US POLITICS
DEMOCRATS ... ESPECIALLY AOC!

AOC ... There isn’t just one election happening this November — there are hundreds.



Peter Burgess COMMENTARY
Simple ... I like AOC.

To my mind, AOC is a breath of fresh air in Washington politics ... and I wish her well.

She is not perfect. Who is?

But she is a whole lot better than most people who get involved with politics.

I don't know everything about her life story, but the bit I do know about suggests that she is not where she is because it was 'gifted' to her by rich parents but because she is competent, has done the hard work and has good foundational goals!

Alexandria just made history Team AOC April 13th 2024 ... 12:49 PM Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for Congress Peter, There isn’t just one election happening this November — there are hundreds. So yesterday, Alexandria made her first ever contribution to the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee after successfully pushing them to dedicate her dues entirely to the Voter Protection Program. Democrats will now have the resources to protect every vote in every state from the MAGA movement actively trying to overturn our democracy this November. “The entire country saw a terrorist attack on the Capitol,” Alexandria explained. “If anybody thinks that was not a dress rehearsal for what they may attempt in January 2025, I’m sorry to say I think that’s a very naïve assumption.” Will you split a $25 contribution today between our campaign and Courage to Change — Alexandria’s leadership PAC — so that we can keep building our coalition in Congress and win back the House in November? If you've stored your info with ActBlue Express, we'll process your split contribution instantly: Contribute $25 Contribute $50 Contribute $100 Contribute $250 Contribute $500 Give another amount Alexandria made waves for refusing to pay dues to the D.C.C.C. when she was first elected, which for a time blacklisted vendors who worked with progressives that challenged establishment incumbents — like AOC. In turn, Alexandria started Courage to Change, a leadership PAC to support people-first progressive candidates who fight tooth and nail for social, racial, economic, and environmental justice. The entirety of House leadership has changed since 2018, and now this year the left must win as many elections as possible to halt the immediate threat of fascism and expand our strength in Congress to chart a path of policy transformation. We can, and must, do both. Your support will have an immediate impact on progressive campaigns, their ability to organize, and their shot at victory. Can you split a contribution between Alexandria and Courage to Change today? This is the first time in history that a candidate has specified that their dues be used for voter protection. Thank you for your help. None of this would be possible without you. In solidarity, Team AOC
