I will not give up on our country.

It has given me too much, and I’ll never be able to repay that debt. I still believe in our democracy, our values, and our Constitution. ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌  ͏ ͏ ‌

Folks,

If you can believe it, things didn’t stop when Trump called for my hanging. It didn’t stop with the threat of a court-martial from Pete Hegseth, either. It didn’t stop when the FBI wanted to talk to me and other members of Congress. Because now the Department of Defense has announced that it is escalating its investigation into me.

All for saying things the president didn’t like to hear.

If you’re feeling like this isn’t the country you grew up in, I don’t blame you. But I hope you aren’t giving up on it, Jason.

I certainly haven’t. This country has given me too much, and I’ll never be able to repay that debt. I still believe in our democracy, our values, and our Constitution.

There’s no chance in hell that somebody like Donald Trump is going to stop me from serving the people of this nation. None.

If he thought all of this was going to shut me up, he’s got another thing coming.

And if you’d be willing to help support me, please:

Split a donation between Progressive Turnout Project and me. It would mean a lot.

Thank you for supporting the Progressive Turnout Project. We’re a 100% grassroots-funded organization with a single mission: rallying Democrats to exercise their right to vote.

Our Mission: Rally Democrats to Vote.
DONATE TO BOOST DEMOCRATIC VOTER TURNOUT ➞
The best way to turn out voters is with one-on-one conversations.

Progressive Turnout Project is built around this truth, proven time and time again by researchers — including us. On average, our field work boosts voter turnout by more than 10 percent.

How are we different from everyone else sending you emails?

Our Turnout Teams talk to inconsistent voters who are likely Democrats, so they don’t need persuading on who to vote for. They just need a nudge, some information, and to hear from a real person. That means every eligible non-voter we’re able to reach brings Democrats closer to success on Election Day.

Compared to expensive TV ads, research has proven we have a much larger impact for our investment. Jason, that's why we send you so many emails. The success of our work can make or break an election. And we're entirely funded by grassroots donors.

From the entire Progressive Turnout Team, thank you for your support!
