Neal is a very powerful, very bad congressman. He ignores constituents, carries water for corporate donors, and kills progressive ideas. This year, he's facing a real Dem challenger. Pro-Neal forces responded with a slimy smear campaign. (short thread...) nytimes.com/2020/08/23/us/…
This is crappy, but it shouldn't be a surprise. Neal is a career politician - been in politics for nearly 50 years! He's been working for corporate donors since disco - they're sure as hell not gonna just give up that power without a fight.
This matters because Neal isn't just any congressman - he's Chair of the powerful Ways and Means Committee. Green New Deal? Paycheck Guarantee? Stimulus? ALL of that legislation goes through Neal's committee. And he consistently wields his power to crush progressive ideas.
Neal ain't the real deal. But his challenger Morse is - no corporate donors, solid progressive credentials, genuine commitment to his people. So if you care about what happens in 2021, you gotta care about the next 9 days. Support Morse here: secure.actblue.com/donate/morse20…
Local Indivisible groups in the district endorsed Morse and then nominated him for a national endorsement - which he got. You can help by making calls, sending texts, and donating. Early voting is happening NOW so the time to help is NOW. /end alexmorseforcongress.com
