John,

We are only 2 days from a race that could turn Virginia into a state actively hostile to all women, treating half the population as Handmaid's-Tale-like vassals of the state.

To prevent this tragedy, will you join Blue Amp Action in giving $5, $10, $25 to Aaron Rouse RIGHT NOW, to use immediately in a winning effort on Tuesday?

This coming Tuesday, January 10th, is a crucial special election in Virginia to fill an open state senate seat. Why is this so crucial: Because anti-choice fanatic Glenn Youngk is Governor. Republicans also control the state house. Our paper-thin, 21-19 majority in the state senate is all that stands between Virginia women and Republican promises to make women second class citizens.

There are two problems, though. 

1) The Manchin problem. One Democrat, Joe Morissey, refers to himself as "prof-life" and supports Republican efforts to ban abortion 

2) The open state senate seat to be filled Tuesday. If Republicans win, they'll just need Morissey to join them in voting against abortion--and it'll be banned in all cases.

 

 

If we elect abortion-rights champion, Aaron Rouse, we'll protect all the rights of  8.6 million Virginians. If we allow his opponent, extremist Kevin Adams to win, abortion becomes illegal in the Old Dominion. This will lead to women sustaining grievous injuries--even death--because of doctors too scared to treat them.

Rarely does one state senate seat make the difference. This one does. 

What we do NOW will determine if Virginia women are forced to hand over control of their bedrooms and doctors offices to Peeping Toms in the state legislature. To prevent this tragedy, will you join Blue Amp Action in giving $5, $10, $25 to Aaron Rouse RIGHT NOW, to use immediately in a winning effort on Tuesday?

Thank you for fighting for all women, for never giving into the tyrants who wish to control their most fundamental decision in their lives.

Cliff

About BlueAmp Action:

We cannot sugarcoat the current situation. Right-wing authoritarianism, defeated by a worldwide coalition during WWII, was only in hibernation. Over the past decade it has infected democratic societies--including ours. It is as simple as it is terrifying: What we do now will define the future of our country and world. 

We at Blue Amp Action are dedicated to liberal, open societies, where reason and science are applied to solve our problems; where civil rights--including voting rights!--are protected for all. We fight for these values every day. Speaking up on our platforms, raising the voices and the political prospects of liberal pols and pundits. 

So we ask that you support our work, so we can continue to engage in this fight every moment of every day. So our kids grow up in democracy, not dystopia.

Thank you for your support for all we do! Please follow Cliff Schecter on Twitter @cliffschecter, or subscribe to The Takedown with Cliff Schecter on YouTube, to keep up to date with this battle for the heart and soul of our country.
