My name is Aquilino Gonell, former U.S. Capitol Police Sergeant. On January 6, 2021, I almost died defending the Capitol from insurrectionists inspired by Donald Trump's false claims that the 2020 election was stolen. After fighting with multiple rioters, I suffered career-ending (physical, mental, and moral) injuries and was trampled in a tunnel holding the police line and defending my colleagues and your elected leader regardless of their political views or party. I defended Marjorie Taylor Greene just as much as Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. And Nancy Pelosi just as much as Kevin McCarthy. I did the best I could, but they just kept coming... I fought for our democracy that day, and I am still fighting for it today. That includes doing everything I can to make sure Donald Trump -- the man who calls the January 6 insurrectionists who nearly took my life "patriots" and literally salutes them, is never elected president again. So today, I am asking you to do something important to make sure that never happens. Can you please use this link to make a contribution directly to Joe Biden's reelection campaign?

We can't let him return to the White House. Thank you for reading, Aquilino Gonell |
