September 2, 2020 - Following the announcement of a Veteran and Military Community Coalition earlier this week, today The Lincoln Project released a new ad, “POW”, spotlighting the horrors American prisoners of war have experienced and recognizing them as the heroes they are. The ad also admonishes Trump for the horrific comments he made about the late Senator John McCain’s military service and experience as a prisoner of war. “President Trump dodged serving in Vietnam, who since even before becoming president has degraded war heroes and has allowed Russia to put a bounty on the heads of our brave service men and women,” said Fred Wellman, The Lincoln Project’s Senior Advisor for Veteran’s Affairs. “He is a disgrace to the office and unworthy of the title Commander in Chief. We are sending this ad to every Republican Senator and Congressman with a letter asking if they stand with our brave POW’s or Donald Trump. Our soldiers deserve to know who has their backs. It’s not Donald Trump.”...

“This week we’ve seen a parade of well-respected Republicans, including former Ohio Governor John Kasich, voice their support for Joe Biden,” said Tim Miller, political director of Republican Voters Against Trump. “Meanwhile, the President’s attacking an American company that provides well-paying jobs. Operation Grant couldn’t be more needed.” Reed Galen, a co-founder of The Lincoln Project, put the attack in perspective, “Ohioans are already dealing with the rising unemployment caused by Trump’s failed response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The last thing they need is to suffer the economic aftershocks of a presidential temper tantrum.” The Lincoln Project plans to spend $425,000 airing “Goodyear” today through next week. As the general election approaches, Americans everywhere will now have to ask themselves what happens if the president’s ire falls on their city, state, or employer next.

  August 11, 2020 – In a new ad released today, “Moving Day,” The Lincoln Project exposes the bleak reality coming for millions of Americans. The ad focuses on the Trump evictions and foreclosures that are coming due to the president’s failed response to COVID and the economic devastation that came as a result. The latest ad comes as President Trump has refused to expand the federal moratorium on evictions or reach an agreement with Congress on extending weekly benefits to the nearly 30 million Americans currently on unemployment who are dependent on the benefits to make ends meet. “The callous inhumanity of Donald Trump knows no bounds,” said Reed Galen, co-founder of The Lincoln Project. “More than 30 million Americans are reliant on government assistance because of the president’s ignorant and dangerous lack of response to a global pandemic. That he is unwilling to even provide $600 a week in relief is emblematic of a man who doesn’t give a damn about the people he has sworn to...

Vote Biden and Democrats Across the Board November 3, 2020 MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! After The Division and Coruption Brought On By DJT and His Sycophants In the GOP

July 29th, 2020 - The Lincoln Project today released a new video, “Trump Stooge,” holding Senator Susan Collins (T) Maine accountable for her consistent capitulation to the Trump administration and failure to hold the President accountable. Collins has become infamous for voicing empty criticism of Trump alongside statements that he will somehow, eventually, transform into a noble and responsible leader. “Susan Collins doesn’t live up to what Maine expects or deserves,” said Reed Galen, co-founder of The Lincoln Project. “Maine is waking up to who she is and her inability to lead. For the first time in her Senate career, she should be concerned.” When moments of challenge arrive, Susan Collins worries. Collins is no longer a Republican nor a conservative. She’s a Trumpist. Republicans believe in a strong foreign policy. Trump and Collins do not. Republicans believe in individual liberty, states’ rights and the 10th Amendment. Trump and Collins do not. Republicans don’t believe...

July 28th, 2020 - The Lincoln Project today released a new video, “Memories,” a reminder of the loss of life’s most sentimental moments as a result of President Trump’s calamitous response to the COVID-19 crisis. “We’ve lost millions of moments that make life worth living. And while people around the world are going to movies, eating at restaurants, and sending their kids back to school, Americans continue to live in purgatory,” said Reed Galen, co-founder of The Lincoln Project. When it comes to handling the COVID-19 pandemic, President Trump has never truly put the American people first. As a result, Americans are suffering in an ongoing year marred by loss – of livelihoods, dreams, and loved ones. Come November, we’ll have the chance to begin a shared, nationwide healing by removing Donald Trump from office and electing a thoughtful, responsive leader. Yes, we remember a time before Trump. We now know it is time to replace Trump. To find our way back to sanity as a na...

