The Democratic Party

Samuel, I hope you had a great Independence Day! I love the
4th of July. Whenever I can, I like to find my way to
someone's cookout, grab some BBQ marinated with Cajun hot
sauce, share some laughs with friends and neighbors, and
catch the fireworks.
But Independence Day is also a day of reflection for me. I
think about our Founding Fathers, our veterans and current
service members, abolitionists and suffragists, civil rights
leaders and activists, and everyone who has fought and bled
and sacrificed to protect the rights and freedoms we have
today.
And there's no more important right -- nothing more
fundamental to our independence -- than the right to vote.
It is the right we use to secure all other rights. Protecting
the right to vote is our most important responsibility -- and,
at this very moment, that right is under attack:

The Trump administration is hard at work -- spending our
tax money to investigate completely fictitious claims of
"voter fraud" (claims made by Donald Trump himself, and
backed up with absolutely no evidence).
Last week, this new commission requested every single
American's political party registration and voting history.
There's no doubt in my mind why: they're setting the stage
for a massive purge of the voter rolls, all in an attempt to
disenfranchise working people, people of color, students,
first-generation Americans, and seniors.
I don't have to tell you that Donald Trump has zero
credibility when it comes to protecting our rights or the
integrity of our elections. There's no telling how much
damage this latest scheme could do to our democracy.
We have to stand up and protect our access to the ballot box
right now -- we can't risk doing nothing and hoping for the
best, Samuel. Add your name if you're committed to protecting
our democracy:

Thanks for taking a stand,
Donna
