[ [link removed] ]Wisconsin voters risk health waiting on line in face masks



PFAW Member,

Republicans know that voters are coming for them … and they’ll do anything
to keep them from the polls.

They're using the pandemic to suppress the vote and fighting against
solutions like vote by mail, no-excuse absentee voting, and spread-out
early voting to make voting more accessible amid the public health crisis.
AND their fighting to block critical funds for election security.

Perhaps even more cynical and ruthless, they also trying to create chaos
in key battleground states by encouraging their own supporters to violate
life-saving social distancing policies and stay-at-home orders!

Trump and Republicans are playing politics with people’s lives, and
clearly care more about cementing their grip on power than protecting the
public and ending the pandemic.

We can’t let them get away with it! But we need to raise another $9,721
before midnight to stop them, so we're scrambling to 3X-MATCH every online
donation until the deadline!

ALL DONATIONS TRIPLE-MATCHED!

According to Politico:

“Senior administration officials and Trump advisers say the level of
hostility between the president and governors will probably only increase
in the coming days, in part because Trump sees so much political
opportunity in stoking those divisions during his reelection campaign.
Governors have become his latest political foil, along with China and the
World Health Organization, and he's trying to bully and scapegoat them
amid his administration's response to the pandemic."

New York Magazine reporter David Wallace-Wells writes:

“The federal government has effectively erected a blockade – like that
which the Union used to choke off the supply chains of the Confederacy
during the Civil War – to prevent delivery of critical medical equipment
to states desperately in need.”

And it’s not just the Trump administration! Republicans in Congress are
trying to block relief money from going to the states in order to force
them to consider opening businesses and ending stay at home orders (since
the precipitous drop in sales tax revenue is state governments)!

If you're outraged by this, you are right to be. But we can fight back.

Let us know you're with us with a 3X-MATCHED donation today, before the
match funds expire:

It’s become clear that to Republicans, everything is an opportunity for a
power grab – even an unprecedented public health crisis.

You just saw the depths to which Republicans will sink earlier this month
in Wisconsin, where Republican state lawmakers insisted on making voters
put their health and the health of others on the line to turn out and cast
in-person ballots. Right-wing justices on the Wisconsin Supreme Court and
the U.S. Supreme Court – in a decision written by Brett Kavanaugh – sided
with Republicans against Wisconsin voters.

But guess what? Wisconsin voters DID turn out. And the Right Wing LOST the
very election they were trying to rig by suppressing the vote!

People are actually risking their health, and perhaps their lives, to cast
their ballots against Trump Republicans, and that sort of motivation on
our side is a NIGHTMARE for the GOP.

We’re fighting for voters all across the country and working with partners
in key battleground states to recruit an army of organizers and volunteers
to talk to voters directly about how to cast absentee or mail-in ballots,
take advantage of early voting, or generally find the best options for
them to ensure their votes are counted based on what voting methods are
available in each state.

We’re talking about one-on-one conversations – by phone, text, email, and
video chat, during the current social distancing – and real
relationship-building, to make sure voters are getting the information and
encouragement they need, from people they trust, to request, properly
complete, and return their absentee and mail-in ballots or take advantage
of the safe and secure in-person voting options available. And with the
number of voters we need to reach, this work is happening NOW and needs to
KEEP happening all the way through Election Day.
