PFAW Member,
Trump will officially announce his nominee to fill Justice Ginsburg’s seat tomorrow, but CNN is now reporting that his pick is Amy Coney Barrett, whom Trump had previously appointed to 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.
We know a lot about this nominee. We know she passes Trump's anti-health care litmus test with flying colors and would surely vote to end protections for people with preexisting conditions... even in the middle of a global pandemic. (And the ripping away of millions of Americans’ health care could come soon, as the Supreme Court is set to hear a challenge to the Affordable Care Act in its upcoming term that starts next month.)
She’s also a nominee whose confirmation – giving Trump his THIRD Supreme Court justice and the Far Right a 6-3 majority on the Court – could spell the end of Roe v. Wade and countless environmental protections, and imperil voting rights and social safety net programs like Social Security and Medicare.
Amy Coney Barrett has been the Radical Right’s preferred nominee ever since she became an appellate court judge and was seen as a contender for the Supreme Court.
The Far Right will be more fired up than ever to back this nominee … Anti-choice groups have already launched a “Reverse Roe” tour in Senate battleground states…
But, with your help, PFAW is fighting back.
We’re already running ads and holding events in Senate battleground states.
We’re gearing up for an INTENSE fight to defeat Trump’s nominee and defend RBG’s legacy and focusing our attention on key Republican senators who are in tight races so, if Trump and Republicans do hijack this Supreme Court seat before the People have their say in the election, we’re going to save the future of our Court by VOTING THEM OUT and replacing both this president and Mitch McConnell’s Senate majority.
There’s never been a more urgent time to get in the fight and give your full support to these efforts!
All donations will be 3X-MATCHED!
Please chip in anything you can to save RBG’s legacy and STOP Trump and McConnell!>>
Justice Ginsburg’s legacy was about defending Americans’ rights, our democracy, and the constitutional values that make America America…
President Obama’s legacy was to get health care for tens of millions of Americans who had previously been uninsured, including millions with preexisting conditions…
Trump wants HIS legacy to be that he SHREDDED both RBG’s and Obama’s! And he wants to do it by ramming through a Supreme Court confirmation before the People have their say and the next president is installed.
Trump and Mitch McConnell have already reshaped our Supreme Court with Trump’s two confirmed nominees… and Trump has already done so much damage to our country, dividing Americans at every opportunity, stirring up racism and hate for his own political gain, and using his office in the most corrupt ways imaginable to enrich himself and his cronies.
We can’t let his most long-lasting and far-reaching legacy be that he remade the Supreme Court in his image and laid waste to a century of American’s hard-won fundamental rights!
Join us! Donate whatever you can right now to this fight and your donation will be 300%-MATCHED>>
Thank you for everything you do.
Let’s fight to win. Because America itself is at stake.
-- Ben Jealous, President
