This is a fight we CANNOT afford to lose!

Andra, as the days grow shorter, I've been thinking about everything that's at stake for us and our children in the upcoming elections. And that’s why I’m reaching out today to ask you to chip in to help elect Democratic Senate candidates. |
We have some terrific candidates, and we have a real chance to flip the Senate! But the DSCC is facing a critical fundraising deadline on Wednesday, and that’s why I’m asking you personally to make a donation of $250 today, or whatever you can afford. Every dollar really does make a difference! |
I could spend all day listing the reasons we MUST flip the Senate this year, but here are three of the most urgent reasons why I donated to the DSCC, and why I hope you will, too: |
- After the passing of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, the future of the Supreme Court dropped into the waiting hands of Mitch McConnell. When President Obama nominated Merrick Garland in 2016, McConnell wouldn’t even schedule a hearing, let alone a vote -- which Judge Garland could have won! Mitch’s rationale was that it was an election year.
Well, THIS is an election year, but because it’s Trump’s nominee, Mitch’s 2016 rationale is out the window.
|
- If we fail to deliver a Democratic Senate, the bold, progressive agenda of, God willing, President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, will be STONEWALLED by Mitch McConnell and his band of fall-in-line, obstructionist Senate Republicans.
|
- McConnell has refused to bring more than 400 House-passed bills to the floor, including the Heroes Act to help Americans get through this overwhelming time. Bringing bills to the floor is Mitch’s JOB!
|
Andra, we need to remind Mitch and his out-of-tune band of Republicans that We The People have the power to make them pay for their failure to do their JOB by electing a decisive Democratic Senate Majority! |
This is a fight we truly CANNOT afford to lose, and that’s why I’m asking you to pitch in. |
The folks at the DSCC tell me they’re $167,460 short of their end-of-quarter fundraising goal, and they need an immediate surge of resources to flip the Senate. |
This may be a difficult time, but please give whatever you can afford right now. We NEED to fight back, and the need is even more urgent because early voting is already underway in some states. |
The DSCC is a vital part of the effort to save our country from Mitch McConnell's dangerous Republican majority. I’m proud to support this organization, and I hope you'll join me: With just days to go until the Wednesday end-of-quarter deadline, will you donate $250 or more now to flip the Senate? |
|
From the bottom of my heart, thank you. Don’t give up. It will get better, and we will get through this.
