Dear Friend,
On Inauguration Day last week, Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock were sworn in, giving Democrats the majority in the U.S. Senate.
But Mitch McConnell is already planning to strangle the entire Biden agenda before it's even begun.
COVID-19 relief. Immigration reform. Health care. Tax reform. Voting rights. McConnell wants to stop it all unless Democrats shut him down and end the filibuster.
Will you donate to help stop Mitch McConnell from putting the Senate in gridlock for two more years?
If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:
The first days of Biden’s administration have been historic. The president has reentered us into the Paris Climate Accord, returned collective bargaining power to federal workers, stopped the U.S.’s withdrawal from the World Health Organization, and ended the Muslim ban.1
But if we are going to see other promises Biden made come to fruition, like coronavirus relief funds, $15 minimum wage, and green jobs for infrastructure, Congress must pass the legislation needed without waiting weeks or months in vain for Republicans to come around.
None of that has a chance of happening if McConnell uses the filibuster to hold up legislation, like he did with more than 400 bills in the last year alone.2
We cannot afford to wait any longer. We cannot let Senate Democrats allow McConnell to undermine progress. Justice delayed is justice denied.
Will you donate to help convince the Senate to kill the filibuster?
Thanks for standing with us.
Robert Cruickshank,
