The politicians in Kansas have added to the August 2nd primary ballot a constitutional amendment which will ban abortion in ALL cases with no exceptions for rape, incest or the health of the mother. If you would like to call Kansas voters to make them aware of this initiative so that they can vote NO, you can volunteer at this website: https://secure.everyaction.com/p/pxhMyyaMZ0eyrMhpLruvXw2

Please pass this along to family, friends and others you know who vote progressive:

Sharice Davids is one of the first two native American women elected to the US Congress. She has a tough campaign ahead. She is endorsed by a mainstream Dem coalition (the New Dem Action Fund, but she is a woman, a native American, and an LGBTQ, all people that progressives want to support Does anyone know her specific policy positions? Is it reasonable for the Political Rev to endorse her???

Email from Brent Welder:

If I’m going to be transparent with you, it’s important to me to tell you when we hit our budget, and when we don’t. As you know, we have been spending aggressively to make sure our progressive message gets out to as many voters as possible, and to pay for literature, meals, etc., for all of our hundreds of amazing new volunteers. In fact, as of Monday night, our account was virtually empty.

Tomorrow we need to wire out another $40,572 to finish paying for our tv and digital ads through election day (you have to do this several days before they actually air). Yesterday, your generous response raised us $19,338 – leaving us $21,234 short.

The good news: If we can match what we raised yesterday (plus a little more frankly) then we will be able to stay on track with what we think we need to win this race. Obviously we’ll continue to have other campaign costs associated with our big GOTV/field operation, but this bill tomorrow represents the biggest chunk left for us in this primary.

Even this will not get us as many ads as those being bought by the “Super PAC” multi-millionaire funding our opponent’s campaign – but it will get our progressive message out. I firmly believe it’s the winning message, and I know you agree. I don’t accept corporate PAC money – but I have YOU (and I wouldn’t trade that for the world!!)

You already know that the eyes of the nation are watching. We’ve now had over 22,000 donations in this campaign, and every single one adds up tremendously. I know I’ve asked so much of you recently, and throughout this campaign. But we’ve come this far and if we’re going to win we need to finish this off right. If you can afford to, can you donate again to our cause? It would mean the world to me, our campaign, and the progressive movement nationwide. And most importantly, to the millions who need Medicare for All, a $15 minimum wage, and need our help to wrestle their voice back from the Wall Street billionaires.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart,

Brent

P.S. This is a grassroots driven campaign. Whether you can afford to donate or not, and no matter where you live, please continue volunteering, it's more important now than ever!

Let's come up with a list of progressive candidates that are running at the local or state level in Kansas. Please post links to candidates websites or social media accounts so we can start to organize for the primaries.
