Jason -- Twelve years ago, while running to serve in the House of Representatives (before the Senate even) I had the honor of speaking at the Democratic National Convention. I told the story of how I was co-piloting my Blackhawk north of Baghdad when a rocket-propelled grenade hit our helicopter, exploding in my lap, ripping off one leg, crushing the other and tearing my right arm apart. I shared how my survival and the survival of my entire crew depended on all of us pulling together. And even though they were wounded themselves and insurgents were nearby, they refused to leave a fallen comrade -- me -- behind. And I talked about how that election -- like this one -- is about the issues that matter to us: building an economy that will create jobs here at home and out-compete countries around the world. But it's also about something else. It's about whether we will do for our fellow Americans what my crew did for me; whether we'll look out for the hardest hit and the disabled; whether we'll pull together in a time of need; whether we'll refuse to give up until the job is done. In this election, we are up against Donald Trump and a very inspired MAGA-right. And it will take all of us doing our part if we are going to reelect Joe Biden and Democrats up and down the ballot. There is no organization better positioned to make that happen than the Democratic National Committee. But they can't do it alone, so I am asking: Can I count on you to make an $7 contribution directly to the Democratic National Committee? They will put your support right to work electing Democrats everywhere this November. | If you've saved payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately. | | | I closed my speech the way I'll close this email: Let's finish what we started. Let's keep moving forward with Joe Biden. Let's do what this country has always done: look adversity in the eye and work together to overcome it. Thank you, Tammy Duckworth
