John,
We have ONE MONTH until the midterm elections. Zero time for hesitation. We are mobilizing our pro-democracy coalition across the country. It will take all of us to ensure we have a democracy for ourselves and future generations of Americans.
In the critical swing state of Pennsylvania, pro-democracy candidates John Fetterman (for Senator) and Josh Shapiro (for Governor) are struggling to keep Ultra-MAGA TV doctor Mehmet Oz and Jan. 6 insurrectionist Doug Mastriano from gaining control of the electoral system. And some voters are already receiving their mail-in ballots.
