John,

It was a reeeeal shame to me to hear that Joe Manchin is planning to vote
with Mitch McConnell + the GOP to uphold the filibuster and block the
passage of the For the People Act.

Here's what I can promise to you,
John: If I get to the U.S. Senate, I'll be 100%
on board with saving our democracy — but I'll need your urgent help to get
there.

I think common-sense legislation to expand voting rights is a no-brainer —
which is why I recently wrote an op-ed for CNN explaining why protecting
our democracy is so important.

$5 so that we can flip this Senate seat,
abolish the Jim Crow filibuster, and finally get things done for working
people across Pennsylvania.

If I was in the Senate now, my “yes” vote on the For The People Act would
not be about my party. It would not be about politics. This is about doing
what I know is right, guaranteeing everyone has the right to vote.

The contents of the bill are not controversial. And the fact that zero
Republicans have signed on to a bill designed to ensure all Americans are
granted their constitutional right to cast a ballot says far more about
the state of the Republican party than the bill itself.

We need to pass S.1 through the Senate and send it to President Biden’s
desk. And when Senate Republicans attempt to tank the bill by using the
racist filibuster, then the Democrats — including Joe Manchin — must take
action and abolish the filibuster to make sure S.1 is passed. The
Democrats who are refusing to reform the filibuster are telling us that a
silly Senate rule is more important to them than democracy itself. They’re
wrong.

We don’t have much time and we need to act now. It is time to abolish the
filibuster. Pass the For the People Act. Our democracy depends on it.

Before you go, I have a quick favor to ask: [ [link removed] ]Will you chip in
