John,
Americans remain deeply concerned about foreign interference in the 2020 election.
And they should be.
FBI Director Christopher Wray sums up the threat to our political system:
“What has pretty much continued unabated is the use of social media, fake news, propaganda, false personas, etc. to spin us up, pit us against each other, to sow divisiveness and discord, to undermine America’s faith in democracy...That is not just an election-cycle threat. It is pretty much a 365-day-a-year threat.”
It is more important than ever that Congress come together and protect our democracy. By passing five bipartisan election security bills supported by our “Don’t Mess With US” project, Democrats and Republicans can work to end foreign interference in our elections.
Read Meredith’s email below and then sign the petition to tell Congress you want secure elections now!
Thank you for supporting our democracy,
Nick Penniman

“Foreign interference in our elections is a national emergency. By passing the pieces of bipartisan legislation supported by Issue One’s 'Don’t Mess With US' project, Congress would strengthen America’s election security. Let’s send a strong message to foreign actors that they can’t mess with our elections."

John,
Russia, China, and Iran are known to have interfered in previous U.S. elections, and we know they’ll do it again unless we take action.
Earlier this week, we released a must-read report¹ which highlights five major loopholes in our election laws that leave us susceptible to future attacks by foreign actors.
We also outlined bipartisan steps — legislation supported by our “Don’t Mess With US” project — Congress could take to immediately protect our democracy and keep bad actors out of our elections.
Add your name: Tell Congress that we don’t want foreign actors interfering with our elections! Pass the “Don’t Mess With US” bills now.
These five bipartisan election security measures make it harder for foreign powers to spread disinformation and undermine our elections. Now is the time for commonsense, bipartisan legislation that protects the integrity of our political system.
Tell Congress to put country over party and send a strong message to foreign actors: Don’t Mess With US!
Thanks for all you do,
Meredith McGehee
