Dear MoveOn member,

Congress is on the verge of passing the most transformative piece of
legislation since the New Deal, one that would begin to tackle climate
change, tax the rich, and finally create paid family leave in the United
States—but there is a small group of nine conservative Democrats in
Congress hell-bent on stopping it from passing.

One of the leaders of this group is Representative Henry Cuellar of Texas,
the last remaining anti-abortion Democrat in Congress, and MoveOn is
joining forces with our progressive allies to take him on.

MoveOn has purchased time to run an ad during tonight's Houston Texans
football game in Cuellar's district that will let his constituents know
that Cuellar is trying to stop this bill, and will call on them to take
action. But we don't want to stop there.

We want to buy ad time during the Cowboys vs. Eagles division game on
ESPN's "Monday Night Football" on September 27—which is likely to be
watched by tens of thousands of Cuellar's constituents and could have an
enormous impact on changing his position. But ads during "Monday Night
Football" are some of the most expensive to purchase, and we need your
help to make it happen.

Night Football" and hold Cuellar and the other obstructionist Democrats
accountable?



The primary goal of these nine corporate-backed conservative Democrats in
blocking this legislation is, disgustingly, to protect their ultra-wealthy
donors. 

These corporate-loving conservative Democrats want people like Jeff Bezos
and Elon Musk, who added billions of dollars to their personal wealth
during the pandemic while their workers struggled to feed their families,
to continue paying little or no tax on their unending wealth.

Because Democrats hold only a five-seat majority in the House, these nine
obstructionists could sink the entire process, blocking the bill from
passing and stopping the vital, life-changing provisions within it from
becoming law and helping tens of millions of Americans.

We won't let that happen.

We are running digital ads, flooding the offices of these Democrats with
calls, and helping constituents in their districts organize rallies to
garner local press—which these representatives pay close attention to—and
if they continue to obstruct, MoveOn will flex its electoral muscles and
work to support progressive primary challengers who can unseat these
corporate Democrats and serve the people, not special interests.

But our biggest gambit is to blanket these districts with television ads
during some of the most-watched prime-time events—and that starts with the
Cowboys vs. Eagles game during "Monday Night Football" on September 27.

If we are able to break Rep. Cuellar off from this group of
obstructionists, the dominoes will begin to fall and we will be able to
get this bill passed—but we need to make a huge splash to get it done.

during "Monday Night Football," continue to pressure these
corporate-backed Democrats, and, if needed, spin up campaigns to kick them
out of office and replace them with progressive leaders who will stand for
people, not profits?



Thanks for all you do.
