John—
While millions of people are unemployed and struggling to make ends meet in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell is only laser-focused on one thing: confirming anti-choice judges.1
There are so many fights happening right now, but this one is especially important. Federal judges receive lifetime appointments, and the Trump administration is filling these posts at breakneck speed — thanks to the president's cronies in the Senate, nearly 200 of Trump’s judges have been confirmed to date.2
It's up to us — people like you and me, who refuse to let anti-choice extremists turn back the clock on our rights — to put a stop to the Trump-McConnell judicial disaster. And that starts with flipping the Senate and voting Trump out of office this November.
We're mobilizing a nationwide campaign to protect our courts by electing candidates committed to protecting and expanding reproductive freedom — and kicking out those who are trying to take our rights away. Make an urgent gift of $15 to NARAL Pro-Choice America PAC now to power this campaign.
During a recent appearance on a conservative radio show, McConnell made his priorities clear: “My motto for the year is ‘leave no vacancy behind’...That hasn’t changed. The pandemic will not prevent us from achieving that goal.”3
But it’s not just McConnell. In fact, Republicans have been playing a long-game to take over our courts since the 1970s. Their focus on the judiciary is intended to ensure that even when they’re voted out of power in Congress or the White House, conservative judges will advance their out-of-touch agenda by siding with Republican challenges to progressive legislation — from enabling voter suppression to trying to ban abortion.4,5
To stop this judicial disaster, we need to put both Donald Trump and Mitch McConnell out of a job. Please, don't wait — make your gift of $15 to NARAL Pro-Choice America PAC now.
Here at NARAL Pro-Choice America, we're doing everything we can between now and November 3rd to make sure candidates who champion reproductive freedom win. We’ve already endorsed hundreds of candidates, and we're talking to voters, organizing virtually, running ads — whatever it takes — to beat the extremists trying to take away our rights.
We can win. But it won't be easy, and the resources we raise today will determine how big we can go before Election Day. Make an urgent gift of $15 to NARAL Pro-Choice America PAC to fight back against Trump and McConnell's attempts to stack our courts with anti-choice ideologues.
Thank you, again, for being a part of this movement.
Sincerely,
Ilyse Hogue
President, NARAL Pro-Choice America
