John,

Conservative Democrats like Joe Manchin oppose policies like lowering the Medicare age to 60 because they don’t want the government to provide more Americans with guaranteed health care. Even if people are only a year away from current Medicare eligibility.

Joe Manchin wants to "means-test" every policy, making them weaker, with more loopholes, and harder for working families to get benefits.

Just a few days ago, Manchin specifically said he wanted to restrict who could receive the Child Tax Credit. He wants to means-test that and every other benefit. No wonder Democrats like him allowed many pandemic unemployment benefits to expire.

Justice Democrats have been on the frontlines of the fight against Manchin to pass the $3.5 trillion spending bill and deliver economic relief to the people. But this bill is just the beginning. Can you chip in to fuel our fight? If we want to pass bigger and bolder legislation, we’re going to have to elect more Justice Democrats.

It’s no surprise that Manchin’s interests align with the interests of Wall Street, Big Pharma, and the fossil fuel industry. Corporations will benefit from Manchin’s obstruction AND Manchin personally profits from the fossil fuel industry.

Our fight for Medicare for All and a Green New Deal starts with holding the line to pass a $3.5 trillion spending bill and beating back the corporate influence in Congress. Then, we need to elect more Justice Democrats to further empower the progressive voting bloc in Congress. Can you chip in $3 to fuel our advocacy and help us elect even more progressives ready to hold the line for transformative change?

In solidarity,

Justice Democrats
