Friend –

It's almost 2022, and the Senate still hasn't delivered on passing the Build Back Better Act for the American people.

Let me be clear: If we had a bigger Senate majority, this crucial legislation would have passed months ago.

To make progress for our nation, we simply must expand our razor-thin Democratic majority. Midnight tonight is our end-of-year fundraising deadline -- our biggest of the year -- and I'm reaching out for your help to do just that as we head into the midterm elections.

Before the clock strikes midnight tonight, will you chip in today toward Green Mountain PAC's "Expand the Senate Majority Fund"?

Without the Build Back Better Act, the American people are still waiting for action to address the climate crisis and deliver more resources to families across the nation, including paid family leave and expanded access to health care and child care.

Unfortunately, it's not just the Build Back Better Act on the line. Without a broader Democratic majority, we're also hamstrung on issues from voting rights to protecting access to reproductive health care.

But here's why I'm feeling hopeful: There are dozens of seats up for reelection in 2022. If we can turn just a few of those seats blue (and keep all of our crucial incumbents safe), we can truly make progress for our country.

With your help, I know we can get this done. Will you chip in right now toward our "Expand the Senate Majority Fund" (before our end-of-year fundraising deadline at midnight tonight) so we can protect and grow our Senate majority in 2022?

Thank you for your support this year -- and next.

Sincerely,

Patrick Leahy
U.S. Senator
