Received this e-mail today from Democracy For America in support of Rob Quist’s (D. MT-AL) congressional campaign:
A wave is building across America -- a wave that can sweep Donald Trump and his Republican allies out of office.
Last week, thanks in part to your calls, progressive populist James Thompson shocked the country by nearly winning a Congressional race in Kansas, in a district Trump won by nearly 30 points.
Last night, thanks in part to your financial support and to an epic grassroots mobilization, progressive Jon Ossoff beat the polls and won a huge victory in a special election for a Congressional seat in Georgia that Democrats haven't held in four decades. Ossoff nearly won outright, and is in a strong position to win the June runoff.
This proves we have the ability to flip enough seats and kick Paul Ryan and his cronies out of power in 2018 -- and set the stage for removing Trump in 2020 (or perhaps even sooner).
The next big special election is in May, where DFA-endorsed candidate Rob Quist is in a tight race to pick up a House seat in Montana. He's running a great, populist campaign focused on fixing the economy and lifting up working families, but the political establishment is still sitting his race out.
We proved in Kansas and in Georgia we have a shot at winning by running progressive candidates who fight for everyone and for our values. With the Montana election a month away, now is the time to organize. Can you help build on the grassroots progressive momentum we saw in Kansas and Georgia by signing up to call voters in support of Rob Quist?
Yes -- I'll sign up to make DFA Dialer calls for Rob Quist and help a progressive populist pick off this winnable GOP House seat.
No, I can't make DFA Dialer calls, but I'll chip in $3 or more right now to build Rob Quist's campaign and help DFA support progressive populist candidates in all 50 states.
Making these calls is easy -- and even enjoyable. Voters in Montana are fired up and ready to throw Republicans out of office. And they love Rob Quist. Here's what DFA members shared with us after calling voters for Rob on DFA Dialer recently:
"This was an inspiring and easy thing to do. The people I talked to were warm and supportive for the most part. The DFA Dialer system worked great!! Thanks for the opportunity."
"I am from Washington state and just completed 1 hour of phone dialing. I only have one call that wasn't completed. All others were answered and I had a very friendly conversion with people. Only one person said he had already been called. It was a good experience and I am glad I could help. Thanks for the opportunity to help!"
Rob Quist is building a strong campaign in Montana. He's a popular musician with a long history of public service. Rob supports Medicare for All and he opposes Citizens United. He has been holding listening sessions and rallies in counties all over Montana, and his message is clearly resonating. Rob's opponent is one of the Republicans' weakest recruits -- a New Jersey tech billionaire and perennial failed candidate who lost in November to a Democratic governor even as Trump won the state.
Progressives are repeatedly shocking the political establishment -- and proving we can take back Congress. Now, let's shock them by putting Rob Quist over the top in Montana. Can you sign up to make calls?
Yes -- I'll sign up to make DFA Dialer calls to help progressive populist Rob Quist win his House special election in Montana.
No, I can't make DFA Dialer calls, but I will pitch in $3 or more today to Rob Quist and DFA to fuel this progressive momentum -- and to score a big win in Montana.
Thanks for helping DFA fight and win in all 50 states!
