We HAVE to win back congress in 2018.

I know it's a mathematical challenge, but we don't have any other choice. We HAVE to win for the sake of our nation.

billionaires with endless money, a corporate news media that pretends we don't even exist, voter suppression and by that time an internet that will be controlled by corporations so organizing and contributing will be harder.

The right has schemed and cheated to make the playing field tilted as much as they could.
