Hi there,
A new analysis from NBC News found that Capitol rioters “increased their political donations by about 75 percent” after the election.
In fact, “Trump and his aligned groups, including the Republican National Committee, raised $207.5 million in the 19 days after the election.”
That matters, a lot. Home security analysts warned that “Republicans were seeing the money roll in and knew that the messaging was working.”
And it is still working. Donald Trump, Ted Cruz, Kevin McCarthy, Josh Hawley, and their fellow Republicans are reviving the Big Lie to rake in millions with the support of the same people who stormed the Capitol on January 6.
They're outpacing us in ads, outreach, and candidate recruitment -- and they're using their lies about the 2020 election to justify a tsunami of voter suppression bills in state legislatures nationwide. If we don't act now, Republicans will suppress the vote and take back the Senate and the House in 2022 while Democrats are still patting themselves on the back.
Listen, we know you're one of the people in this country who care about safeguarding our democracy. You helped us turn out voters in record numbers in 2020 -- despite Trump's intimidation tactics and war on mail-in voting. You helped us win again in Georgia to attain our Senate majority. But we need your help now to fight back against the millions the GOP is raising off their Big Lie.
