Like you, I was disappointed with the Democratic leadership's choice to end the shutdown without securing protection for Dreamers. We ask the American people to trust that Democrats have their best interests at heart, but it's just empty words if we cave when it matters the most.
It's not enough to just be a little better than Donald Trump and the GOP. We have to be principled and trustworthy. We have to do what's right and not just what's convenient.
Our impeachment effort, nearly four and a half million strong, grows by thousands every day. The other night, we asked our list a few questions in a poll about DACA and the Dreamers. The answers were illuminating:
90% strongly agree that the Democratic Party must lead the fight for Dreamers and other immigrant groups, especially in the time of Trump.
73% said we elected Democrats to put principles over politics.
84% said they want to be represented by a Senator who won't back down on helping immigrant children, no matter what.
We started this campaign to give a voice to the millions of Americans fed up with what's happening in Washington—and that's exactly what we're doing. As a result, I am announcing today that I will not be contributing any money to the Democratic Senate Campaign Committee in 2018.
