Received this e-mail today from Democracy for America in support of Rob Quist’s (D. MT-AL) campaign:
The Trump administration is out of control, and we need to use every bit of leverage we have right now to force Republicans to take action.
The public is outraged over Trump's firing of FBI Director James Comey earlier this week. Democrats in Congress -- smelling a cover-up -- are clamoring for a special investigator. And more than 65,000 DFA members signed a petition overnight calling on Congress to investigate and begin impeachment hearings ASAP.
Yet despite all of this, most Republicans in Congress are indicating that they are willing to go along with Trump's potentially illegal actions as long as he gives them cover to turn their unpopular agenda into law.
We need to take our opposition to Trump's GOP to the next level by showing Republican members of Congress exactly what will happen to them if they keep covering up for Trump.
The House special election in Montana is coming up in just two weeks, and Democrat Rob Quist is running a strong campaign. If we can capitalize on this moment, we can win this race.
Some Montanans are already voting. We don't have a minute to waste. Can you help us send a message to the GOP on Trump by signing up to make calls for Rob Quist on DFA Dialer this weekend?
Yes! I'll make calls this weekend to help Rob Quist win.
No, I can't make calls, but I will chip in $3 or more today to support Rob Quist's grassroots campaign -- and all the work DFA is doing to help him win.
A victory in this crucial special election is well within our reach. The Billings Gazette reported on Tuesday that new polling shows Rob Quist within single digits in the Montana House special election -- and he's gaining HUGE momentum heading into Election Day.
The passage of Trumpcare -- and this weekend's New York Times story exposing the private praise Rob's opponent had for the bill -- created a critical opening for progressives in this race last week. Now, with scandals at the White House leading the news and Trump's approval rating hitting all time lows, we can make this contest a referendum on the GOP's cruel policies AND its crooked leader.
Grassroots excitement about Rob is kicking into overdrive: Just last weekend, DFA members and progressives across the country made 71,800 calls on DFA Dialer to help Rob Quist win.
Republicans in Congress are going to be watching this special election closely. They're weighing what to do about Trump, and trying to assess the impact that remaining quiet in the face of this scandal could have on their re-election chances in 2018. Let's take this opportunity to show them the strength of the movement to resist Trump.
If you're angry about Trump's growing scandals, there is no better way to fight back than helping Rob Quist to win this critical race. Can you hop on DFA Dialer this weekend to make calls?
Yes -- I'll sign up to make DFA Dialer calls for Rob Quist to help send a message to Trump and the GOP.
No, I can't make DFA Dialer calls, but I'll chip in $3 or more right now to build Rob Quist's campaign and help DFA support progressive candidates who will stand up to Trump.
Thanks for pitching in to help steal this seat back from Trump and the GOP.
