Happy Juneteenth and Who’s behind me?

 

SHARED FOR INFORMATION AND EDUCATION! 

DARK MONEY AND SUPER PACS ARE PUMMELING MARYLAND BECAUSE 

HARRY DUNN  HAS BEEN SUCCESSFUL! 

Harry Dunn showed great courage and leadership in the January 6 attack on the Capitol. Since then he's been a tireless advocate for democracy and justice. He is a true American hero. — Robert De Niro This is Harry Dunn, the Former Capitol Police Officer who defended our Capitol from Trump’s rioters. I am incredibly grateful for my friend Robert De Niro’s support as I run for Congress in Maryland’s 5th District!   Next, I am counting on YOU to get me across the finish line. MAGA Republicans are flooding races like ours with MILLIONS to cling on to their razor-thin House Majority.   The GOP is fighting tooth and nail to keep voices like mine out of Congress.    If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately: — Harry

Hey, this is Former Capitol Police Officer Harry Dunn, and I’m running for Congress in Maryland’s 5th District. On January 6, 2021, I was submerged for hours in something I struggle to describe: sweat, screams, blood, broken bones, hatred, fear, and racism directed at my fellow officers and me. These wounds are still healing. My resolve hasn't weakened. It's grown. That’s exactly why I'm running for Congress. But I’m not a millionaire. There’s no way I can self-fund this campaign, and I wouldn’t want to if I could. I’m not beholden to ultra-wealthy mega-donors and out-of-state special interests. My campaign is powered by ordinary people, like you and me, each doing what we can to fight back against Donald Trump’s MAGA Agenda.   6710 Laurel Bowie Road, PO Box 499, Bowie, MD 20718 harrydunnformd.com   info@harrydunnformaryland.com Paid for by Harry Dunn for Maryland

It’s a day I’ve thought about deeply every year of my life — but this year, standing where I’m standing, it hits different. You probably know the history. On June 19th, 1865, Union soldiers arrived in Galveston, Texas and announced that enslaved people were free. The Emancipation Proclamation had been signed two and a half years earlier. The people of Texas had been kept in bondage long after the law said they shouldn’t be — because the powerful wanted to hold onto power as long as they possibly could. I think about that when people ask me why I’m running. I’m not running because it’s easy. I’m running because on January 6th, I watched what happens when democracy gets treated like something optional. I’ve seen how quickly the progress we take for granted can be taken from us. And I’m running because of everyone who came before me — who bled and marched and got arrested and got back up — so that someone like me could even have a shot at a seat at the table. John Lewis was one of those people. He had his skull fractured on the Edmund Pettus Bridge fighting for something the law had already promised. He spent his whole life closing the gap between what America said it was and what it actually was. I have a tattoo inspired by him. A black heart for the struggle of Black Americans. Blood tears for the lives lost on Bloody Sunday. Red lightning for the good trouble he told us we had to get into. We’ve made incredible progress. Juneteenth is a federal holiday now. But a holiday isn’t enough. We need people in Congress willing to fight every single day to make it real. I intend to be one of those people. Thank you for being part of this with me. It means more than I can say. — Harry DONATE You're currently a free subscriber to Standing Our Ground.

Harry Dunn Jun 20 Here’s the deal… Veterans, working people, advocacy organizations, and some of the most influential political leaders in the United States? That’s who’s behind me. Disgraced billionaires, election deniers, MAGA Republicans, and repeated RNC donors? That’s who’s behind my opponent. I’m running a grassroots campaign based on ethics, folks. But MAGA-funded super PACs and dark money groups have spent over $12 MILLION against me — bankrolled by the same people funding Donald Trump and his MAGA pals. If I’m going to fight back and win, I need you on the team. Can you please chip in to help me keep fighting until Election Day on Tuesday? I wish I was making this up… One of my opponents is taking MILLIONS from the same people who also contribute to this dirty laundry list: Donald Trump Ted Cruz Lauren Boebert Mike Johnson And that’s just to name a few. On Tuesday, Marylanders have a choice. Elect someone who shares donors with some of the most extreme threats to our democracy, or elect me — someone who has vowed to protect our democracy no matter what it takes. But look, I can’t win this race on principles alone. My ads are at severe risk of being pulled off the air, so I’m humbly asking you to dig deep and chip in whatever you can to my campaign. Even $5 makes a difference right now! CHIP IN Are you with me? Harry You're currently a free subscriber to Standing Our Ground.
