I just told CNN:

Sandeep, I'll tell you what I told CNN: I'm doing everything in my power to make sure our country provides life-saving relief to Ukraine and stands strong against Putin's attacks. Now, Russian media is ATTACKING me for standing up for the truth. I can't overstate the urgency of what I'm about to ask: Will you rush in $337.50 before midnight to support my re-election and help me continue this life-saving work in Congress? >> Let me tell you the facts, Sandeep: I joined the House Intelligence Committee to protect our sacred democracy. Now, I'm working tirelessly day and night to support Ukraine to fight back Putin's attacks. That's why the Russian media just ATTACKED me for standing up for human rights. Sandeep, I'm calling on a historic response today -- 2,273 gifts before midnight -- to make sure I can continue my critical work in Congress. I will NEVER back down from this fight -- but I can't do it alone. Can you rush in $337.50 at this vital moment? >> I'll be honest with you, Sandeep: I'm working with lawmakers on both sides of the aisle to ensure Ukraine has our full support. We've made critical progress to save lives and stand up for human rights. That's why I'm asking you for $337.50 before midnight to support my re-election and help me continue life-saving, bipartisan work in Congress. Will you step up in this historic moment? >> 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.
