DIRTY DEAL ROUND 2

This was a good week to be a progressive — and a bad week to be Joe
Manchin.

Not only did we diminish Manchin’s power by clinching the 51st Senate vote
with Warnock in the Georgia Runoff, but we also dealt a second blow to his
Dirty Deal.

[ [link removed] ][IMG]

Our Revolution activists jumped into rapid response this week to stop
Speaker Pelosi and House Reps from attaching the deal to the ‘must-pass’
National Defense Authorization Act.

Now, the fight has moved to the Senate, where Chuck Schumer is looking to
advance this disastrous giveaway to polluters in their version of the
NDAA. We can win again — but we need to take action immediately.

With lobbyists rushing to convince Democratic Senators to back the dirty
deal, we must show them just how many of us oppose Manchin’s selfish push
to fast-track fossil fuels and gut protections for frontline communities.

“We’ve got to say ‘hell no’ to any side deal that fast-tracks fossil
fuels,” Sen. Jeff Merkley said on our recent [ [link removed] ]National Organizing Call.

In September, Our Revolution and our coalition fought to defeat the Dirty
Deal, making thousands of calls to pressure Congress, but we knew it
wasn’t the end.

They’re going to keep trying to push this into must-pass legislation
through the end of the year. That’s why we need you to stay vigilant as
part of our [ [link removed] ]Rapid Response Team and be ready to take action at a
moment’s notice.

Thank you for helping Our Revolution play a decisive role in re-electing
Senator Warnock and defeating Trump's handpicked candidate Herschel
Walker!

Not only did we clinch the 51st vote in the Senate, but we also diminished
the power of Joe Manchin to obstruct the Democratic agenda.

Warnock will be a powerful voice in the Senate in the fight for voting
rights, expanding the child tax credit, and countering the influence of
far-right Republicans hellbent on moving our country backward.

Our Revolution staff and members made more than 4.5 million voter contacts
through Nov. 8th and the Georgia Runoff. Your support powered our direct
voter outreach to more than 150,000 Our Revolution Georgia members!

This election came down to voter mobilization, and our one-on-one
conversations with young, progressive, independent, and working-class
voters helped overcome voter suppression and lift Senator Warnock to
victory.

Add this to our list of victories in the 2022 midterms, where our movement
helped fend off a red wave, flip a Senate seat, and send 9 new
progressives to the House!

SURPRISE! SINEMA DEFECTS

[ [link removed] ][IMG]

Kyrsten Sinema has predictably chosen to defect rather than take on
corporate power. Ironically, she calls herself independent when she’s so
clearly shackled to big money interests.

Sinema being an “independent voice” is absurd when she’s so completely
bought and spoken for. “She knows that she’s going to have a serious
challenge in 2024,” Our Revolution Campaigns Director Paco Fabian told
[ [link removed] ]The New Republic.

She can change her party but she won’t change her stripes. Sinema always
put the government on the side of herself and her donors, not of the
people — and that won’t change.

STOP THE WAR IN YEMEN

[ [link removed] ][IMG]

Bernie Sanders is planning to force a vote on a war powers resolution
aimed at blocking U.S. support for the Saudi-led war in Yemen.

On Wednesday, Our Revolution joined a coalition of more than 100 advocacy
and news organizations to urge members of Congress to adopt Bernie’s War
Powers Resolution, [ [link removed] ]Common Dreams reports.

“It’s been almost two months since the truce in Yemen expired, violence on
the ground is escalating, and there is still no formal mechanism
preventing a return to all-out war,” our [ [link removed] ]letter reads.

Shortly after taking office, Biden resumed hundreds of millions of dollars
of weapons sales to Saudi Arabia; and, in October, we supported US Rep. Ro
Khanna’s bill to cease sales.

U.S. Reps Ro Khanna and Mark Pocan teamed up with health insurance
whistleblower and Medicare for All advocate Wendell Potter to debunk the
scam that is “Medicare Advantage” in [ [link removed] ]The Nation this week.

“In reality, so-called ‘Medicare Advantage’ is neither Medicare nor an
advantage,” they said. “It’s actually just private insurance that uses the
trusted Medicare name to trick seniors and people with disabilities into
enrolling, then profits by denying coverage for necessary medical care.”

Medicare for All. We must improve REAL Medicare and expand it to everyone.

2023 MARYLAND FORUM

[ [link removed] ][IMG]

Our Revolution Maryland leader and State Del. Sheila Ruth led the
[ [link removed] ]Forum on Legislative Priorities with five additional progressive state
lawmakers this week to gear up for 2023.

Sens. Jill Carter and Paul Pinsky, and Dels. Gabriel Acevero, Sheila Ruth,
and Vaughn Stewart discussed top action items for the year and ORMD
members’ top issues — from criminal justice reform to healthcare to
raising wages, [ [link removed] ]Maryland Matters reported.

“Now that we have a Democratic governor, even bigger supermajorities, what
are we going to do with it?” said State Sen. Julie Palakovich Carr. “Our
responsibility is to hold our party accountable. It’s tough to challenge
your friends, especially when they happen to be your leaders.”
