Friend,
Before recess, Senate Democrats tried to take meaningful action on COVID-19 -- but Senate Republicans blocked each and every measure:
Funding for state, local, and tribal relief?
"I therefore respectfully object." - Florida Senator Rick Scott
Funding for COVID-19 testing and tracing?
"I object." - Tennessee Senator Lamar Alexander
Support for absentee voting ahead of elections during an emergency?
"I object." - Missouri Senator Roy Blunt
Support for education and child care during COVID-19 stay-at-home orders?
"I object." - Utah Senator Mike Lee
Boosting SNAP benefits to support needy families?
"I respectfully object." - Kansas Senator Pat Roberts
Legislation to protect those in nursing homes during this pandemic?
"I object." - Wisconsin Senator Ron Johnson
Emergency assistance for renters?
"I object." - Idaho Senator Mike Crapo
The American people object to the Senate getting nothing done under Republican leadership. And they're ready for change.
We can make progress for all Americans if we flip the Senate this fall: Donate $5 or more to fund the fight ahead.
Thanks,
Team Schumer
