PFAW Member,
As President Trump and other high-ranking GOP officials have now tested
positive for COVID-19, Senate Republicans are undeterred in their haste to
confirm Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court – Mitch McConnell stated
just this morning they would proceed "full steam ahead."
Even as the COVID-19 virus now strikes dangerously close to home for GOP
officials, they are wasting no time in rushing to confirm a nominee who
wouldn't hesitate to strip away health care coverage for millions of
people if confirmed to the Supreme Court.
We can’t let Senate Republicans put our lives and our rights at risk for
such a blatant partisan power grab. There's too much at stake.

process until the 2021 inauguration – or we’ll make them pay at the ballot
box. >>
Last week, Trump officially nominated Amy Coney Barrett to fill the seat
vacated by the passing of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Barrett has a
deeply troubling judicial record that indicates she’d be a severe threat
to health care, especially for people with preexisting conditions, as well
as to other vital protections and fundamental rights.
Confirming an anti-health care, far-right justice to the Supreme Court in
the midst of a pandemic would be catastrophic for millions of people
across the country. COVID-19 is now one of the most widely spread
preexisting conditions in the world – and the protections provided by the
Affordable Care Act could be stripped away as early as this upcoming
Supreme Court term.
This confirmation would put health care and reproductive rights at grave
risk and even has the potential to turn back the clock on voting rights,
racial equity, rights for LGBTQ Americans, environmental protections, and
more! Multiple polls confirm that a majority of Americans do not want a
new Supreme Court justice to be confirmed until after the inauguration of
our next president.
[ [link removed] ]Demand that Republican senators respect the will of the People and wait
until after the 2021 inauguration to consider a Supreme Court nominee to
fill Justice Ginsburg's seat! >>
Tell Senate Republicans that you're ready to hold them accountable if they
betray our rights and our democracy.
Thank you for joining us in this fight; we’ll be by your side every step
of the way.
Thanks for all that you do,
– Zach, PFAW
