It’s
President Barack Obama.
I’m reaching out to you today with a message I hoped I’d never have to
deliver.
In a stunning decision, the Supreme Court has effectively gutted the
Voting Rights Act – striking down one of our nation’s bedrock laws
protecting free and fair elections for every American, regardless of race.
This has allowed Republican-controlled state legislatures to move at an
alarming pace to dismantle districts where minority racial groups make up
the majority of voters – all to provide a boost to the GOP’s chances of
retaining the House majority in this year’s midterms.
[ [link removed] ]I’m asking you today to stand tall in the face of these attacks on our
democracy. The DCCC is on the front lines fighting back against this
Republican attempt to dismantle multi-racial democracy across the country.
We must elect a Democratic House majority this year to defend everything
we hold dear as Americans. Can I count on you to make your first contribution
ever to the DCCC today? If you care deeply about taking
back the House majority for Democrats, there’s never been a more important
moment to give.

When
former Congressman John Lewis and Civil Rights leaders bravely led
marchers across the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, Alabama – where they
were brutally attacked on 'Bloody Sunday' – they did it to demand equal
voting rights for Black citizens across the South.
The outcry and shock prompted President Johnson and Congress to pass the
landmark legislation that is the Voting Rights Act – moving us closer to
the promise of democracy for millions of disenfranchised Americans.
But,
the rights and freedoms fought for then are now under
threat.
As long as the Republican Party maintains total control of government,
generations of hard-fought progress hang in the balance.
[ [link removed] ]That’s why I’m asking you to chip in an urgent donation of
$3 to the DCCC today. They will need every single person on
this team to step up in order to combat both the GOP’s gerrymandering
scheme and the surge of money flowing to those who support the dismantling
of our democracy. A Democratic House majority will be the first line of
defense – and first step forward – in protecting our democratic system.
Can I count on you to chip in $3 today? The amount doesn’t
matter – what matters is you stepped up to make a difference at this
critical moment.

donation will go through immediately:
