Tim Canova fighting Debbie Wasserman Schultz [View all]

If you are able he is asking for donations.

His letter his morning -

Dear (TBF),

There were 12,554 registered federal lobbyists when President Obama directed the Democratic National Committee to stop accepting contributions from them.

Now, there are thousands more federal lobbyists in the post-Citizens United world — and Debbie Wasserman Schultz has opened the floodgates for them to influence the priorities of the Democratic Party by reversing President’s Obama ban. It’s disappointing and disturbing, and I wish I could say that any of us were shocked by the actions of a corrupt establishment. But I’m not.

Since we blew the whistle on Wasserman Schultz’s reversal of the ban, hundreds of people from across the country have sent a message to the DNC by contributing to our campaign. The average contribution is only $16.21. I’m very proud of that. But I know it will require even more to take back our country and our political party from Wasserman Schultz and her big donors.

Help raise $12,554 — one dollar for every registered lobbyist who now has influence in the Democratic Party thanks to Debbie Wasserman Schultz — by contributing $16.21 today. If you’d like to donate another amount, you can select one of the buttons below:

DONATE $10
DONATE $25
DONATE $50
DONATE $100
DONATE $200

You can’t reform a broken campaign finance system if you benefit from it — and it has become clear that Debbie Wasserman Schultz is too far entrenched in the Democratic establishment and Wall Street cabal to be a part of our reform movement. That’s why we have to shock the establishment, by defeating Wasserman Schultz in the August primary.

It will be difficult to hit this goal. Some would say it’s too lofty. But I believe in the power of this revolution and I have faith that supporters like you will step up for our campaign. Together, we can and will win this election.

Can you join us today?

Make a contribution to my campaign today. Let’s take back our country and our party.

With gratitude,

Tim Canova https://timcanova.com/
