Raja Update 2/28

 

Dear Sandeep,

We hope all is well with you and your family, and that you are safe and healthy.

The Congressman joined hosts on WGN Radio to provide an update on the ongoing situation in Ukraine as part of his work on the House Intelligence Committee. When asked to characterize the situation, Congressman Krishnamoorthi told listeners that "This [invasion by Russia] is a premeditated, savage, unprovoked attack on a sovereign, peaceful country. What I'm hearing from everyone I talk to is we have to stand with the Ukrainians. We have to make sure they have what it takes to repel this assault. What we've learned from history is that ruthless authoritarian dictators like Putin don't just stop at one country's borders, they go on and on, and so we have to make sure we stand with the Ukrainians." 

Congressman Krishnamoorthi also appeared on WGNTV to discuss the conflict in Ukraine. When asked why Putin is so focused on Ukraine, the Congressman explained that, "Part of it is emotional, he has almost a maniacal obsession with Ukraine. He has written a very long essay, a 5000 word essay, about how he believes Ukraine is actually a part of Russia. The reason why we should care is any time an authoritarian dictator in Europe tries to redraw the border of any sovereign country -- it ends up being a bad thing, especially for its neighbors but also for the United States... we need to come to the aid of the Ukrainians and others in the neighborhood." 

The Congressman also contributed an op-ed to 'The Hill' this week, titled "Showing the disaffected that democracy still works." In this piece, Congressman Krishnamoorthi identifies and explains three prevalent groups in American society: the mainstream, the disaffected, and the violent extremists. After outlining the contours of what makes each group unique, the Congressman related the solution to his own work, explaining that, "We must restore trust in our democratic institutions for our social contract to work. It can be done. A good example is the bipartisan infrastructure bill passed last year, proving that important work on behalf of our country's future can still be accomplished in Congress. The benefits of this legislation will accrue to every state across America, employing millions of workers and strengthening our ability to compete in the world. After all, there is no Democratic or Republican bridge or transit system. These public facilities and services belong to — and benefit — us all."

We will continue to bring you news about Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi's work in D.C. and Illinois.

I just told MSNBC

Sandeep, I'll tell you what I just told MSNBC: Trump still plans to run in 2024 despite DROWNING in countless legal battles. That's why I'm doing everything in my power to hold Trump accountable and ensure he NEVER returns to power and profits off the presidency again. Can you rush in $337.50 right now to fund my fight? >> I'm shocked, Sandeep. FIRST: Trump attempted to profit MILLIONS off the presidency. THEN: New evidence emerged that he illegally DESTROYED vital documents. NOW: He VOWED to run for president if Republicans win back our historic Majorities. Sandeep, I'm calling on a historic response today -- 1,000 gifts before my End of Month Deadline -- to make sure this dangerous, twice-impeached president NEVER holds office again. Can I count on your $337.50 at this critical moment? >> Let me be clear, Sandeep: Trump has no business serving as President again. He tried to profit MILLIONS off of his presidency. He mismanaged and politicized a historic pandemic. He tried to overturn an election and incited a murderous riot when he failed. And now, it's up to us to hold Trump accountable. I'm asking for $337.50 to stop Trump from running in 2024. Will you step up in this historic moment?

NPR just reported:

