On Fox News, President Trump criticized vote-by-mail, saying “you’d never have a Republican elected in this country again,” if it was enacted.
He knows the more people that vote, the more his power is threatened.
But here’s the thing, vote-by-mail isn’t political. Our ballot box wasn’t built to protect one party’s power – it was built to protect the people.
Joe has been championing national vote-by-mail and is fighting to protect the USPS — will you chip in a contribution to our campaign today so we can keep up that fight?
Joe wants to make sure every American has the opportunity to vote-by-mail this November – because no one should have to choose between their health and their constitutional rights. Not this year, not ever.
But we can’t do that without a fully funded USPS, and Donald Trump knows that. That’s why he’s said that the “postal service is a joke,” threatened to veto any economic relief legislation that includes money to keep the USPS going, and just this week appointed a top Republican fundraiser as the new Postmaster General.
This new Postmaster General has given millions of dollars to the Republican Party – including to Donald Trump himself. This is more evidence of exactly how terrified Donald Trump is of vote-by-mail.
And maybe he should be, team... Joe joined Progressive Caucus Chairman Rep. Mark Pocan in writing a powerful op-ed demanding national vote-by-mail for the 2020 election that has already gotten thousands of shares on social media.
Will you help us capitalize on the momentum of this message by pitching in a contribution of $15 or $20 to our campaign today? By penning this article and leading the national charge on vote-by-mail, Joe is taking the fight directly to Donald Trump, and we need to make sure he has the resources to go full-throttle on protecting the postal service and implementing national vote-by-mail.
DONATE NOW
This shouldn’t be a partisan issue, friends. Our ballot box was built to protect the people's rights, and everyone should want Americans to be able to safely cast their vote. But President Donald Trump has made it plainly clear that that's simply not the case. So can we count on you to stand with Joe in fighting for the USPS so we can implement a national vote-by-mail system? Neither the health of our nation nor our democracy can weather this pandemic without it.
