Raja spoke at the DNC last night

 

Dear Sandeep,

Congressman Raja had the opportunity to take the main stage at the DNC and highlighted that China was hoping for a Donald Trump victory and the need to elect a Harris-Walz ticket. In an impassioned speech, the Congressman said, "Trump will pit American against American, and that is what China wants. For us to fight amongst ourselves. But we're not going back. What does Kamala Harris tell us? When we fight, we win."

To kick off DNC week, Congressman Raja was the keynote speaker for an AAPI caucus event which vice-presidential candidate Tim Walz attended. Discussing the upcoming election, the Congressman stated, "I think (Harris) has the momentum. I think she is creating such grass-roots excitement and enthusiasm and energy that she's going to be hard to stop. We are going to be hard to stop."

While at the United Center, Congressman Raja spoke with WGN about Vice President Harris' background and his own connection to his Indian heritage. The Congressman joked, "She is going to bring curry powder to the white house in a big way and that will translate into curry power."

On night 2, Congressman Raja sat down with CBS News to examine Governor Pritzker's speech that night and the importance of Democrats retaking the House. He mentioned, "He mixed levity with seriousness in a way that was really digestible and I thought, quite frankly, that he was the happy warrior. I think that is the mantle he has worn as our governor, I think that's why he has been so successful."

Congressman Raja spoke with Illinois Public Media about Vice President Harris' qualifications and the emphatic support she has from the crowd at the DNC. The Congressman noted, "I think [Vice President Harris] is due for a promotion. If you were in the hall last night, there were tens of thousands of people who agreed boisterously with that sentiment."

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

Barack Obama just announced:

This is worth the 30 seconds it'll take to read this email, Sandeep:

President Barack Obama just called on EVERY grassroots Democrat to stand up and SAVE Social Security from MAGA Republican attacks.

Let me explain, Sandeep: MAGA Republicans are STILL trying to cut our beloved social programs — and now, President Obama is calling on all of us to fight back. And when he calls us to action, we wouldn't dare let him down. That's why I'm asking you to help power a MASSIVE fundraising day and hand MAGA Republicans a HUMILIATING defeat. I need 198 gifts before midnight to help get this done and SAVE our Social Security. Will you rush in $100? >>

President Obama: "We Have An Obligation...To Safeguard Social Security"
 
CHIP IN >>

Sandeep, I'll be blunt:

If we don't do everything we can to protect Social Security and Medicare from Republican attacks, we'll ALWAYS regret it.

That's why I'm asking you personally: Will you rush in $100 before midnight to answer President Obama's call, PROTECT Social Security, and DEFEAT Trump-loving extremists that seek to crush our beloved social programs? This is so critical, Sandeep. >>

I just stepped off the convention stage:

Sandeep, I just stepped off the stage after speaking at the Democratic National Convention.

I spent every second up there rallying support for Vice President Harris – but right now, Trump is airing $12 million worth of TV attack ads to tear her down. This is the most important ask I've made of you: I need your $100 to help us respond to Trump's vicious attacks, spread the truth about Democrats, and help us bring home a historic win. Hear this: If we win, we could secure a Democratic Trifecta for years to come. So please, Sandeep, can I count on you to rush in on this historic day? >>

Sandeep, I'm so proud to share the national stage with strong Democratic leaders.

Not only did we stand up for working families everywhere…

We proved that someone who comes from an immigrant family like I do…

Who lived in public housing and used food assistance for a time like my family…

Who struggled to overcome adversity like I did…

Can share a stage with our most prominent leaders and make a difference for American families everywhere.

But I'll be blunt, Sandeep: Donald Trump and J.D. Vance are attacking us on the air right this second – and we need to respond ASAP. I need a massive showing of support in these next few hours to help elect Kamala Harris and prove that I can help win a Trifecta for Democrats. I left it all out on that stage, Sandeep. If I made you proud, your $100 would mean so much to me in this moment. Can I count on you? >>

Thank you so much for your support,

before Kamala Harris takes the stage:

 
 ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ 

Hi Sandeep! We're Raja's parents, Dr. K.S. and Vijaya Krishnamoorthi and we're reaching out to tell you why we're so proud of our son and how excited we are to watch Vice President Kamala Harris speak in Chicago in just 24 hours. We'd love it if you would read this whole email, but if you're short on time, will you chip in $100 to help us reach 937 grassroots donations for Raja before tomorrow's convention speech so he can help Democrats win the White House and Congress? It would mean the world to have your support. >>

Sandeep, our family comes from humble beginnings.

When we first immigrated to the United States, we faced economic hardships and worked hard to achieve the American Dream.

But never in our wildest dreams did we think someone from our small hometown – Tamil Nadu, India – would run for President. 

Truly, we couldn't be prouder to see Kamala Harris as our Democratic nominee. 

Us with Kamala Harris, Raja, and our grandson!
Us with Kamala Harris, Raja, and our grandson!

But we'll be honest, Sandeep: It's difficult to watch Donald Trump and his allies hurl insulting attacks at Democrats like Kamala Harris and Raja. And it would pain us so much to see these insults go unanswered and cost Democrats this election. So now, we're doing what parents do: We're stepping in and helping our son. We know it would mean the world to Raja to see 937 grassroots supporters step up today so he can help elect Kamala Harris and hand her a Democratic House. What do you say, Sandeep: Can you help Raja and chip in $100 before Kamala's convention speech in 24 hours? >>

Sandeep, we hope you understand the gravity of this situation:

Donald Trump launched despicable insults aimed at destroying Kamala Harris' legacy and image.

And now, he's backing it up with $12 million worth of TV attack ads against her across the country.

We'll be honest: We knew the moment a Black and South Asian woman was nominated to run for President, Trump's attacks wouldn't be far behind.

But we know this in our hearts: Raja is exactly who we need in Congress and Kamala Harris is exactly who we need in the White House. That's why we're asking you to chip in $100, or whatever you can spare, in the 24 hours before Kamala's convention speech begins so Raja and Kamala can band together and answer these attacks. So please, Sandeep, can we count on you to chip in before Kamala Harris takes the stage? >>
