PFAW Member,

In the 24 hours following Robert Mueller’s testimony to Congress that
Russia is still working to infiltrate and attack our elections, Mitch
McConnell and his Senate Republicans have blocked FOUR common-sense
election security bills.

They’re blocking these bills that would help safeguard our elections at
the same time that the body’s own Intelligence Committee released a report
saying that Russia attempted to hack into the election systems, in some
way, in ALL 50 STATES in 2016, and was successful to varying degrees in
several states!

It’s not hard to know why – McConnell claims the bills, which are
straightforward efforts to protect fair elections – are partisan attempts
to give Democrats an advantage, essentially ADMITTING that Republicans are
relying on foreign adversaries and other who would hack our elections to
cheat on their behalf. 

We need to secure our elections, and PFAW is working to build support for
the bills in question. But watching McConnell’s corrupt intent and his
appalling disdain for our democracy play out so nakedly in real time also
underscores the urgent need to FLIP the Senate and elect a Democratic
majority – so we can finally secure our elections and strengthen our
democracy with other desperately needed reforms.

We need to replenish our Take Back the Senate Fund with another $36,000
before the end of the month to fight back and hold Republican senators
accountable at the ballot.

All online donations until our July deadline – 5 days away – will be
TRIPLE-MATCHED up to $50,000!

Senate Fund to defeat Trump’s Senate enablers and END McConnell’s
majority?



As contributing columnist Frida Ghitis just wrote in the Washington Post:

[3]Washington Post

“Why are Republicans, the party of flag-huggers and fist-pumping ‘USA!’
chants, throwing the gates open to America’s foes? The answer is as clear
as it is disturbing: That’s what President Trump wants. And why does Trump
want the country to lower its guard against a proven, ongoing assault by
the Kremlin?

“Because Trump fully expects that Russian President Vladimir Putin’s
interference will help him win in 2020, just as it did in 2016.”

So, to lay it all out, we’re up against a right-wing movement that’s more
energized and radicalized than ever...

We’re up against the Republicans’ massive Big Money advantage…

And now, unless enough state, local, and federal officials treat the
election security threat with the urgency it demands – and time is running
out – it looks like we’ll be up against more foreign interference (from
Russia and other foreign actors who will be borrowing from the Russian
playbook). 

Add that to all the other anti-democratic tactics being employed by
Republicans – from voter suppression to gerrymandering – and you can see
how much effort, dedication, and grassroots funding it’s going to take to
unseat enough Republicans to flip the Senate.

But there’s also some great news!

* Several of our top Republican Senate targets are dismally unpopular
(like Susan Collins in Maine)…

* We have shown in the past that we can BEAT their Big Money with
grassroots funding, activism, and movement building – People Power!

* And if you donate to Take Back the Senate today, you’ll actually
TRIPLE the impact of your support because your gift will be
300%-MATCHED!



[ [link removed] ]Please give as generously as you can now before our July deadline to
have your impact TRIPLED in the fight to take back the Senate>>



Thank you, so much, for all of your amazing support and for everything you
do.
