Friend – Republicans in Georgia just passed a sweeping new law that restricts voting rights and makes it harder for Black Georgians to cast their ballots.
Let's call this shameless GOP-led voter suppression what it is: an outright attack on our democracy.
The implications could be immediate: If we don’t rally to support Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-GA) right away, Republicans could suppress enough votes to flip his critical seat red in 2022 and hand the majority back to Mitch McConnell.
We’ve set an emergency fundraising goal to raise $10,000 for Sen. Warnock by midnight to make sure he can overcome these disgraceful voter suppression tactics and keep his seat. I promised Sen. Warnock and his campaign that this grassroots team would deliver, so I'm personally asking you to rush a donation now:
Sen. Warnock has only been in the Senate for a few months, but already he is making an enormous impact – delivering direct relief for working families, supporting efforts to speed up vaccine distribution, and providing irreplaceable moral leadership on the issue of voting rights.
But The New York Times is calling Sen. Warnock the most vulnerable incumbent Democrat in the entire country – which means there’s no more important place for grassroots Democrats to direct their support at this moment.
The stakes are too high to lose this seat. Democrats don't have a true majority right now – merely control. If even one blue seat flips red next November, Senate control falls right back into the hands of Mitch McConnell. We absolutely cannot afford for the GOP to pick up where they left off on their dangerous agenda.
With the GOP's megadonor machine ready to pour millions of dollars into Georgia to defeat Sen. Warnock, your grassroots support couldn't be more important. Every dollar will help his campaign hit the ground running in the steep uphill fight ahead, which is why I’m asking:
Thank you so much,
Dick
