Team, it's really this simple: The Senate will advance critical legislation to stop the GOP attacks on our democracy, or we'll consider changing the rules of the Senate.
We can’t let Mitch McConnell and Senate Republicans deter us. The GOP's attacks on the right to vote are despicable, and they have to be stopped.
For that reason, if Senate Republicans block our efforts again, we are prepared to debate and consider changing the rules of the Senate. Protecting voting rights is too important.
As you know, the DSCC is hard at work ensuring we protect our Senate majority in 2022. And the DSCC’s top campaign strategists want to hear from you:
Do you think Democrats should change the rules of the Senate to prevent Republicans from blocking voting rights?
Let me set the stakes:
In the year since President Trump's supporters stormed the U.S. Capitol, Republican-led legislatures -- fueled by Trump's Big Lie -- have passed law after law making it harder to vote. They've tried to undermine the integrity of our elections and seize control of typically non-partisan election administration roles.
In response, Senate Democrats have fought to advance pivotal legislation to protect voting rights, because nothing is more important than saving the foundation of our democracy.
Time and again, Senate Republicans have refused to join us. They’ve obstructed, stalled, and stonewalled at every opportunity.
But our elections are too important to be skewed by the whims of the GOP. One suppressed vote is one too many. That’s why we must protect our Senate majority this year -- and in order to win, the DSCC’s top strategists need to know where you stand:
Do you think Democrats should change the rules of the Senate to prevent Republicans from blocking voting rights?
Thank you,
Chuck Schumer
