Lucas --
No matter what the National Weather Service is forecasting for August, I promise it is going to be extremely hot for House Republicans headed back to their home districts.
Today, we're kicking off an aggressive campaign to hold Republicans accountable for repeatedly choosing Millionaires over seniors' Medicare. We're calling it "Accountability August."
Thanks to your incredible grassroots support, we beat our $500,000 rapid response goal for July's critical Federal Election Commission deadline, raising $671,658. Your dollars are being put to work immediately to take the fight to Republicans with targeted advertising, grassroots organizing, and our "Millionaires over Medicare" action center so grassroots Democrats like you have the tools to fight back.
We're on offense and forcing Republicans to defend the indefensible: A reckless agenda that would use Medicare as a piggybank in order to fund tax breaks for millionaires and protect subsidies for Big Oil. This is an insult to every hardworking American who has paid into Medicare over a lifetime of hard work.
I can't thank you enough for your tremendous grassroots support and for standing strong against the Republicans' reckless agenda to hurt seniors and instead protect millionaires and Big Oil.
When we're done with them, Republicans are going to want to book a flight right back out of their districts faster than you can say "Millionaires over Medicare."
Stay tuned,
