Friend --

In 11 states and counting, the GOP is advancing its systematic, intentional effort to keep Americans from voting. 

I’m fighting hard alongside my colleagues in the Senate to put a stop to this by passing the For The People Act, and failure is not an option. So I need your help to show there’s massive public support for federal law protecting voting rights.

Here’s why that’s especially urgent: A recent leaked video from a conservative dark money group showed them bragging about working with Republicans to systematically restrict the right to vote state by state. The footage confirmed that they even drafted the legislation in some cases! 

“We did it quickly and we did it quietly,” they said in the leaked footage.

Quickly and quietly is how you do something despicable. It’s how you know that what’s happening isn’t defensible or just -- like laws that suppress votes in a democracy.

We can stop this at the federal level with the For The People Act, but with Mitch McConnell and the Republicans blocking us at every turn, it won’t be easy. I don’t think I’ve said it this bluntly before but: these people don’t care about democracy. They don’t play by the same rules. So I need your help. 

We don’t have your name on the petition demanding the Senate pass the For The People Act -- and we need it, as soon as possible. Can you sign on?

I’d be honored to have you with me. 

Chuck Schumer
