Trumpists at their finest

 

$140 million.

That's how much Republicans raised last quarter to take back control of Congress. That includes North Carolina Rep. Madison Cawthorn raising $3.1 million – the same Republicans who opposed a peaceful transfer of power by voting to reject the presidential election certification on Jan, 6.

With a larger campaign war-chest than ever before, insurrectionists are prepared to spend millions to flip the House and Senate so they can expand their influence this midterm election.

The work Common Defense is doing can prevent that from happening. We've got progressive veteran organizers on the ground nationwide, powerful messengers that can counter dangerous Republican talking points and baseless lies. It's how we helped defend democracy in 2020 and how we'll continue defending democracy in the midterms.

So if you can, chip in just $5 or whatever you can today to fuel our mission. Any amount makes a difference in our work to defeat insurrectionist Republicans in the midterms.

And what's worse is the influence Donald Trump still holds over the Republican party.

We're sick and tired of seditionists like Marjorie Taylor Greene and Ted Budd raising lump sums of money by blasting dangerous lies and Trumpian rhetoric. While we're focused on building back better from the pandemic, we're forced to defend our democracy from selfish extremists in Congress.

But, we can help put a stop to this anti-democratic nonsense, once and for all. We need to show these leaders that they can't use fear and finances to run this country into the ground. We won't allow them to dodge the consequences of their actions.

As the country's largest progressive veterans organization, Common Defense is dialed into the mission to move forward. We need a culture of accountability and a commitment to the truth.

Don't thank us for our service; join us in the fight. Chip in $5 today to help progressive veterans keep fighting for our democracy and progressive values.

In solidarity,

The Commander in Chief’s first priority has to be…

Our veteran community deeply understands the implications of the escalating situation at the Ukrainian border. Despite the Russian forces building up at the Ukrainian border, President Biden and our international allies are considering diplomatic options to de-escalate the situation.

The veterans of Common Defense are relieved to see a steady hand holding the reins in the White House because we know better than most that war is hell and must be prevented at all costs. The U.S. Military spent 20 long years quagmired in Afghanistan, 10 years in the Vietnam War a generation earlier. Ending one Forever War just to begin another will squander decades of sacrifice and steal from our future.

We can't have any more Forever Wars. The cost is too high for the American people of today and tomorrow.

Common Defense urges the Biden administration to continue working towards peace, diplomacy and the promotion of military restraint. It's a tall order, but we're signing this petition asking President Biden to avoid another Forever War. Will you sign your name too?

War comes with an unfathomable cost. Time we'll never get back, resources we need at home being shipped abroad, human lives taken or irreparably affected. Of course, the American people aren't the only ones who will be affected. War in Ukraine could result in civilian casualties ranging from 25,000 to 50,000, according to estimates, so we cannot be apathetic about the impact.

We know that if the Biden administration does not prioritize peace above all else, we could potentially commit to one of the most destructive military engagements of our generation.

Common Defense — alongside thousands of civilian activists and military family members here and abroad — has organized for years to end America's Forever Wars. Today we continue that work by doing all we can to promote diplomacy and asking our President to avoid taking military action at all costs.

If you're with us, and you don't want to see the U.S. join another Forever War, sign our petition to the White House urging President Biden to make military action our LAST option.
