Friend, the question I attempt to answer in each of my films is deceptively simple: who are we as Americans? This election next month affords us the same chance, to define what our country stands for by changing who controls our Congress. To that end, I’m asking you to support a candidate near and dear to my heart. Maggie Goodlander is my own congresswoman, and if we don’t defend her seat, there is no path to taking back the House. Maggie restated a principle as old as the republic itself, that our servicemembers answer to lawful orders — and lawful orders only. The President responded viciously. He encouraged the Justice Department to indict her. A grand jury of ordinary citizens refused. That’s the decision — the decision to defend our Constitution at all costs — which we want from our elected leaders. Not everyone makes it, but Maggie has over and over. She has chosen to put her country before herself. Now, I hope enough of us will do the same and help make sure Maggie has the resources to win this pivotal race. Thank you for reading, Ken Burns Paid for by Maggie for Congress Maggie Goodlander has dedicated her life to public service, from staffing U.S. Senators, to clerking at the Supreme Court, to working in the White House. Now, she is running for her second term representing New Hampshire's 2nd Congressional District. From a young age, Maggie learned that our democracy isn’t something you watch happen from the sidelines – it’s something you participate in. Will you pitch in $10 to help Maggie keep solving our toughest problems in Congress? CONTRIBUTE → Maggie for Congress | 131 Daniel Webster Hwy #949, Nashua, NH 03060

Real patriotism is a decision

IMPORTANT ISSUES! THESE ARE NOT SOLICITATIONS

Friends, the Declaration of Independence closes with a promise: “We mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor.” That's a big thing to give up. Putting your country before yourself is real patriotism and requires making a conscious decision — a decision to devote ourselves to serving our neighbors and bettering our future. But my congresswoman in New Hampshire, Maggie Goodlander, has made that very decision time after time. She's sworn an oath to uphold our Constitution — not as a Democrat or as a Republican, but as an American. She treats it as a sacred obligation. Maggie stood up for her fellow servicemembers and the rule of law. The president threatened her by name, and tried to have her indicted. Maggie did not waver. Now, this president and his Republican allies want to see Maggie unseated, and they're spending a large sum to make it happen. If they succeed this time, Congress will lose someone willing to defend our Constitution, no matter the consequences. Maggie needs our help right now to win reelection so Democrats can retake the House. Will you support Maggie's campaign with a contribution of $10 or even more?

SHARED FOR EDUCATION AND INFORMATION! 

A REMINDER OF COURAGE AND HEROISM THAT'S SORELY NEEDED IN 

THE SENATE!

This is Ken Burns.

I have dedicated my life to sharing America’s greatest stories through films. They examine crucial moments in our nation’s history and the threats to our democracy. These stories are not easy.

Today, our country is facing its own reckoning, and the stakes have never been higher.

That is why I am reaching out. Alex Vindman—who I first met in 1983 while filming my documentary, The Statue of Liberty, when he was seven—is running for the United States Senate. Alex is an amazing American and a true fighter for what is right. He’s a man of character.

The health of our democracy and the vitality of our Republic could hinge on his race in Florida. He deserves and needs your support.

Will you please make a donation to Alex Vindman’s campaign for Senate before his first official FEC fundraising deadline? This is a crucial moment for our democracy, and he is counting on your support.

When our country needed a soldier, Alex Vindman stepped up. Alex served 21 years as a U.S. Army combat veteran and was awarded a Purple Heart after being wounded in Iraq.

When our democracy needed somebody to say no one’s above the law, Alex Vindman stood up. He honored his oath to defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic.

Now, Alex is ready to take our fight to the United States Senate. There is no one who will fight harder for us than Alex Vindman.

But there is no doubt that the special interests will spend whatever it takes to keep their preferred candidate in the Senate. The only way we can stop that is by ensuring Alex can mobilize and share his message with every possible Florida voter.

So, I am asking you: Can you help send Alex to the United States Senate by donating before his critical FEC deadline?

Thank you.

Ken Burns on the ‘incredibly dangerous’ party that the GOP has ‘morphed’ into

In bestowing Ken Burns with its 2024 Liberty Medal, the National Constitution Center called him “America’s history teacher,” and he spoke to Ali Velshi about the “echoes” and “rhymes” between the current political moment and other periods in America’s history. “We’re dealt a certain hand of cards right now which we have to respond to,” he says. Burns also remarks on how the Republican Party has “morphed” into an “incredibly dangerous” group that needs to be reformed. “It’s going to be difficult for the Republican Party to figure out a way to escape the specific gravity of the darkness that engulfs it.” » Subscribe to MSNBC:    / msnbc   Download our new MSNBC app for the latest breaking news and daily headlines at a glance: https://www.msnbc.com/information/dow...

KEN BURNS: I’m asking you to support Ruben Gallego in Arizona

 

Hello. This is Ken Burns.

As a filmmaker, I've always been deeply interested in the moments that defined the American spirit — the Civil War, the Great Depression, the Second World War, the Vietnam War, the Civil Rights Movement.

These were inflection points where we were forced to live up to the essential promise of our nation: preserving a democratic system of government that respects the rights and addresses the needs of all its citizens.

As Benjamin Franklin so wisely put it, "A Republic, if you can keep it."

Today, we face a new generational challenge. Our system of government is in great peril. The democratic values that make up the very fabric of our nation are under assault and at risk of unraveling. It has never been more important that we come together to ensure that our republic endures for future generations.

To meet that challenge, we need leaders who understand how important our democracy is and what it truly means to serve. That's why I’m writing to you on behalf of Ruben Gallego. Ruben is the son of immigrant parents, the first in his family to go to college, a Marine veteran, and a father.

His opponent, Kari Lake, attacks our elections at every turn. She sows the very same discord that is tearing our country apart. She is dangerous. Where Ruben would unite us, Kari Lake seeks only division.

We need more people like Ruben serving our country, and it would mean the world to me if you could support his campaign.

Can you make a donation of $25 or whatever you can afford to Ruben’s campaign for U.S. Senate in Arizona? This is a critical moment for our country, and I would not ask for your help if this were not so important.

If you've stored your info with ActBlue, we'll process your contribution instantly.

DONATE $5   DONATE $25

DONATE $50   DONATE $100

DONATE $250   OTHER AMOUNT

Ruben must win in Arizona if we want to have any chance at holding the Senate and protecting our democracy. Those are the stakes.

I hope he can count on you,

Ken Burns
