John,

Last year at this time we were doing everything in our power to elect a Democrat to the White House and win back the majority in both Houses of Congress.

Now, the Biden administration and Democratic lawmakers are poised to pass an infrastructure and social investment package that will dramatically improve the lives of millions of people in America.

But a few so-called “moderate” members of our party are standing in the way — and they’re willing to blow up the whole bill for a host of dubious reasons.

This is wrong. It isn’t fair that popular measures like strengthening roads and bridges, protecting the planet from climate change, and expanding the child tax credit will be scrapped because a handful of lawmakers don’t like the price tag or want to appear “bipartisan.”

We need to stand up for the lawmakers who are doing the right thing for the American people and supporting this bill. All of us are facing a critical Federal Election Commission (FEC) fundraising deadline at the end of the month — and we must make certain those who are showing courage and fighting for our priorities have the resources to stay in Congress. Will you donate today to support Democrats like me?

Some Democratic Senators have argued that $3.5 trillion is too high a price for this bill, but isn’t protecting our health and safety—not to mention the well-being of our planet—well worth the cost?

They also point to the need for working with Republicans. But hasn’t the GOP made it abundantly clear that they’re more interested in obstruction and inaction than doing anything positive for working families?

These Senators are objecting to the measure to lower prescription drug prices, something Big Pharma doesn’t want. Meanwhile, they’re some of the biggest recipients of donations from the pharmaceutical industry (others get loads of cash from oil and natural gas companies, which explains their resistance to bold climate change action).

It’s extremely disheartening to watch members of our own party put big money donors ahead of the American people. That’s why I need you to give right away and support Democrats who want to serve their constituents, not their donors.

Thanks for your help,

Jared
