Dear MoveOn member,

To be quite honest, we didn't expect President Joe Biden to be this bold.

But his blueprint for building back in the wake of the COVID-19
pandemic—unveiled this week in his address to Congress—is the biggest and
most progressive plan to invest in American jobs and families since the
New Deal.

President Biden's plan would provide Americans with paid family and
medical leave, protect our planet, create green jobs to rebuild our
infrastructure, and do much, much more.^1

And he would make it all happen by finally requiring big corporations and
the very wealthiest Americans to pay their fair share.^2

But the right-wing attack on the plan was swift and full of lies—and will
only escalate in the coming days. John, that's why we need to
fight back.

Our team is preparing to launch a big, new TV ad campaign to hold
Republicans in Congress accountable for opposing President Biden's plan.



But we need to recruit 1,000 new recurring donors by the end of this
weekend to get the ads on the air. Will you chip in $5 a
month to help keep these ads, and ads like them, on the air for as long as
it takes to pass our progressive agenda?

[ [link removed] ]Yes, I'll chip in monthly.

[ [link removed] ]No, I'm sorry, I can't make a monthly donation.



President Biden's plan is highly popular with Americans across the
country—and across party lines—and yet, Republicans are still bowing down
to their corporate and billionaire interests rather than supporting a
policy that would lift their constituents out of poverty, boost our
economy, and provide a road map for a better future.^3

The most recent polling shows that an overwhelming 70% of Americans
support components of the plan, and 64% support a plan to raise taxes on
corporations and the ultra-rich to pay for it.^4

These are Americans in every district, in every state. Rural Americans,
urban, Black, white, young, old, Republican, and Democrat.

Our ads highlight this incredible public support for the plan and call out
Senators Rubio, Paul, and Johnson, and the self-proclaimed Grim Reaper
Mitch McConnell, who are turning their backs on their constituents by
refusing to support these popular and essential policies in favor of doing
the bidding of their billionaire friends and corporate backers.



We won't stand for it. John, will you help us get these ads on
the air in Kentucky, Utah, Wisconsin, Florida, and Alaska to remind these
Republican senators' constituents that the GOP is choosing the elite over
the essential? Chip in $5 a month so we can keep up the
pressure for as long as it takes.

[ [link removed] ]Yes, I'll chip in monthly.

[ [link removed] ]No, I'm sorry, I can't make a monthly donation.



Republicans in Congress have one goal and one goal only: Block all
legislation proposed by President Biden by refusing to even work with
Democrats to find compromises and spouting lies on Fox News and right-wing
outlets claiming that the Biden administration is doing nothing to help
Americans.

That was their one and only plan when President Barack Obama was in the
White House, and it is their one and only plan now.

We need to break through their lies and make sure that their constituents
know the truth—and that is exactly what our ads will do.



Help us get our ads on the air, and keep them up, by chipping
in $5 monthly.

[ [link removed] ]Yes, I'll chip in monthly.

[ [link removed] ]No, I'm sorry, I can't make a monthly donation.



Thanks for all you do.

Want to support our work? Mitch McConnell and the Senate GOP are using the
filibuster to obstruct bold progressive legislation on everything from
democracy reform and voting rights to gun control and the climate crisis.
We can't let them get away with it. We need to end the racist
filibuster—now. But we can do so only with your support.

Will you chip in to fuel the fight to end the racist and undemocratic
filibuster?





[ [link removed] ]Yes, I'll chip in $5 a month.
