John —
Greg Abbott lied to the people of Texas — again. This is what he promised
Texans after signing one of the most extreme voter suppression bills in
the country last September:
"No one who is eligible to vote will be denied the opportunity to vote."
Yet, nearly 23,000 ballots were rejected during our primary elections
earlier this month. An investigation by the Associated Press found, "Texas
threw out mail votes at an abnormally high rate."

This is no accident, John. This
was part of a deliberate voter suppression scheme orchestrated by Abbott
and the Texas GOP to attack democracy, keep Texans from participating in
our elections, and retain their hold on power.
[ [link removed] ]Our democracy is on the line, and we need your help. That's why we're
launching a new Fight Voter Suppression Fund to go directly to
on-the-ground work in Texas to bring more people into our democracy and to
defeat Abbott. We're kicking it off with a goal to raise $75,000 by
midnight — will you pitch in right now?

While Abbott and Texas Republicans are trying to take away Texans' votes,
Beto is working to build an inclusive democracy where everyone who is
eligible to vote is able to. He's been doing this work for years and
helped lead the fight against the SB 1 voter suppression bill last summer.
Defeating Abbott isn't going to be easy — it will take a historic number
of Texans taking to the polls to demand change. That's why our organizing
team and over 56,000 volunteers are doing the work now to build a
people-powered coalition full of Democrats, Republicans, Independents, and
folks who haven't voted before.
John, your
support of the Fight Voter Suppression Fund will allow us to educate
Texans on their voting rights, register voters in all 254 counties, and
bring more people into this campaign. [ [link removed] ]Please, will you chip in
$3 or more right now to our Fight Voter Suppression Fund to
support our organizing across Texas and help elect a governor who will
protect our voting rights and our democracy?
Thank you for being a part of this,
— Team Beto
