove nearly two million comments, emails, and phone calls to the FEC, Congress, and the White House to preserve net neutrality.
With an expanded activism team, we can do big things to reach a record number of Americans with progressive news, make an unprecedented number of Get Out the Vote phone calls, and knock on a decisive number of doors to secure victory next year.
Please contribute $5 to help expand the Daily Kos Activism Team.
Keep fighting,
Chris Bowers, Daily Kos
Executive Campaign Director
