Just two weeks ago, my own community in St. “When we have parents across the country asking how they can make their kids’ schools resistant to attacks from gunmen, we know we have a gun violence problem. government should be providing, which is why I’m joining Courage for America and calling on the new House to prioritize helping Americans and veterans over advancing the extreme MAGA agenda they’ve put forward.” “Since I left the armed forces and began my own career in tech, I’ve dedicated my free time to helping other veterans transition into the civilian workforce. I’m joining Courage for America because I’ve seen what happens when people stay silent in the face of injustice - and I refuse to be one of those people.” You can work as hard as you can for the people you represent or you can look out for yourself and your own interests. “As a former elected official, I know that you have a choice when you’re elected to office. And I’ll continue to push back against MAGA extremism as a council member for Courage for America.” Disillusioned by partisan politics, I’ve turned to advocacy - pressing for local and national voting rights reform, action to combat the spread of disinformation and misinformation, and government accountability. “I consistently voted Republican until 2016, but my party has deserted me. Members of the Courage for America council - which includes veterans, educators, faith leaders, and former local office holders from across the ideological spectrum - shared why they chose to join the campaign and support its efforts: “The House Accountability War Room is putting the new MAGA House majority on notice: the American people are watching what they choose to do with their new power.” We are going to make sure the American people have a very clear picture of what’s being done in their name - from passing national bans on abortion to cutting Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid to raising prescription drug costs,” said Zac Petkanas, House Accountability War Room strategist. McCarthy and other members of the new majority have laid out are deeply unpopular and irresponsible. The war room will seek to put the new House majority on defense and seize opportunities to proactively drive the narrative while engaging partners to hold House leadership accountable as the caucus moves to take away core freedoms, launch bogus investigations, and put the profits of corporations over the wellbeing of families. During the first week of January, when the 118th Congress begins, the campaign will spearhead a series of actions to make it clear to House leadership that Americans are rejecting their extremist agenda.Ĭourage for America will also support The House Accountability War Room, an independent rapid-response operation led by Zac Petkanas, a veteran war room strategist and messaging expert with more than a decade of experience in competitive federal and state campaigns. “The People’s House should work for the People, which is why Courage for America will be elevating the voices of the millions of Americans who stand to be harmed by this MAGA agenda.”Ĭourage for America will demand answers from House leadership by amplifying the voices of everyday Americans of all backgrounds and political affiliations through earned and paid communication persistent birddogging and engaging at the district level to ensure the most powerful members of this new House hear directly from their constituents. “Despite the fact that the MAGA agenda was soundly rejected by voters across the country, the new House majority has vowed to push a dangerous agenda that will take away our freedoms, promote conspiracy theories, and put the profits of corporations ahead of the needs of everyday Americans,” said Naveed Shah, senior advisor and spokesperson for Courage for America. The campaign will be advised by a growing, nationwide council of Americans from across the ideological spectrum who oppose this agenda and worry about the impact extremism is having on their families and communities. Following the news that Republicans have officially secured a slim majority in the House of Representatives, a new campaign called Courage for America has formed and is prepared to speak out against an extreme MAGA agenda that puts money and power over the rights and freedoms of working families.