BREAKING: Historic bill to boost USPS and save BILLIONS of dollars passes House Sandeep, I need your eyes on this: My Democratic colleagues and I just passed a critical bill that gives the USPS a major overhaul and saves nearly $5 BILLION. But despite this historic effort, Postmaster General DeJoy continues to politicize and run the Post Office as his business rather than a public service. That's why I need your signature on my emergency petition before midnight to oust DeJoy and save our beloved Post Office. Will you add your name? >> SAVE THE POST OFFICE. FIRE DEJOY 5,000 SIGNATURES NEEDED FOR: Sandeep Dixit SIGN ON >>   I need you to know three things, Sandeep: Trump's Postmaster General DeJoy is a longtime Republican donor.   He's politicized the Post Office and delayed critical mail-in ballots during the pandemic.   The Post Office is losing BILLIONS of dollars annually due to DeJoy's disastrous management. Sandeep, it's simple: Trump's Republicans are doing everything in their power to sabotage mail-in voting and make sure Democrats never win another election. I won't let that happen, Sandeep. Mail-in votes are at the core of America's democratic systems, and DeJoy is HARMING our elections with his longer delivery windows, shutdowns, and price hikes. That's why I need as many voices as possible -- 5,000 signatures strong before midnight -- to call on DeJoy to resign once and for all. >> Sandeep, I'm fighting everyday to save our beloved Post Office. I've heard from constituents all across the country about their outrageous mail delays. I've grilled Trump's Postmaster General DeJoy in front of my committee, twice. Now, my Democratic colleagues and I just passed this critical bill to save the USPS. That's why I have to ask one last time: Will you help me keep up the momentum to save our Post Office by signing my emergency petition before midnight to oust DeJoy, and save the USPS? It would mean so much to me if you signed your name right now. >> Thank you for acting quickly, Raja             Raja represents Illinois in Congress.

only asking for $5

Sandeep, I wanted to reach out directly for your support of $5 for stamps before my End of Month deadline. Here's why: Your $5 will go directly to: Informing voters about our critical work in Congress Strengthening the USPS after Donald Trump and DeJoy eviscerated their workforce Protect and elect a bigger and stronger Democratic Majority With only five seats between protecting our Majority or letting Republicans take back the reins, every cent counts. Your $5 will do more than you know: helping protect our Majority AND saving the USPS. If you can spare just $5, can you chip in before my End of Month deadline? >> Sandeep, I fought Trump's postmaster general DeJoy for his work harming the USPS. Now Biden has officially begun ousting Trump's officials from the USPS Board. DeJoy will have to answer to Democrats for his negligence. Yet, many workers and post offices are still suffering massive delivery delays because of DeJoy's cuts. I'm determined to save the USPS and defeat Republicans this midterm. That's why I'm only asking for your $5 to help reach the voters we need to protect our Democratic Majority and the USPS. Will you help out and chip in before my End of Month deadline? >> 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

desperately;

Sandeep, I wish I was coming to you with better news. But I won't lie to you: Republicans just took the lead in the polls by TWO points. I can't overstate how critical it is that we keep our White House, Senate, and House in Democratic hands. So please, could you rush in $337.50? I need all the help I can get to STOP Trump, McConnell, and McCarthy from flipping our Democratic Majorities and ERASING our progress. >> FOR: Sandeep Dixit SUGGESTED SUPPORT: $337.50 >>   Sandeep, I need you to understand the urgency of this situation.   Republicans just took the lead in the latest polls by TWO points.   They're outraising our hard-working Democrats by $9 MILLION.   They're on the verge of stealing our hard-earned Majorities and erasing our historic progress.   But hear me, Sandeep: Under no circumstances will I allow this to happen. I don't know how else to put this: Our Democratic Trifecta is in serious trouble. Republicans only need SIX seats to steal back our hard-earned Majorities. And unless we pick up the fundraising pace ASAP, Democrats could hand our Majorities right over to Kevin McCarthy and Mitch McConnell. If you want to keep our Majorities in Democratic hands, I can't tell you how much I need you to rush $337.50. >> Sandeep, I need you to make a choice in this crucial moment:   -- We can allow McConnell and McCarthy to outraise our Democrats, steal our Majorities, and set the stage for Trump to shatter the very soul of democracy once again.   -- Or we can step up, protect our Democratic Trifecta, and close this polling gap right now. That's why I have to ask you one last time, Sandeep: Can I count on you to rush in $337.50? I need 1,804 gifts to PROTECT our Democratic Trifecta and WIN this historic election. >> FOR: Sandeep Dixit SUGGESTED SUPPORT: $337.50 >> 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 so much, Raja             Raja represents Illinois in Congress.
