Dear -,

I want to talk to you today about why I am running for President of the United States.

When I was growing up, the United States had a thriving middle class. The average American family could afford a house, a car, a yearly vacation, and college for their children. One parent working one job could support a family of four. 

But all of that is gone now. America’s middle class has collapsed.

In today’s economy, we have one in four Americans living with medical debt, twenty-eight million Americans getting no vacation days at all, 112 million American adults – almost half – struggling to pay for healthcare, and almost two-thirds of American adults living paycheck to paycheck. 

What happened to create this seismic shift in the economic circumstances of the average American? What happened was a $50 trillion transfer of wealth over the last 50 years, out of the hands of the bottom 90% of Americans into the hands of the top 1%.

Corporate America has become more powerful than the U.S. government, now holding Washington hostage in what is essentially a system of legalized bribery. The undue financial influence of corporate forces on government policy has turned us from a "government of the people, by the people, and for the people," to a "government of the corporations, by the corporations, and for the corporations.” In policy after policy, short term profit maximization for huge corporate interests is placed before the health, safety and welfare of the average American, our children, our animals, and our planet.

This is wrong, it is immoral, it is unsustainable. And that’s why I’m running for President.

Make no mistake about it, this threat to our middle class is a threat to our democracy. For as the late Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis said, "we can have large amounts of money concentrated in the hands of a very few - or we can have democracy." We cannot, he said, have both. 

Ours is the campaign with a comprehensive Economic Bill of Rights — including universal healthcare, a guaranteed living wage, affordable housing, subsidized child care, paid family leave, access to tuition-free college and tech school, and more. All of these are considered moderate positions in every other advanced democracy, and they should be in ours as well. 

Needless to say, the Big Money that controls our government does not want me in this race. And that’s all the more reason why I should be here. We are offering the American people the opportunity for an economic u-turn and a new beginning in America.

Our biggest challenge is to make sure enough Americans know this opportunity exists. Certain forces don’t really want people to know they can be free of the invisible chains that tie them to economic circumstances that constrict their lives. Our stand is that they deserve to know, and that they deserve a change.

In this historic moment, please stand with us.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart,

P.S. We need YOU to help us keep going.

I have been sharing with you the outrageous expenses required to sustain our campaign. And I know, too, that the American worker is also facing outrageous expenses just to sustain daily life. 

Chip in now to help get money out of politics and to end the corporate takeover of our government.
