[1]People For the American Way -- Summer 2022 Member Campaign

People For Supporter,

One of the key elements of the Far Right’s seditious plot to overthrow our
democracy last January 6 was brought to light in last week’s Select
Committee hearings: the attempts to introduce fake slates of electors who
– rather than the duly-elected delegations from the key battleground
states – would somehow then be deemed valid, and cast their states’
Electoral College votes for Trump.

A key player in this scheme, it’s now been revealed, was Senator Ron
Johnson of Wisconsin.

Last week we learned that Johnson, through his staff, tried to deliver
fake elector slates for Wisconsin and Michigan to Vice President Pence
during the joint session to certify the results of the election.

Hodgson: What is it? Sean Riley: Alternate slate of electors for MI and WI
because archivist didn't receive them.

Ron Johnson is perhaps the most vulnerable of the far-right senators in
this year’s midterms and we need to make sure that he’s held accountable
for his role in Trump’s attempted coup! Keeping Mitch McConnell out of
power and expanding a pro-democracy Senate majority depends on it!

defeating Johnson and holding insurrectionists like him accountable >>

Fortunately, the vice president’s staff did not accept the fake electors
... but Johnson has refused to answer when pressed to reveal whether he
knew of this plan in advance. His non-denial denials are a plain attempt
to try and sweep the entire matter under the rug ... and he keeps changing
his story about what actually happened.^[1]

We’re working to get out the vote in Wisconsin and other key states this
year, and part of that work is making sure that we amplify the revelations
from the ongoing January 6 Select Committee hearings.

Democracy itself is on the ballot this year, and it’s obvious that Ron
Johnson and his fellow conspirators should never be trusted with positions
of authority in our government ever again. [ [link removed] ]So, we’re asking for your
renewal donation today, because we need your help.

There’s a very real possibility of one or both chambers of Congress coming
under the control of proponents of the “Big Lie” next year – and now,
they’re showing little hesitancy to keep telling more lies. This cannot be
allowed to continue.

People For is uniquely positioned to get the truth out, and to mobilize
voters against the Far Right’s dangerous lies and authoritarian extremism
this fall. But, with the explosive revelations coming out of the January 6
Select Committee hearings, we can’t afford to wait. We have to use this
moment for all it’s worth to make sure that voters know the truth ahead of
the November elections and to stand up for truth and democracy ... or
before we know it, it will be too late.

But with our end-of-month deadline just 48 hours away, we’re still more
than 1,000 donations short of the resources we need – and we’re running
out of time to close the gap.

[ [link removed] ]We’re depending on our supporters like you to make this essential work
possible. Will you take a moment to renew with a donation right now to
defeat Sen. Ron Johnson and stop the insurrectionist Far Right from taking
over Congress? >>

The only way to ensure the survival of our cherished democracy – and the
American Way – is to keep fighting.

Thank you for everything you do.

– Ben Jealous, President
