John,

In barely two weeks, on Tuesday, April 4th, a Supreme Court race will occur that'll not only determine whether millions of women have access to abortion rights, but may determine the future of our democracy.

We've written about the race before, but we're now basically in the final two week stretch. What I said above is not hyperbole. This one race is easily the most important of the year and could determine whether we remain a democracy. 

The Washington Post summed it up:

The last 30 years we've seen Republicans prioritize these less glamorous races, for offices filled with power, from courts to state Attorneys General and Secretary of State offices. It has allowed them to steal more elections through voter suppression and manipulation than any of us can count.

There is a last minute effort by the Kochs to dump in millions and steal the race (what's new?). Will you join us in defeating this effort by giving Janet Protasiewicz $5, $10, $25 or whatever you can?

 

 

These Republicans fully understand the stakes of this race. I hope we do, or we'll again lose a winnable contest that may not seem like a big deal, but will have ENORMOUS CONSEQUENCES--horrifying ones--for our democracy. 

More from The Washington Post:

This one election on April 4th will determine whether there's a MAGA Republican or progressive Democratic majority on this court. It all comes down to this race. 

Our candidate, Janet Protasiewicz, is ahead in polling, but it's too close to call. She'll legalize abortion for millions of WI women & protect the state from any attempt by Trump, DeSantis, Pence or any other right-wing autocrat to overturn our democracy for their Christian Nationalist beliefs. 

Will you stand with us to counter the last minute effort by the Kochs to dump in millions and steal the race? Will you join us in defeating their effort by giving Janet Protasiewicz $5, $10, $25 or whatever you can?

Thank you for defending democracy from this right-wing onslaught.

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. 

And savvy grassroots activists like you know, just like we do, that we can’t stop watching the people we help elect: after the elections, we have to keep organizing support for the policies we like and pushing back against the ones we don’t.

When the public tunes out between elections and the only people our elected officials hear from are the paid lobbyists of wealthy corporations, our government stops being accountable to the needs of ordinary families.

Democracy never sleeps, and neither can we.

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.
