The GOP is a party of traitors

On Friday, Senate Republicans used the filibuster for the first time during the Biden administration to block a bipartisan, independent commission from investigating the January 6 insurrection.

Dear MoveOn member,

On Friday, Senate Republicans used the filibuster for the first time during the Biden administration to block a bipartisan, independent commission from investigating the January 6 insurrection.1

These seditionists have no place in Congress.

Which is why MoveOn is spinning up a huge campaign to defeat the GOP seditionists at the ballot box in 2022. Our plan includes flooding the airwaves and social media with ads, putting up billboards in key states and districts, and running a massive grassroots get-out-the-vote campaign.

Andra, we don't take a dime of corporate cash. Which means all of our money comes from members like you.

Will you chip in $8 a month to fuel the effort to defeat the GOP seditionists in 2022?

Yes, I'll chip in.

No, I'm sorry, I can't make a monthly donation.

Rather than investigating the white supremacist mob that stormed the Capitol armed with guns, chemical weapons, and baseball bats, the GOP chose to block the investigation because they know the findings of the investigation would reveal just how badly Donald Trump, Ted Cruz, Josh Hawley, Marjorie Taylor Greene, and the entire right-wing media landscape helped fuel the attack.2

The GOP is choosing party over country, violence over peace, and fascism over democracy.

A party this dangerous and this dedicated to white supremacy and autocracy simply cannot gain control of Congress.

This isn't just about winning an election. It's about protecting our democracy.

Will you chip in $8 a month to help fund the TV ads, social media outreach, and on-the-ground grassroots organizing it will take to defeat the GOP in 2022?

Yes, I'll chip in.

No, I'm sorry, I can't make a monthly donation.

Democrats currently hold the slimmest congressional majorities in modern American history.3

In the Senate, Democrats hold power by the skin of their teeth—and if they lose even one seat in 2022, Mitch McConnell will again control the Senate.

And in the House, Democrats have a narrow five-seat majority. With all of the recent state-level GOP attacks on voting—plus the new gerrymandering that the GOP is doing across the country—Republicans are currently expected to win the House.4

We can't let it happen.

We're going to have to fight harder than ever to win in 2022. And we need to start laying the groundwork RIGHT NOW.

Will you donate $8 a month to help make sure we have the resources we need to stop the seditionist Republican Party from controlling Congress?

Yes, I'll chip in.

No, I'm sorry, I can't make a monthly donation.

Thanks for all you do.
