with the new Speaker of the House's track record
John,
Today, we're reaching out with a crucial call to action. The new Speaker of the House, Rep. Mike Johnson, has a track record that deeply concerns us, and we believe it should concern every American who values democracy, equality, and human rights too.
Real quick, will you help Summer fight against this kind of Republican extremism by donating $5 right now or whatever you can afford? Every single contribution will make sure Summer has the resources to counter Republicans' efforts to strip us of our basic rights.
Mike Johnson has consistently shown a disturbing stance on many issues that matter most to the heart of our nation. He's voiced that doctors who provide abortion care should face ‘imprisonment at hard labor’ and has been on a relentless mission to ban abortion entirely, effectively stripping people of their reproductive rights.
He is so keen on taking away these rights that he even received an A+ rating on a national anti-abortion scorecard!
On top of that, his opposition to LGBTQ+ rights is also well-documented, and he's even expressed a desire to reverse the hard-fought right for people to be able to marry who they love.
Mike was also a key figure in the scheme to overturn the 2020 election and has consistently aligned himself with other MAGA extremists like Marjorie Taylor Greene & Lauren Boebert.
One of the most alarming aspects of his leadership is his stance on gun safety. Johnson, a favorite of the NRA, has a history of voting against critical gun safety laws that can save lives, including the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act and the Protecting our Kids Act. His position as Speaker makes it more challenging for any meaningful gun safety legislation to see the light of day.
The NRA, who previously featured children holding assault weapons in their ads, was even one of the first ones to congratulate Mike on his big win.
Here at Team Summer Lee, we are 100% committed to challenging this extremism and ensuring that kids in classrooms are safe, our democracy is respected, and the rights of every American are protected. But we need your support. Your donation will help amplify our voice, mobilize supporters, and counter the radical right-wing agenda Johnson brings with him as speaker.
