Hi friend --

David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler are both running for Senate in Georgia. They face special elections against Democrats Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock, respectively. If both Democrats don’t win today, then the Senate will stay under GOP control. After the four years of GOP domination we’ve just had, we can’t let that happen.

Perdue and Loeffler -- along with Georgia’s Republican Governor Brian Kemp -- backed Donald Trump’s calls for a “signature audit.” (Just one of the many ways Trump tried to overturn the 2020 election results even though Joe Biden won multiple recounts in the state.)

That shows that they were willing to try and steal the state for Trump – and they certainly won’t hesitate to try and steal their own races if today’s results are close. After all, Governor Kemp’s legacy of voter suppression is exactly the reason Stacey Abrams lost her race in GA -- and why she’s been working to oppose Kemp and his antidemocratic tactics ever since.

This will be the ultimate test of how far we’ve come, friend. What’s encouraging is that more Democrats seem to be paying attention to Georgia now than ever before. What’s worrying is just how much power the Republicans running the state wield -- and just how willing they are to use it to keep Democrats out of office, even when those Democrats win their elections.

The races in Georgia will determine the future of the country. They will decide if Joe Biden has a Senate that’s willing to work with him or if he must contend with gridlock even worse than what we saw under Obama. We’d like to say we’re doing everything we can to support the candidates fighting to flip GA and flip the Senate. We’d like to say we’re laying the groundwork for a picture-perfect Biden administration -- but frankly, right now, we could be doing more.

That’s why we’re asking you. We’re a grassroots-funded organization. All we can do is tell you what we think is important and do our best to direct our resources toward solutions. You’re the one who decides just how plentiful those resources are and how powerful those solutions will be. You’ve done so much already. But we could really use your help now.

 

Please, will you chip in what you can in order to show the Republicans in GA that they have a real fight on their hands? Donate to show your support for the good work Stacey Abrams has done, to stand with the Democrats running to flip the Senate, and to give Joe Biden the best allies he could ask for in his upcoming presidency. If we fail, the GOP will control the legislative agenda -- and after the four years we just had, there’s nothing we’d hate to see more.

 

 

Thanks for doing everything in your power to make sure this country truly has a progressive majority. It’s what the American people deserve.
