Folks, there’s only one thing stopping us from investing in American jobs and American families, passing the PRO Act, enacting climate solutions, protecting the right to vote, competing with China, rebuilding our country, and -- well, the list goes on.
The filibuster is the #1 obstacle to the progress America’s workers are demanding. And flipping Ohio’s Senate seat is our chance to end it.
Look, this move makes us a BIG target for Mitch McConnell and his wealthy GOP buddies -- we’re expecting a barrage of attacks any day now. I’m proud to stand on the right side of history but the ONLY way we’ll be able to overcome whatever the GOP throws at us is if you step up today.
We only get one shot at this. Will you chip in $5 to help us win this race so we can leave the filibuster in the past where it belongs?
Here’s a brief history of the filibuster:
- It is not written into the Constitution
- It was popularized by a Jim Crow segregationist to delay civil rights legislation
- It has been weaponized by Mitch McConnell to block urgent, popular, effective laws
So... why the hell are we still talking about it?
It’s never been more clear: the filibuster has to go, and we need to expand our Democratic Senate Majority to get it done. Mitch McConnell and his dark money buddies will spend millions to stop us from taking away their favorite tool for obstruction -- will you chip in to help us fight back and win?
