Tonight at 8pm Eastern, President Biden will go on national TV to address urgent threats to our democracy. The White House press secretary previewed the speech, telling reporters yesterday that MAGA Republicans present "an extreme threat to our democracy, to our freedom, to our rights. They just don’t respect the rule of law." Be sure to watch on major news channels.
As you know, John, we've been sounding this alarm for over a year -- well before NBC News recently reported that "threats to democracy" are voters #1 concern leading up to the midterm elections.
This cycle, PCCC members like you have made over 10,000 donations totalling more than $125,000 to elect pro-democracy Secretaries of State to count the votes fairly -- and 30,000 donations totalling more than $375,000 to expand the Senate Democratic majority and eliminate the anti-democratic filibuster.
Following the first wave of hearings by the Jan 6 committee, the threat to democracy has crystalized as the massive issue it should be.
Last month, Liz Cheney expressed concern that "We have candidates for Secretary of State who may refuse to report the actual results of the popular vote in future elections." National media reported that pushing back on election-deniers running for office would be a major focus for her after her defeat in the Wyoming Republican primary.
This past weekend, Colorado Secretary of State and chair of the Democratic Association of Secretaries of State Jena Griswold warned, "The country could lose the right to vote in less than three months...What we can expect from the extreme Republicans running across this country is to undermine free and fair elections for the American people, strip Americans of the right to vote, refuse to address security breaches and, unfortunately, be more beholden to Mar-a-Lago than the American people."
Thanks for being a bold progressive who cares about our democracy.
