We are in the final hours of

the last quarter of our first

year since starting Rural
Progress. It has been an
incredible year.

This all started on a shoestring budget and the belief that we can
only move America forward by moving forward together, and we
only do that by bringing the rural districts into the Democratic fold.

When I decided to make the leap,and dedicate everything I had to

rebuilding the Democratic Community in rural America, I figured
the odds of success were about 60/40 against.
When I made that commitment I was incredibly lucky, Bernardo to
not have to make that leap alone.

I want to thank my partner, Laura Mikytuck, and my closest friend

Amber Rose Carter (who has started working with us, full time!).
Without either of them, I could never have made it through -
especially after losing my mom unexpectedly in July.

Thank you both - I know my Ma would be thankful, too.

Most of all, I want to thank you. Your support has been a constant
source of strength and inspiration for me. Your willingness to be
part of this journey, in any and every way you have, are, or will,
means the world too me - I wish I could tell you how it feels and
how much it means to me, but, frankly... it is just beyond words.

Thank you, when I think of Rural Progress, I couldn't picture it

without you.

I'm incredibly excited to continue working together, and for the

great accomplishments we have yet to come. In the meantime,
here's a look back at just a few of the things we managed to do in
2018.

Together, we have ...

• Invested in and provided free information, resources, and

training to candidates and local Democratic Committees
across Rural America, sponsored dozens of committee's
websites, events, mail campaigns, and other worth initiatives.

• Reunited children and parents separated under Trump's

draconian family-separation policies, raised over $9,000 to
help cover legal fees for separated families.

• Forced Republican Congresswoman Vicky Hartzler to

withdraw her sponsorship of the National Right-to-Work bill
and played our part (Along side some of the hardest working
Union men you have ever seen!) in helping to overturn Right-
to-work in Missouri.

• Planted the Seeds of Progressive Change....

I hope you are as proud of what we have done together and I am, and so many
members of the Rural Progress community are around the country.

We are making a difference, and in time - our work will change everything.
With your continued support we are going to expand to every district in the country, and will
provide candidates, campaigns, and Democratic committees/activists with much needed
resources, tool, funding, and training they need to rebuild the Democratic Community locally,
and to prepare for 2020.

What we do right now is what counts really counts. The work and investment we put in today -
building a community of support ready to stand up for good, will decide who wins tomorrow.

In the most important election of our life times, lets not leave anything to chance - we're
fighting for the soul of America.