Given that Trump's campaign is imploding under horrible direction, the surging cnronavivius pandemic Trump has totally mismanaged nationaly, the fascist removal of innocents from our streets by federal thugs, Trump's support for white supremacists and the traitorous confederate monuments, combined with so much more that is both negative and un-American, chances are good and increasing Trump is destined to be a BIG loser and a failed one term POTUS. J uly 27th, 2020 - The Lincoln Project released a new video today, “Conservative,” the second to feature former Navy SEAL Dan Barkhuff calling for conservatives to vote for Joe Biden. Barkhuff, first featured in The Lincoln Project’s “Betrayed,” returns to remind Republicans that Biden will conserve the cornerstones of our nation — the rule of law, the American Dream, and the tenets laid out in our Constitution. “President Trump is lost. He’s lashing out, and has resorted to displays of force in American cities to fire up h...

July 19th, 2020 - Today, The Lincoln Project released a video, paying its respects to the life and legacy of Civil Rights leader, and Georgia Congressman, John Lewis. In the video his voice calls out to Americans, asking them to, “Wake up!” It is our duty to ensure his message lives on. “John Lewis deeply loved America and her people. So much so, that he made it his life’s mission to ensure that this great country lives up to its original promise, freedom and justice for all. And when America failed and faltered in carrying out this promise, John Lewis, for six decades, willingly and patriotically sacrificed himself to right her course,” said Lincoln Project co-founder, Reed Galen. He continued, “he exemplified love, dignity and perseverance, and understood that ‘good trouble’ is what America has always been about.” Lincoln Project co-founder John Weaver said, “American hero, Rep. John Lewis, gave voice to the Beatitudes through his fight for the poor, the meek, the hungry. With us...

July 18th, 2020 - The Lincoln Project today released a new ad, “Wall”, calling out the Trump administration’s inaction on the global COVID-19 pandemic by comparing the number of American lives lost, illustrated by a wall of coffins, to Trump’s infamous U.S.-Mexico border wall. “140,000 American lives have been lost because of Donald Trump. And millions of families will never be the same again. It’s imperative we vote him out this November.” said Lincoln Project co-founder John Weaver. With 140,000 lives lost and counting, Americans continue to witness the Trump administration’s ineptitude in overdrive. Our shared suffering must end on November 3rd. The "man" in the White House is either simply a liar trying to lipstick on a pig, or, he's just plain ignorant AND incompetents. Quite likely he is both.

Another spot on ad spot from The Lincoln Project . Trump MUST Go 2020 July 15, 2020 - The Lincoln Project’s latest ad, “Fauci”, lauds Dr. Anthony Fauci, who has steadfastly served the American people for decades, including as a leader of the current White House Coronavirus Task Force, and admonishes President Trump’s neglectful and incompetent response to the COVID-19 pandemic. “Dr. Fauci has served both Republican and Democratic administrations. He is a profoundly respected physician, whose work has improved the lives of millions of Americans,” said Reed Galen, co-founder of The Lincoln Project. He continued, “President Trump’s incompetence has cost 130,000 Americans their lives, sickened millions more and wrecked our economy.” Come November 3rd, Americans will elect a new proven and capable leader — one who respects and listens to our experts.

July 14, 2020 - The latest ad from The Lincoln Project, “Walk of Courage,” asks the question, who in this time in our country’s history is meeting the moment: individual Americans or Republican senators? Facing spiking COVID-19 infection rates, mass unemployment, and the threat of violence, everyday citizens somehow find the courage to stand up to and fight for what’s right. Meanwhile, Republican Senators with a platform and the full force of the United States Constitution behind them, would rather scuttle away in shame from Donald Trump than risk a mean tweet from the president. “These Republicans know that Trump is unfit for office. They know what he’s doing to this country is wrong. Yet they say nothing. Their continuing silence is disqualifying.” said Lincoln Project co-founder, Reed Galen. These Senators have made their choice. They stood with Trump when they should have stood with America. Soon, the people of this country will get to make their choice, too. This is ...

A reproduction of a recent letter by The Lincoln Project. It targets folks that are not comfortable with Trump's egregious lack of leadership and his gross incompetence and ineptitude. Come November 3'rd 2020 this nation has a historic choice to make. We either choose the preservation of our democratic republic and the rule of law or, we choose the continued acceleration into chaos, confusion, and the eventual complete unraveling of our government. ELECT VICE PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN PRESIDENT 2020! 07/12/2020 - The Lincoln Project The Lincoln Project launched six months ago in a different time and place in America. The country was preparing to experience its third impeachment trial in the history of the United States. The impeachment of President Donald J. Trump for abuse of power ended in political farce as Mitch McConnell and his supine Senate majority looked away from the clear evidence that President Trump had extorted a foreign government to assist his re-election....

