Friend --

Chuck is leading the Senate to vote on the For the People Act TODAY -- and we want to show him that we have a critical mass of support to protect the right to vote from Republican attacks and pass this historic piece of legislation.

We’re checking our records and it looks like you haven’t signed on yet. Can you please take a look and add your signature before the Senate’s critical vote this evening?

We’re already making once-in-a-generation progress in the Senate, but the For The People Act is essential to save our democracy and end state voter suppression laws and gerrymandering once and for all.

We’re so close to our goal of 100,000 signatures -- but we have less than 12 hours left to force the Senate to pass this bill. So will you take a moment right now to add your name?

Chuck can’t do this without you.

Thanks,

Team Schumer

Subject: [PETITION] Failure is not an option

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
