Like so many Americans, I watched the scenes of Afghanistan’s fall with disbelief, extreme sadness and even anger. You see, I served the greatest country on Earth in Afghanistan back in 2015. But Afghanistan wasn’t the only place I looked terrorism directly in the eyes…

August 21^st 2021 marked six years since the fateful late-summer afternoon that changed my life and those of my two best friends – forever.

I had just finished serving our great nation in Afghanistan when my best friends and I decided to take a vacation in Europe. We were traveling on a Paris-bound train when a terrorist emerged from the bathroom, bare-chested and armed with an assault rifle, a jar of gasoline, and 270 rounds of ammunition attempted to take over and kill us all.

As a soldier, I was trained to take out a terrorist threat -As an American, I was taught to stand up for freedom no matter where I was in the world. Which is why I, my friends and other brave travelers took the action needed to stop this terrorist.

This split-second decision prevented what witnesses contend could have become a mass slaughter. There is a reason I was able to make this split-second decision to intervene, Fellow Conservative – I have and always will be willing to give my life in the fight for freedom, in the image of true American values.

At the end of this email, I am going to ask you to donate $3 to my campaign for Congress, in honor of the sixth anniversary of the Thalys train attack. But first, you need to understand why we need an American fighter like myself in Washington.

Right now, Democrats are…

• Opening and destroying our borders. They are granting dangerous amnesty that will flood every corner of America.
• Raising our taxes like we have never seen, and making common goods like gas and groceries unaffordable.
• Defunding the police, leading to a surge in violent crime
• Erasing historical figures from our schools like George Washington and Abraham Lincoln
• Teetering on the edge of a dangerous foreign policy crisis

These power-hungry Democrat elitists like Nancy Pelosi and Joe Biden don’t care about the people they represent. They only care about their own radical agenda.

The Biden Democrats’ grip on power in Washington is seriously undermining our freedom, prosperity, and security. The only way to pull America out of this leftist tailspin is by taking back the House in 2022. We need a fighter in Congress, Fellow Conservative and I hope that hearing my story proves to you that I am the man for the job.

My life’s mission has always been to represent the America I know and love – the world’s bastion of freedom and economic prosperity. I am taking that mission and putting it into action by running for Congress, by fighting for my neighbors and their wellbeing in Washington.

This will not be an easy road, which is why I am reaching out to you. I will need the financial support of every American patriot; every single dollar will help. Can I count on you to join my team with a donation of $3 today?

Thank you very much,
Alek Skarlatos
Republican for Congress
