Can Anyone Connect Me With Stop Project 2025 Democrats in Congress?
I'd like to be a resource, but I'm not having any luck getting them to respond (Scroll to the end to listen)
Way back in February, after I had a couple of weeks of Project 2025 content here, I reached out to my Congressional representative, James Clyburn of South Carolina. I explained that I am his constituent, and I wanted to alert him to my P2025 work. I offered to be a resource to Congressional Democrats and said I enthusiastically awaited a reply from his office.
I’m still awaiting a response.
In the meantime, news broke last week that Congressional Democrats have formed a Stop Project 2025 committee.
So instead of researching and writing newsletters, I spent the better part of a day trying to find contact information for these members of Congress.
First, I tried to contact Jared Huffman (D-CA). No matter how I tried to wrangle his website, I couldn’t send an email because I’m not his CA constituent. I finally reached out to his team on Instagram and am still awaiting a response.
I attempted the same with Jamie Raskin’s (D-MD) office. I couldn’t even contact his team on Instagram. Instead, I got this reply: “This account can’t receive your messages because they don’t allow new message requests from anyone.” I mean, fair. Frustrating, but fair given our political climate.
I sent a message to Pramilla Jayapal (D-WA), and it actually went through. AAANNNNNND I still haven’t heard from anyone.
I couldn’t send a message to any other Democrat because I am not their constituent.
AND NOW I’M GOING TO RANT.
These people email me every day, all day long. I get hundreds of emails a week from Democrats asking for money. They flood my inbox with requests. And I can’t contact a single one of them directly TO OFFER THEM HELP.
I’m not a well-connected political operative. I don’t have deep connections to the Democrat party. Hell, I can’t even afford a publicist to pitch this work to news outlets to garner more coverage. (A good publicist would have these connections, but I cannot afford to pay them with what I make from this work right now.) I’m simply an American who cares about her country and has insights into P2025 that I’d like to offer to this committee.
So I’m asking for your help. If you know anyone in the following congressional offices, please connect me with them:
Jared Huffman (D-CA)
Jamie Raskin (D-MD)
Ted Lieu (D-CA)
Nanette Barragán (D-CA)
Judy Chu (D-CA)
Mark Pocan (D-WI)
Diana DeGette (D-CO)
Pramila Jayapal (D-WA).
Or if you have a relationship with someone in your Democrat Congressional rep’s office, and they’d be willing to connect me with someone on this team, please do.
Andra- you might have some luck reaching out to Adam kinzinger - he just posted on Substack today about PR2025. He is no longer in congress but I’m sure has contacts in the house.
When I heard about the democrats forming a committee to combat P2025 you were the first person I thought about. I knew you were on the cutting edge of this issue from the start. I hope our elected leaders have the good sense to work with you. We don’t have the time to reinvent the wheel here, our lives and liberties are on the line. I’ll put out the word where I can.
