Friend,

First, Mitch McConnell stole a Supreme Court seat from President Obama, saying that February was too close to an election to fill the seat.

Now, after Ruth Bader Ginsburg passed away, and after thousands of ballots have already been cast in the 2020 election, he’s promising to ram through another hard-right, Kavanaugh-esque Justice for a popular vote-losing President.

This is a constitutional crisis. If McConnell replaces Ginsburg, then Presidents Bush and Trump―who each ascended to the presidency after losing the popular vote―will have appointed a Supreme Court majority.

But Democrats can't respond to this generational catastrophe with merely tweets and charges of hypocrisy. If that’s the best we can do, America is going to be permanently under the thumb of an authoritarian white minority.

We’re rushing polling into the field to show Democrats that the American people want them to honor RGB’s dying wishes and fight for our democracy. Chip in today to fund this emergency poll!

We’re already in the field with the poll so that we can show Democrats the results early next week. We are trusting that our movement will get us over the finish line.

Thanks,

Sean McElwee
