We're working with the veterans at Common Defense to pressure Joe Manchin
and the Senate with more headlines like this.

[ [link removed] ]Chip in to amplify disabled veterans' voices calling on the Senate to
protect voting rights with the For The People Act.

[ [link removed] ]Turn on images to see the CNN headline: What the For the People Act
would mean for veterans with disabilities

CNN just highlighted disabled veteran US Marine Corps field radio operator
Joanna Sweatt in a report on how Republican voter suppression laws will
rob disabled Americans -- including millions of veterans -- of their right
to vote.

CNN found Sweatt because our friends at Common Defense made the
connection. We teamed up with Common Defense to make clear to senators
that to protect America’s democracy and voting rights for all, the Senate
must pass the For The People Act and reform the filibuster.

[ [link removed] ]With your help right now, this CNN story can be just one of many
amplifying veterans' voices on voting rights. Common Defense is a
grassroots organization with a large veteran membership -- thousands are
veterans with disabilities. Many are willing to speak out about the
difficulties their disabilities present and how their right to vote would
be taken away by many Republican-run state governments.

The more veterans' and disabled veterans' voices we can amplify on radio,
TV, and online, the more pressure we'll put on Joe Manchin and the Senate
to act.

of disabled veterans' calling on Joe Manchin and the Senate to protect
their right to vote by passing the For The People Act? Donate here.

And, if you haven't already, [ [link removed] ]please joining tens of thousands of people
who have signed onto a letter from veterans telling senators to pass the
For The People Act. (You don't have to be a veteran to sign.)

Veterans are a group that many senators listen to -- including Senators
Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema. They are trusted messengers in our
communities. And they want senators to know that they served this country
to protect and defend American democracy -- not to defend the Senate
filibuster.

Getting veterans' voices into the public debate is one of the most
effective ways to push senators to reform the filibuster, pass the For The
People Act, and protect our democracy. 

Joe Manchin, Kyrsten Sinema, and every senator need to hear from disabled
veterans like these:

"I am a 100% disabled vet than can not stand for more than a couple of
minutes. Early voting helps me avoid crowds that would result in my not
being able to stand and wait long enough to vote." -- Sylvia, a disabled
veteran in Maryland.

"This assault on voting rights is unAmerican. It is against what I fought
for." -- Michael, a disabled veteran in Texas.

"I am a 100% disabled Vietnam Vet. I have used mail-in votes for years. It
is very hard for me to walk. Please do not take away my vote." -- Tim, a
disabled veteran in California.

"The Vietnam War was difficult but I went twice. Please don't let them
make it difficult for me to vote." -- David, a veteran in New Mexico.

The more Manchin, Sinema, other senators, and the public hear veterans'
voices like these, the more pressure we put on the Senate to reform the
filibuster and pass the For The People Act -- before it is too late.

[ [link removed] ]Can you chip in today to help PCCC and Common Defense get the voices of
veterans like Joanna, Tim, Michael, Sylvia, and David on the air in West
Virginia and across the country? Help ramp up the pressure on Joe Manchin
and other senators to pass the For The People Act and protect our
democracy.

And, remember to [ [link removed] ]sign on to veterans’ message telling senators all
Americans deserve an equal voice in the elections that shape our future --
and to pass the For The People Act and reform the filibuster to get the
job done of protecting America’s democracy.

Thanks for being a bold progressive.
