I want you to know this:

Sandeep, I wanted to begin today with a longer and more personal note before my End of Quarter Deadline. It would mean a lot to me if you finished until the end. DONATE I'm the proud son of two Indian immigrants. My parents left their home to pursue the American Dream and faced countless hardships just to give me a life full of opportunities. I wouldn't be standing here today as a Congressman without their sacrifice. So hear me when I say: I'm sickened that Fox News and Tucker Carlson are spreading conspiracy theories about the Afghan refugees fleeing war, many of whom sacrificed their safety to help us in Afghanistan. I'm appalled to hear Republican colleagues side with these far right fanatics. I'm saddened that those seeking the American Dream are being vilified for political gain. These attacks are personal. I will never stop fighting for refugees and immigrants -- because their story is my story. But if Republicans take back the House, they will not hesitate to heartlessly tear refugees and immigrant families apart. I'm asking for your support today to champion the American Dream. Because what we do today matters. Will you chip in to fight for refugees and immigrants like me? >> Sandeep, I will never stop being proud of where I came from. My parents sacrificed a lot to come here. And faced economic hardship while building our lives here. I lived in public housing and relied on food assistance. But still we worked hard every day with the help of my teachers, neighbors and communities. Now I'm asking for your help to champion what's right and protect refugees and immigrants like me. Your support will go to fueling our progressive fight, protecting the Democratic House and fighting back vicious Republican attacks. All I'm asking is for you to chip in $12 or $15 before my End of Quarter Deadline tonight. >> Chip in $337.50 immediately >> Chip in $19 immediately >> Chip in $24 immediately >> Chip in $50 immediately >> Chip in $100 immediately >> Or chip in another amount >> Thank you, Raja             Raja represents Illinois in Congress. The son of Indian immigrants, Raja grew up for a time on food stamps and in public housing. He knows the struggles countless Americans face every day. Now, Raja is leading the fight in Congress on prescription drugs, climate change, election reform, and a more inclusive economy. But Republican special interests are funnelling cash to defeat strong Democrats like Raja. He's counting on grassroots supporters to keep this campaign running strong. Can we count on you to chip in $10 so Raja can keep up the good fight in Congress?
