Hi,
Healthcare is on the ballot in November.
Today, Trump announced he will try to push through the nomination of Amy Coney Barrett to the U.S. Supreme Court. Despite overwhelming public support for voters to have a say in the next Supreme Court justice, Donald Trump blew through precedent, the so-called 'McConnell Rule' and Ruth Bader Ginsburg's own dying wish to see the next president select her replacement.
If Trump is successful, healthcare will be dismantled for millions of Texans while millions more will lose protections for pre-existing conditions in the middle of the deadliest pandemic in United States history. This is dead wrong.
Donald Trump is losing. He knows he is losing. Mitch McConnell knows they are losing. So they are doing anything they can to cling to power. The people should choose the next Supreme Court justice, not Donald Trump and his Senate lapdogs like John Cornyn and Ted Cruz.
We must elect Joe Biden and Kamala Harris to ensure that the rights and livelihoods of so many are protected. We must organize, fight, and win -- block by block, neighborhood by neighborhood.

In the meantime, we must urge the Senate not to confirm Trump's tainted selection. Four years ago, John Cornyn and Ted Cruz both adamantly stated that a Supreme Court nominee should not be selected during a presidential election year. If they go back on their word and rush through a nominee, we must fight them at every single turn.
We must hold these elected officials accountable, and in Trump and Cornyn's case, make this nomination hurt at the ballot box.
It's time for a Supreme Court that does not represent the minority party's views. It's time for a Supreme Court that upholds the law and ensures that millions of Americans have the rights' they are guaranteed in our Constitution.
Now is not the time to give up. Now is the time to keep going:
Don't stop fighting,