Below are the two most recent Lincoln Project ad spots. It is becoming increasingly evident that not only must America defeat Trump on November 3'rd 2020, we must also defeat the GOP, a party that has become so corrupted by Trumpism that the health and well being of our democratic republic is at grave risk right now.  While I personally would prefer a less stridently liberal democratic agenda the truth is, if we continue down the road the corrupt GOP and its even more corrupt president has this nation on this nation will lose every bit of the credibility we once had amongst the free nations of the world. And rightly so. As well as experiencing a tyranny we have never known before. Vote Democratic Across The Board Nationally This November 3'rd 2020! July 8, 2020 - The Lincoln Project ’s latest ad, “Names,” laments the Republican Senators who have flagrantly violated their oaths of office to protect President Donald Trump. Reed Galen, co-founder of The Lincoln Project, s...

This nation simply cannot risk another four years of the most inept, incompetent, and corrupt president in ALL of modern political history. Not even Jimmy Carter, a fully decent and truly devout man, was as inept and incompetent as Donald J. Trump. He wasn't even close. We MUST defeat tRump November 3'rd 2020!! July 5, 2020 - The Lincoln Project today released their latest ad, “Historic”, highlighting the staggering levels of unemployment amidst the global COVID-19 pandemic, plaguing both its citizens as well as the U.S. economy. This pain of lost employment cuts through gender and race—with men and women, African Americans and Hispanics alike, all experiencing significant job loss. Reed Galen, co-founder of The Lincoln Project said, “Every American right now is asking themselves, ‘Am I better off than I was four years ago?’ With 8 million fewer Americans working today than when Donald Trump first took office, we know the answer.” “Millions of hardworking Americans...

As we come upon our nation's Independence Day and its many Celebrations we are posting the prior three ad spots from The Lincoln Project . This group of real conservatives and republicans present the truth about DJT and the very real dangers that the inept, corrupt, and traitorous Trump presents our nation. Please take a moment to consider the importance of getting the message of truth out to the American people and if possible donate whatever you can afford to help save our nation from the ravages of DJT and his egregiously misguided and damaging policies and practices. Click on the highlighted link in the preceding paragraph for more information on The Lincoln Project. June 28, 2020 - Today, The Lincoln Project with the meaningful contribution of John Orloff, released their latest Ad, “Debt,” commemorating the legacy of the Greatest Generation, the patriots who heeded President Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s call to protect Democracy, both domestically and abroad, and saved t...

June 24, 2020 - The Lincoln Project’ s latest video, “Leadership,” released today, illustrates how a true President leads in a time of crisis and juxtaposes it with the sorry excuse for honorable leadership under Donald J. Trump the past four years. The spot begins airing today in the critical swing states of Wisconsin, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Michigan. “Joe Biden is a strong, caring leader who can guide us out of the hell Americans find ourselves in,” said John Weaver, co-founder of The Lincoln Project. “It’s imperative Joe Biden wins this November.” Reed Galen, a co-founder of The Lincoln Project, said, “Joe Biden is the clear choice when it comes to compassionate and decent leadership. In a battle of heart, mind, and character Joe Biden wins by a landslide. We need to ensure that’s reflected in the vote this November.” No American should live in fear due to a lack of honest leadership. Thankfully, Joe Biden will be elected on November 3rd and with that the healing of our co...

By George T. Conway III, Steve Schmidt, John Weaver and Rick Wilson. The authors have worked for or supported numerous Republican campaigns and administrations. This article was  originally published in The New York Times . Patriotism and the survival of our nation in the face of the crimes, corruption and corrosive nature of Donald Trump are a higher calling than mere politics. As Americans, we must stem the damage he and his followers are doing to the rule of law, the Constitution and the American character. That’s why we are announcing the Lincoln Project, an effort to highlight our country’s story and values, and its people’s sacrifices and obligations. This effort transcends partisanship and is dedicated to nothing less than preservation of the principles that so many have fought for, on battlefields far from home and within their own communities. This effort asks all Americans of all places, creeds and ways of life to join in the seminal task of our generation: resto...
