Friend --
As we take into account the enormity of the past year, I would also like to reflect on what didn't happen in 2020.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell held hundreds of House-passed bills on his desk this year, with no intention of bringing them to the Senate floor -- creating what many called the McConnell "legislative graveyard."
Bills that would address, among many other important issues, voting rights, police reforms, climate change, and violence against women continue to sit on his desk, gathering dust.
Over the next week, we can do something about Mitch McConnell's perennial inaction. On January 5th, 2021, we can elect Jon Ossoff and Reverend Raphael Warnock to the Senate, flipping the whole chamber and finally giving Democrats the power to vote on many of these bills.
We have less than one week to get both of these excellent candidates the funds they need to flip Georgia's two Senate seats.
Before the end of the year, and just days before the runoff election, donate today to Jon Ossoff and Reverend Raphael Warnock to take back the Senate and finally pass laws the American people want and need.
Thank you for your generosity. Marcelle and I wish you a very happy new year.
Sincerely,
Patrick Leahy
U.S. Senator
