FU*K ALITO!

Sometimes profanity is appropriate. For example, on the anniversary of the Dobbs decision. Fuck Thomas, Roberts, Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, and Coney Barrett!

But especially Alito. His opinion noted, “The Constitution makes no mention of abortion,” and frequently quoted “eminent” legal authority Sir Matthew Hale, who sentenced two witches to death in 1664.

There is, of course, also no mention of women in the Constitution, a document written by 55 white men in 1787.

I wrote to you recently about all the accomplishments by the Minnesota state legislature, including codifying a woman’s right to an abortion. Thanks to your generous support, we were able to pick up three seats in the state Senate to take the majority (34-33) and make that happen.

Midwest Values PAC will be active again in Minnesota as we were in Pennsylvania, Arizona, Nevada, and Georgia. Plus New York, Iowa, Montana, Michigan, and Wisconsin… I hope you can help us help Democrats win all over the place in 2024.

And that includes keeping the White House! 

So, fuck ‘em!

P.S. As you know, I always add a P.S. as an excuse to make another ask. But this time I’d like to use this space to apologize for the profanity. There’s really no need for that.

Somehow, it’s been 20 years since I started Midwest Values PAC to help Democrats win elections — from progressive organizations to state legislatures to Congress to the White House — who share the values I grew up with in St. Louis Park, Minnesota.

Since 2006, Midwest Values PAC has invested more than $4 million in 341 candidates and organizations — and counting. 

Of course, none of this happens without you (or supporters like you) who care enough to pitch in.

As we mark our 20th anniversary, the work is more urgent than ever. This year, we have a big job: flip the House, take the Senate, and win up and down the ballot at the state and local level.

To mark our 20th year, we’ve set an ambitious goal: 26,000 contributions by Election Day 2026.

Thanks for being part of this fight, and for sticking with us for 20 years (or for just joining — welcome!).

P.S. Over the years, okay, decades, we’ve helped Democrats win tough races all across the country by investing early, intelligently, and strategically. That’s how you flip seats. That’s how you protect democracy. And that’s how you stop the worst impulses of a president who never should have been president in the first place.
