Friend,

Right now, our democracy is in rough shape. But there is a solution—and to
make it happen, we have to start flipping states blue.

That’s because states write the rules of national elections. Believe it or
not, your state leaders’ decisions can change the outcome of presidential
& congressional races.

[1]States Write the Rules of National Elections

Read on for a short, sweet explainer about how our democracy got flipped
upside down—and how we plan to fix it!

Today, the GOP is in charge

In 2010, Republicans poured money into state elections—and scooped up more
than a thousand seats once held by Dems. Now, the GOP controls 30 state
legislatures, and it's using that state-level power to make our democracy
weaker.

[2]Gerrymandering

One of the GOP’s favorite party tricks? Drawing rigged voting maps that
make it easier for Republicans to win. This is called “gerrymandering,”
and it’s a serious problem.

* Gerrymandering has given Republicans 16+ unearned seats in Congress
* And it’s silenced millions of American voters in the process
* The next round of redistricting starts in 2021. That gives us 2 years
to flip things around!

[5]Voting Rights

Another GOP pastime: chipping away at the right to vote—especially for
people of color.

* 70% of states have voter ID laws that make it harder to vote
* These laws target minorities, who usually vote for Dems
* Wisconsin’s ID law may have affected 300K+ people—and Trump won the
state by just 23K votes!

How Dems can restore our democracy

Since 2016, the Flippable community helped elect 79 Dems in pivotal state
districts. From helping pass automatic voter registration in Washington to
leading the fight for Medicaid expansion in Virginia, bringing healthcare
coverage to 400,000 people, these inspiring leaders are making a big
difference in their states. Our 2018 candidates’ victories have already
shifted the balance of power in Colorado, Minnesota, North Carolina, and
New Hampshire, where the GOP used its position to block progressive bills
and pass anti-democratic legislation.

We aren't slowing down. [ Act ]With your help, we plan to flip even more seats
in 2019. We’ll focus on game-changing states where the GOP’s unfair voting
laws have the biggest national impact.

Let’s seize our chance to build good government for the next 50 years.
Together, we can flip the script on the GOP—and bring power back to the
people!
