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.

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. Add your name now >>

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.

Add your name right now to tell Senate Democrats to stand with Bernie 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 >>

Thank you for raising your voice today,

— Charles
