Indivisibles,
We’ve got some BIG Payback Project news: [ [link removed] ]we’re adding Senator Dan
Sullivan, Alaska’s other Trump-sympathizing senator, to our list of
targets for 2020. While Alaskans will have to put up with Senator Lisa
Murkowski for another two years, we have a chance to rid the Senate of one
of Trump’s biggest enablers this year!

In case you haven’t plugged in yet to the Payback Project -- this is our
plan to make sure Republican senators are held accountable for their
actions, their votes, and their enabling of Donald Trump. Even if we win
the presidency, everything we want to accomplish is dead on arrival
without a Democratic Senate -- climate action, health care expansion,
immigration reform -- all of it. That’s why we started the Payback Project
-- to take back the Senate and our democracy. [ [link removed] ]Plug in now by clicking
here, and keep reading for why we added Senator Dan Sullivan from Alaska
to our list of targets.
There’s rising grassroots energy in Alaska to defeat Sullivan, and now the
race is getting competitive. We’re adding Alaska to the Payback Project
because we have to take every chance we’re given to defeat Trump and save
our democracy. And now Alaska Indivisibles are joining other Payback
groups across the country in the effort to ensure our Senate isn’t under
Mitch McConnell’s control in 2021.
Sullivan has been in office for only one term, and yet he’s used the
majority of that time rubber-stamping the policies of Donald Trump and
Mitch McConnell, instead of listening to his constituents. [ [link removed] ]He’s voted
with Trump’s agenda over 90% of the time -- despite the fact that most of
his votes hurt Alaskans.
Sullivan has failed Alaskans on health care -- he’s repeatedly voted to
weaken the Affordable Care Act while Alaskans pay more than double the
national average for health care costs. Sullivan has voted to confirm
Trump officials who deny the science of climate change -- decisions that
will negatively impact the lives and livelihoods of Alaskans for
generations to come. And most recently, Sullivan stood by Trump as he
threatened to block an emergency loan to the US Postal Service unless the
agency increased its shipping rates by 400%. This move would
disproportionately impact rural Alaskans who rely solely on USPS to pick
up and deliver the mail, and many of whom receive checks, benefits, and
lifesaving prescriptions through USPS.
To put it simply, Dan Sullivan doesn’t care about Alaskans -- he only
cares about appeasing Trump and McConnell.
Sullivan joins a group of 11 other vulnerable Republican senators: the
worst of the worst. They’ve covered up Trump's crimes, excused his
corruption, and looked the other way as he abused taxpayer dollars for his
own personal gain. These officials have abandoned their constituents while
COVID-19 continues to kill thousands every day. They’ve lost the public’s
trust -- and now we’re going to make sure they lose public office.
With less than 60 days until the election, we need support from people in
every state to win this monumental fight. Here's what you can do:
* If you’re in a target state, [ [link removed] ]join a local group and work to raise
awareness with your neighbors and communities about your incumbent
target.
* If you’re not in a target state, [ [link removed] ]sign up at paybackproject.org to
help Indivisibles text voters in Payback states and get voters
prepared to cast their ballots this
year.
* And if you're fired up and want to help Alaskans elect a senator
who'll actually show up and represent them instead of Trump,
[ [link removed] ]consider donating to the Payback Project.
The balance of the Senate is going to be decided with elections like this
one, fueled by grassroots volunteers talking to voters about getting the
real representation they deserve. Join the fight -- together we’ve got
this.
In solidarity,
Indivisible Team
