Remember when we had a chance to get rid of the filibuster and enshrine abortion rights into federal law by codifying Roe?

That opportunity was sunk by 2 people — Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema — but neither one is running for re-election.

That means that if we elect Ruben Gallego in Arizona and defend other vulnerable Democratic senators like Jon Tester and Sherrod Brown, we’ll finally have a true majority willing to do away with the filibuster.

That sounds like a damn good reason to leave it all on the field, John.

Winning in battlegrounds like Arizona, Ohio, and Montana is going to be extremely difficult, but well worth the effort if we succeed. Will you chip in $25 toward our Defend the Senate Fund ASAP to start laying the groundwork today?

We know what we need to do, so let’s get to work.
