We need to get Jon Ossoff and Rob Quist across the finish line.

There's no other option. At this point, it's clear that there are ZERO elected Republicans willing to do the right thing for the right reason. They have no integrity whatsoever, and anyone counting on that changing is making a big mistake.

That leaves us with two options for holding Trump responsible:

#1 - Take back Congress.
#2 - Put the fear of god into Congressional Republicans.

#1 isn't happening until 2018, which leaves us with #2 as the only choice. If we want to do that, taking over two bright red seats will go a long way.

We need some fucking wins, and these need to be the first two.

Speaking of which, there's a 4-1 match for Quist at the moment, and I kicked him $35, so get thee to a donor page.
