Right now is no time to come up short.

It's time to fight like hell for a democracy where minority rule cannot impose an extreme and cruel agenda, where the Big Lie is called a Big Lie, where facts matter, and where accountability at the polls and in the press has a fighting chance. We have our work cut out for us, and we urgently need to raise about 400,000 by Thursday, June 30, to finish our fiscal year on track and give it everything we possibly can. Please help us get there with a donation if you can right now.

Right now is no time to come up short. It's time to fight like hell for a democracy where minority rule cannot impose an extreme and cruel agenda, where facts matter, and where accountability at the polls and in the press has a fighting chance. We have our work cut out for us, and we still need to raise upwards of 400,000 by June 30 to give it everything we can. Please help:

Feed me, CNN, feed me. Just reported on America’s most trusted name in news:

– The network asked voters, “Was the economy a very important issue in how you voted?” Those who said yes voted for the Democrat more frequently than the Republican, by a 20% margin. Recent good news on jobs and the economy, which Bush trumpeted frequently on the campaign trail, does not appear to be helping the Republicans.

– CNN also asked, “Was terrorism a very important issue in how you voted?” Those who said yes voted for the Republican in their district 53% of the time, and for the Democrat 45% of the time. The “terror gap” seems to shrinking.

– And finally, CNN asked, “Was illegal immigration a very important issue in how you voted?” Those who said yes actually split, voting for the Republican as frequently as the Democrat.
