Friend – the Senate's final vote to confirm Judge Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court is happening soon. I want to be clear: We cannot stop fighting this dangerous and illegitimate nomination until the last Senator casts a vote.
As a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, I questioned Judge Barrett myself about critical issues like healthcare, reproductive freedom, and gun violence prevention. She refused to give any real answers about her publicly extremist views, and her silence spoke volumes about how she would rule on these cases during this lifetime appointment.
But Mitch McConnell and Senate Republicans are forcing this sham process through before the American people have the chance to make their voices heard on Election Day, so this is your last chance to speak out before the final vote:
Opposing this confirmation isn't about politics. It's about taking a stand against dire threats to our healthcare; to our civil rights, including our reproductive freedoms; to our democracy; and to the very integrity of the Supreme Court itself. Judge Barrett's views threaten each and every one of these things, and remaining silent is not an option.
That's why I have been fighting since day one to make sure you have a voice during a moment that couldn't be more consequential for our country – and there's no way I'm backing down now. But time is running out before the vote, so I need you to take action before it's too late: Click here to automatically sign my petition demanding the Senate REJECT Trump's extremist Supreme Court nominee, Judge Barrett.
Thank you,
Dick
