Tomorrow is one of the most important days in the history of our democracy.
The Senate will vote to begin debate on the For The People Act -- protecting the freedom to vote, fighting dark-money billionaires, and ushering in new anti-corruption rules.
We hope all 50 Democrats stand united for democracy. But even if they do, Republicans are expected to block action and require 60 votes by using the filibuster.
(Yes, in the name of "unlimited debate" -- which is what the filibuster is supposedly about -- Republicans will block the starting of debate. That's how intellectually honest they are.)
As a patriot, please do two things right now:
Tomorrow's vote is just the beginning of the fight. As we've worked for months on this issue, we and allies have assumed Republicans would obstruct.
The next month will be intense as we urge Democrats to reform the filibuster. Your activism today kicks off a big month ahead, and we'll keep you informed of developments the next 24-48 hours. Please pass to others as well.
Thanks for being a bold progressive.
