People For Member,

A Georgia campaign rally with Donald Trump for Republican Senators Kelly
Loeffler and David Perdue this month featured a ridiculous video that made
it appear as though Democratic Senate candidate Jon Ossoff was calling for
violence against Trump supporters – which, of course, he has never
done.^[1]

This example, coupled with Trump Republicans’ ongoing attacks on the 2020
election results and their promotion of wild conspiracy theories, is
beyond reckless … and Senators Loeffler and Perdue have been supporting
Trump and the Radical Right at every step.

All of this shows in stark terms what’s at stake in Georgia. Besides the
Senate majority being on the line, we cannot afford to have these two
Trump enablers remaining in the Senate where they will continue to further
Trump’s delusional conspiracy theories and hateful agenda even after he’s
out of office.

and hate with an immediate 3X-MATCHED donation to help People For’s
Emergency Georgia Runoff Fund WIN these Senate races! >>

Ever since it became clear that Donald Trump decisively lost the election,
he’s been attacking elections officials – regardless of their political
party – in swing states that he’s falsely claimed to have won. As they
have campaigned in advance of the January runoffs, both Loeffler and
Perdue have joined him in making these egregious attacks.

And the attacks have consequences. We’ve seen death threats, plots in
other states to storm state capitals and kidnap governors – which are
absolutely connected to the Trump Republican rhetoric in Georgia – and
even Georgia’s Republican election officials are pleading with Trump,
Loeffler, and Perdue to put an end to the incendiary accusations.^[2]

Georgia’s Republican secretary of state, Brad Raffensberger, and Gabriel
Sterling, another Georgia elections official, have both received death
threats in the wake of the general election. Sterling, a Republican whose
staff has also been threatened, pleaded with the White House and his
fellow Republicans at an emotional press conference earlier this month to
stop pushing reckless conspiracy theories. And he called out Senators
Loeffler and Perdue by name for their cowardly complicity in Trump and the
Far Right’s attacks.

"Someone's going to get hurt, someone's going to get shot, someone's going
to get killed," said Sterling.^[ [link removed] ]

The stakes couldn’t be higher. We’re running multiple ad campaigns across
various channels and mobilizing our activists in – and out – of Georgia
for calling, texting, and other voter contact programs.

But we need you with us … all the way through Election Day on January 5.
We have exactly 2 weeks left.

All donations to this effort will be 300%-MATCHED, tripling the power of
your impact!

[3]Please donate as generously as you can right now to win Georgia and
flip the Senate! >>

Thank you for staying with us through the last stages of this fight.
Together, we can and will take back the Senate from the Republicans’
dangerous majority.

In solidarity,

Sarah Medeiros, Digital Team
