Indivisibles,

We’ll get right to the point: MAGA GOP Senator Ron Johnson is bad news for
Wisconsin and the country, and we have the receipts to prove it. Read on
to get the full list, and then [ [link removed] ]help make sure we defeat him this
November.

 1. Starting off strong: Johnson just announced his cure-all to the labor
shortage in Wisconsin is to [ [link removed] ]“coax” senior citizens out of
retirement. He also wants to raise the retirement age and slash Social
Security all together. He is waging an attack on one of the most
vulnerable populations in America -- making it clear that he doesn’t
believe seniors deserve the benefits they’ve worked their entire lives
for.

 2. He declared the overturning of Roe "a victory for life," and he's
[ [link removed] ]long been a supporter of passing a national abortion ban. Johnson
has recently tried to scrub his image as an anti-choice extremist, but
he can’t hide that he’s co-sponsored multiple versions of Lindsey
Graham’s national abortion ban in the Senate over the last ten years.
His recent call for [ [link removed] ]exceptions to Wisconsin's abortion ban through
a voter referendum may seem moderate, but it only shows his
desperation to overhaul his image (and, conveniently, is unlikely to
even pass).

 3. He believes that [ [link removed] ]climate change is “bullshit.” In the face of
record-breaking heat waves, wildfires, drought, and storms, Ron
Johnson said that humanity could "easily adapt" to climate change and
once declared that "mankind has actually flourished in warmer
temperatures." He’s also [ [link removed] ]received almost a million dollars from the
fossil fuel industry. Coincidence? 

(If these three reasons were enough for you, [ [link removed] ]help fund all of our
crucial election work to call, text, write postcards, and knock doors
to defeat Ron Johnson and the MAGA GOP this November.)

 4. Ron Johnson is no friend to the LGBTQ+ community. Originally, he said
that he wouldn’t oppose the pro-marriage equality Respect for Marriage
Act, but in recent interviews, [ [link removed] ]he has stated that doesn’t mean he
“supports” it. This sort of flip-flopping is a hallmark of Johnson’s
policy stances -- a reminder that Johnson is running for a third term,
[ [link removed] ]despite his previous pledge to retire. This man cannot be taken at
his word! He also wants to [ [link removed] ]shut trans people out of public spaces:
he objects to trans women athletes being able to compete in women’s
sports, and calls the right for trans people to use the bathroom
“creepy.”
 5. He prioritizes protecting the ultra-wealthy (like him). PolitiFact
confirmed that [ [link removed] ]he pushed for a provision in the 2017 GOP tax bill
that disproportionately benefited the wealthy like himself and his two
biggest donors. Oh, and he recently told a constituent that the 1%
[ [link removed] ]already pay their fair share in taxes.

 6. He pushes bogus claims about COVID-19 and the vaccine. [ [link removed] ]In a video
conference with a fervent anti-vaccine commentator, Johnson said “it
may be true” that the COVID vaccine could lead to AIDS. His campaign
since went into damage control over what he said, but he can’t hide
that [ [link removed] ]he’s helped fuel COVID disinformation -- he claimed the
vaccines are not completely safe and supported unproven and
potentially dangerous treatments such as ivermectin and
hydroxychloroquine.

Finally, drumroll please…

 7. While MAGA extremists were marching on the Capitol on January 6th, Ron
Johnson’s staff was trying to deliver fraudulent ballots to Mike Pence
to overturn the 2020 election. Hard as he tried to deny and backtrack
on his involvement in the attempt to overthrow our democracy, the
January 6th Committee [ [link removed] ]uncovered text messages proving his
participation. Johnson also went to bat to defend the
insurrectionists: “I knew those were people that love this country,
that truly respect law enforcement, would never do anything to break
the law, so I wasn’t concerned,” [ [link removed] ]he said in an interview. He also
threw in a racist dog whistle that, had they been “...Black Lives
Matter and Antifa protesters, I might have been a little concerned.”
We can’t count on him to uphold the results of future elections that
don’t go his way.

This is only a fraction of all of the ways Ron Johnson has proven he’s a
MAGA extremist hell-bent on rolling back our rights and undermining our
democracy -- but we know how to stop him. Indivisibles on the ground in
Wisconsin and virtual volunteers across the country are already hard at
work in support of our endorsed Give No Ground candidate Lt. Gov. Mandela
Barnes. Barnes will be the leader the state needs, and the progressive
fighter that we deserve in the Senate. 

Mail-in ballots begin reaching homes as soon as this week in Wisconsin,
and Johnson is desperately trying to soften his extremism now that
[ [link removed] ]polls show Barnes within striking distance. We cannot let him fool
voters into electing him to a third term -- we must urgently expand our
budget and put even more resources into this fight. [ [link removed] ]If you can, please
donate $10
right now to ensure we can say yes to all of the expanded tactics,
targeting and mobilization needed now through Election Day. 

[ [link removed] ]Stop Ron Johnson >>

In solidarity,
Indivisible Team

PS: If you’re not able to chip in right now, we still need your help!

Give No Ground to do the work from now until Election Day and defeat the
MAGA GOP. 

PPS: One more bonus entry to our list -- Ron Johnson just accidentally
said [ [link removed] ]he condones white supremacy on national TV. Who makes these kinds
of mistakes?! 🤡
