Friend,
Dean's been committed to The For the People Act from the day he entered Congress.
It was the first bill he ever cosponsored, and its provisions are as important today as they were in 2018. In the face of reprehensible attempts to suppress voters and insidious foreign interference campaigns, the health of our democracy is as urgent today as it was when he first ran for office -- it's a critical step in the right direction.
That's why we're hoping you can join the call to make it a law as soon as possible: Tell the Senate to take up this critical legislation and build a more perfect union for all of us. Add your name to support The For the People Act right now.
Thanks,
Richard

Subject: Add your name: Tell the Senate to pass The For the People Act
Friend,
Last week, I was proud to vote for the people.
That's because the House voted to pass HR 1 -- The For the People Act -- along with 5 of my amendments to secure our elections, tackle corruption, reduce the influence of dark money, eliminate partisan gerrymandering, amplify the impact of small-dollar donors, and protect the rights of voters, not politicians.
Once again the House is leading the way on progress for the American people, and now it's time for the Senate to act. Patriots don't suppress and disenfranchise legal voters, they expand options and help increase participation. So my question for GOP senators is this: Are you a patriot?
Join me in calling on the Senate to support and pass The For the People Act as soon as possible -- add your name next to mine right now.
I was proud to cosponsor HR 1 as my first bill in Congress -- and since 2018 I've authored five amendments that have been included in the final bill.
- The Voter NOTICE Act would counteract disinformation and increase participation by ensuring that voters are made aware of emergency changes to election rules.
- The FIREWALL Act would prevent foreign meddling in American elections by strengthening safeguards around online advertising.
- And three additional amendments which would bolster the independence, bipartisanship, and diversity of the Federal Election Commission and reinforce ethics standards for Executive Branch officials by closing a loophole that allows them to run a lobbying shop as soon as they leave public service.
They're all part of what makes HR 1 so strong, and so incredibly important to preserving and protecting our democracy. I hope you'll join me in showing your support -- and calling on the Senate to act now.
Add your name next to mine to tell the Senate to pass HR 1 now, and commit to building a more perfect union for all Americans.
Thank you,
Dean Phillips
