It’s not too late, Pat

For all the threats I saw as national security advisor to President Obama and all the challenges we faced, I'd never thought I'd see anything like this.

For the first time I can remember, Pat, our democracy is under attack, and those attacks are coming from 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. In my four years as President Obama's national security advisor and my four years serving as his Ambassador to the United Nations, I never saw anything like this. We have a leader in the White House whose express intent is to divide us, who spends his time demonizing large swaths of the American populace, and who denigrates the very institutions meant to protect and serve our country. But here's the thing, Pat: It's not too late to turn it around. Here's how we do that: We replace Donald Trump in the Oval Office, we take back the Senate, we expand our majority in the House, and we win seats in state legislatures all over the country. Tomorrow at midnight the Democratic Party is facing a critical deadline that will determine how prepared we are to take on Donald Trump and his allies in 2020. Will you donate $7 to to make sure Democrats win next year? DONATE: $7 DONATE: $10 DONATE: $25 DONATE: $50 DONATE: $100 Donate another amount In these next few months, we have to make a deliberate decision, Pat. It won't be easy and we'll have to work at it every single day. But we must put the ties that bind us as Americans above all else as we fight to save our democracy. If we recall American history, we know that this country has gone through much worse, more intense, periods of division and emerged stronger for it. Our faith in our democracy and the leaders we aim to elect next year will prevail but we've got to work harder than we ever have before. Donate $7 before tomorrow's important deadline to help elect Democrats far and wide next year. We literally cannot afford another four years under President Trump. I'm honestly not sure our democracy or our global leadership can survive it. But what I do know is that this team is determined, fearless, and ready to fight like hell to right the wrongs Donald Trump and his allies have unleashed on our country. Thanks for fighting for Democrats and our democracy.
