Dear MoveOn member,
Far-right Republican Congresswoman Liz Cheney—who wants to defund Planned
Parenthood, is endorsed by the NRA, and opposes a pathway to citizenship
for Dreamers—just lost her seat in Congress.^1
Not because she's too radical. But because she's not MAGA extremist
enough.
Cheney, the daughter of warmonger and former Vice President Dick Cheney,
is one of the few Republicans who stood up to Donald Trump and
publicly—and rightfully—blamed him for the January 6 white supremacist
insurrection.
And Tuesday night, after Trump endorsed her opponent, she lost her Wyoming
Republican primary in a landslide, losing by a massive 37-point margin.^2
This is exactly the strategy Trump and Steve Bannon have been planning and
executing for months: Take over the entire Republican Party by electing
ultra-MAGA candidates to critical positions.
In fact, over 250 Trump-style election deniers have won GOP primaries this
cycle. Many of these conspiracy theorist candidates are running in swing
states to oversee elections. If they win, they'll oversee the 2024
election when Trump runs for president. And they'll have the power to
certify Trump the winner, no matter the true will of the people.
That's why MoveOn is investing an unprecedented $30 million to defeat the
MAGA GOP and stop Trump's plot.
John, can you donate $5 a month to ensure our
midterm election program is fully funded and operational through Election
Day? We must meet our goal in order to stop Trump's coup.
[ [link removed] ]Yes, I'll chip in monthly.
[ [link removed] ]No, I'm sorry, I can't make a monthly donation.
As we saw Tuesday night in Wyoming, Trump's plot to take over the entire
GOP and tear down anyone in his way is working.
This was the Washington Post's headline on Monday: "Election deniers march
toward power in key 2024 battlegrounds."^3
Election deniers like Doug Mastriano running for governor of Pennsylvania,
who believes the popular vote in his state is nonbinding and who is so
anti-American that prominent Republicans have endorsed his Democratic
opponent.^4
And Adam Laxalt, running for U.S. Senate in Nevada, who spreads so many
conspiracy theories about voter fraud that he is called "the Nevada
version of Rudy Giuliani."^5
And Mark Finchem, running for secretary of state in Arizona, who rioted on
January 6 and is a member of the white supremacist Oath Keepers.^6
And Jim Marchant, who is running for secretary of state in Nevada, who
openly declares he would not have certified the election results for Joe
Biden.^7
And Ryan Kelly, the GOP frontrunner for governor of Michigan, another
January 6 rioter, who has pledged to eliminate drop boxes, same-day voter
registration, and automatic mail-in ballots.^8
And Kari Lake, running for governor in Arizona, who has pledged to
decertify the 2020 results, end mail-in voting, and impose racist voter ID
requirements.^9
Without overstating it, stopping Trump from returning to the White House
in 2024 may well depend on the 2022 midterm elections—and the
unprecedented work MoveOn is planning to do in the next three months.
But we need your help to do it.
If you are able, will you chip in $5 a month to run TV ads,
put up billboards, hire organizers, and do more to stop the GOP this
November? As a member-funded organization, we depend on MoveOn members
like you for the financial resources to run our campaigns. Giving monthly
is one of the best ways to support our work.
[ [link removed] ]Yes, I'll chip in monthly.
[ [link removed] ]No, I'm sorry, I can't make a monthly donation.
Thanks for all you do.

to steal the presidency in 2024 are well underway and include working to
replace top election officials in battleground states with his own
loyalists. Which is why MoveOn is doing something we've never done in our
23-year history: We're launching a powerful, multimillion-dollar effort to
defeat Trump-backed secretaries of state across the country and elect
individuals who will count every vote and ensure fair elections.
Will you chip in monthly to power our campaign to defeat Trump and protect
our elections in 2022?
