John,
Senate Republicans are starting to feel the heat. Momentum is building for
increasing the already-passed $600 stimulus checks to $2,000.
The House has passed legislation increasing the payments to $2,000.
President Trump is calling for it. Even Republican Senators Marco Rubio
and Josh Hawley say they’ll vote for it.
Now, Bernie Sanders is ready to play hard ball.
“Let me be clear: If Senator McConnell doesn’t agree to an up or down vote
to provide the working people of our country a $2,000 direct payment,
Congress will not be going home for New Year’s Eve.” - Senator Bernie
Sanders
Bernie will filibuster the Senate’s override of the defense bill veto in
order to force a floor vote on $2,000 stimulus checks.
[ [link removed] ]We can force Mitch McConnell's hand, but only if we stand together. If
Senate Democrats stand united with Bernie to block the defense bill veto
override until there’s an up or down vote on the House bill, we’ll win.

Mitch McConnell’s wall is already beginning to crack.
After months of opposing any kind of stimulus package, now the Republican
senators from Georgia, David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler, say they’ll
support $2,000 stimulus checks.
The tide is turning, and with enough support, we can actually force
McConnell to fold.
That would mean delivering real help to millions of Americans who are
struggling to pay their bills and put food on the table.

Sanders’ filibuster to block the defense bill veto override until the
Senate gets an up or down vote on the House bill to increase stimulus
checks to $2,000. People need help, and we need to fight for it >>
