Unlike Most Birds, Hummingbirds Actually Pee—Why?

Massive Democrat fraud scheme about to be exposed?

A SECURE REPORT FROM THE HOUSE GOP LEADERSHIP CHAIR

Fellow Conservative,

As I reported last fall, foreign money is allegedly being illegally funneled to Far Left Democrat candidates via the Democrats’ top donation platform to influence our elections.

Now, the Department of Justice is taking action to STOP this Democrat cheating.

AP: Trump orders Justice Department to investigate Democrats’ top fundraising platform

“The presidential memorandum notes that a congressional investigation revealed significant fraud schemes using ActBlue and, over a 30-day period during the 2024 election cycle, hundreds of ActBlue donations from foreign IP addresses using prepaid cards, despite it being illegal for foreign nationals to contribute to U.S. elections.”

American citizens have also reported that contributions were made to Democrat candidates and committees in their name that they did not make themselves.

This fraud would explain how Democrats like Kamala Harris – running on one of the most extreme, unpopular platforms in history – were able to shatter fundraising records last year!

Clearly, the Democrats think they can’t win without cheating. But look, even with this scheme exposed, we can’t discount that the Left will find another way to break the rules and give themselves an advantage.

That is why we need to do everything in our power to make sure the midterms are FREE and FAIR!

As House GOP Leadership Chair, I’m leading the charge to FIGHT BACK against Democrat cheating, both in Congress and by verifying results on the ground.

But going toe-to-toe with the Democrats to dismantle their political machine isn’t going to be easy, which is why I’m asking for your grassroots support.

…And to ensure your grassroots donation goes as far as possible, I’ve authorized a 500% MATCH for the next 60 minutes!

Please make a contribution to help me FIGHT BACK against Democrat cheating – and for the next hour, I’ll ensure it goes FIVE TIMES AS FAR.

CONTRIBUTE $25 >> $150

CONTRIBUTE $50 >> $300

CONTRIBUTE $75 >> $450

CONTRIBUTE $100 >> $600

CONTRIBUTE $250 >> $1,500

Thank you,

Rep. Elise Stefanik
Chairwoman of House Republican Leadership
