John,
Senate Republicans just voted to confirm Amy Coney Barrett to the U.S. Supreme Court. Unfortunately, the implications of a 6-3 right-wing majority on the court extend well beyond our access to healthcare.
Consider for a moment that Donald Trump has never stopped using the courts―including the U.S. Supreme Court―to appeal decisions in cases that require him to release his tax returns to prosecutors or to Congress. And, consider how Trump’s finances are potentially a threat to U.S. security―from his foreign bank accounts, including in China, to the $1 billion he owes―at least $400 million of which is owed to unknown sources, possibly foreign entities.[1]
The American people deserve to know who Trump owes money to. But, today’s vote virtually assures that the court will side with him in his continued attempts to hide his tax returns from the American people.
Donate today to hold Donald Trump and Senate Republicans accountable to the American people.
We will not stay silent as Senate Republicans pack the court against the will of the American people.
Thank you,

John,
On Monday, Mitch McConnell and the U.S. Senate are poised to vote on Amy Coney Barrett’s lifetime appointment to the U.S. Supreme Court―just one week before Election Day and with over 50 million Americans having already voted.
A 6-3 conservative majority on the court is a grave threat to the future of our country.
We’re fighting to make sure that every voter knows that if Senate Republicans successfully confirm Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court, Republicans will likely succeed in striking down the Affordable Care Act―kicking 23 million people off of their healthcare and threatening at least 54 million Americans with pre-existing conditions.[1][2]
The nation’s richest households making at least $3 million will receive an annual tax break of $198,000 if the ACA is repealed, and drug corporations will get a $2.8 billion tax cut every year.[3] This is all money currently used to fund healthcare for working families.
Donate today to hold Donald Trump, Mitch McConnell and Senate Republicans accountable to the American people. We will not stay silent in the midst of a massive Republican power grab that will have lasting effects on the American people and our democracy for generations to come.

Together, we’re fighting for a healthcare system and a tax system that protects working and low-income people.
