The Democratic Party

Samuel --
When Republicans couldn't get 60 votes to confirm Neil
Gorsuch, they should have gotten a new nominee. Instead,
they changed the rules.
I'm with Tom -- it's high time to get Donald Trump's
Republican allies out of the Senate and elect a Democratic
majority that won't appease his anti-working family agenda:

I know 2018 sounds like it's a long way away, but the
reality is that this campaign has already started -- and I
guarantee the GOP is going to do everything they can to hold on
to their power.
In fact, just a few hours after Mitch McConnell invoked the
"nuclear option," Republicans announced that they raised $53
million in the first three months of 2017 for the Republican
National Committee and Donald Trump's re-election campaign
(yes, that's already happening too).
Some of that $53 million probably came in big checks from
billionaire donors and special interests, but a lot of it
was grassroots support. So if we're going to take on
Republicans and win, Democrats have to match it. We can't do
it without you, Samuel -- chip in $3 or more and let's take
back the Senate:

Subject: Republicans just went nuclear
Friend --
Senate Republicans just went nuclear. And the American people are
their collateral damage.
When the Senate gaveled in this morning, Neil Gorsuch did not have
the 60 votes needed to be confirmed to the Supreme Court. But rather
than changing the candidate and finding someone worthy to sit on the
Court -- someone who isn't indebted to corporations or billionaire backers,
someone who believes in protecting the rights of workers, women, and
LGBT people -- they decided to invoke the "nuclear option" and confirmed
him to a lifetime appointment on a 51-vote Republican majority.
If you're asking yourself "can they really do that?" -- the answer is yes,
they can and they just did.
Frankly, I've had enough of Republicans abusing the power of their
majority -- so let's throw them out. Pitch in $10 or whatever you can to help
elect Democrats and take back the Senate. I know we can do it, but we
need to get started right now:
