I'm grateful for you

  John,   The primary election has ended. Despite the historic efforts by our Republican legislature and Republican governor to suppress the vote, Georgians have stated loudly and clearly that they will not be silenced.   Looking at what we’ve achieved together, I hope you fee…

Fwd: GA's primary election is TOMORROW

  We’re sending you this message because, according to our current records, you’re a supporter of Hank’s who lives out of state. If our records are wrong and you do live and vote in Georgia, you can disregard the rest of this email and instead make a plan to vote tomorrow using th…

the only way forward

  John,   With the Supreme Court poised to overturn Roe v. Wade and Senate Republicans determined to block any attempt to codify Roe, the only way to protect reproductive rights is to change the makeup of the Supreme Court.   I introduced the bill to expand the court, and I’m…

America wouldn't be America without DeKalb County

  John –   In an alternate reality, Republicans still control the Senate. Majority Leader Mitch McConnell found a way to stop Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson’s confirmation. And the Supreme Court’s decision to strike down Roe prompted the Republican Senate to pass a nationwide ab…

The Supreme Court has lost its credibility.

    John,   It's time to expand the Supreme Court. And I don't say this lightly.   It’s the most unrepresentative institution in the United States government. A socially conservative court of partisan justices determined to enact a partisan agenda — as evidenced by the leaked…

About that Elon Musk tweet...

  John –   Elon Musk tweeted THIS today:     No dirty tricks here. We just want to hear your thoughts, John. Are you upset that Elon Musk is giving himself to the dark side? Or are you glad to see him go?   SORRY TO SEE ELON GO   GLAD TO SEE ELON GO   It’s rich (pun …

ONE WEEK until primary day

  John –   We only have one week left before Georgia’s primary election. Primary voters are general election voters, and if we want to stop Republicans from retaking control of the whole state, we need to boost turnout now.   Help mobilize voters and stop the GOP →   DONA…

Defend Senator Warnock

Believe them.

  They said they were coming for voting rights.     They said they were coming for reproductive rights.     Now, they’re saying LGBTQ+ rights are next.     When Republicans tell us what they’re going to do, we need to believe them. And we need to stop them.   Han…

I'm in Mitch McConnell's head

  John,   My bill to expand the Supreme Court is gaining attention. Most of it is positive. Some of it is from Republicans who are trying to destroy the idea.   Good.   It shows that Republicans know my bill is a threat to their plans to end abortion rights, destroy LGBTQ+…

We need court reform now

Hey John, Quick update on Hank’s work to reform the courts. Talk of expanding the Supreme Court is gaining momentum now that we know the court is poised to strike down Roe v. Wade. We need to expand the court, and Hank introduced the bill to make it happen.   We’ve put together C…

It all comes down to us

  John –   With two weeks left until the May 24th primary, we have to move FAST to mobilize as many voters as possible.   As Hank mentioned earlier, suppressing the vote is a fundamental part of the GOP’s plan. It’s how they hold onto power even as a majority of Americans disa…

May 10, 2022 at 7:05 PM

Here's the Republican plan

John, When the Supreme Court overturns Roe v. Wade, it will mark the first time that a fundamental right has been taken away at the federal level. But that doesn’t mean that other rights have not been chipped away at over the years. And if Republicans get their way, many more rig…

We're not giving up

  John –   If Roe v. Wade is overturned, abortion laws will be decided by each individual state.   That’s bad news, as many states have trigger laws that will automatically outlaw abortion entirely as soon as Roe is struck down. Here in Georgia, reproductive care will be much h…

The Supreme Court has gone off the deep end

  John –    Congress MUST stop the Supreme Court from destroying the America we’ve built. You know it. We know it. Hank knows it. The vast majority of Americans know it. And now it’s time to do something about it. Women’s rights, LGBTQ+ rights, civil rights, voting rights – th…

How to help those who need reproductive care

  Real talk, John:   Reproductive justice is in jeopardy. The rights of women are imperiled.   Justice Alito’s draft opinion overturning Roe v. Wade means the Supreme Court appears ready to rip reproductive rights away from women across the country – Constitutional rights that…

Now we get out the vote

  Early voting begins today, John. It’s time for Georgia voters to make their voices heard in the primary election.   If you watched the third Republican gubernatorial debate last night, you know that the GOP is furious about Georgia’s ongoing evolution into a blue state.   …

Last chance :)

Hey John, Carole here, Hank’s campaign manager. I don’t normally message supporters without letting Hank know, but I want to level with you real quickly.    We’ve only got a few hours left before our midnight deadline, and we’re still about $2,300 behind our April grassroots fundraising goal. H…

The most important email I’ve sent you this month

Republicans can't handle the truth

John,   The theme of this Worst Behavior Watch is revisionism. We’ve seen a lot of Republicans recently try to change their stories or alter the facts around the January 6th insurrection.   Let’s start with Marjorie Taylor Greene. In a hearing to determine whether she had enga…

Help me help Stacey Abrams

how to watch tonight's debate

These numbers are worrying

sexist, racist, classist laws

Republicans think your health is a game

Fight discrimination by celebrating natural hair

  John, Racism comes in many forms. Sometimes, it’s blatant and obvious. Other times it’s masked as a school or workplace hair requirement. The attempt to control people’s natural hair is one more means by which our society tells Black men, women, and children that they must con…

Bring on the sanctions!

  John, I’ve officially been sanctioned by Russia.   This is the best news I’ve heard all year! It means that in Russia’s eyes, I’m one of the U.S. lawmakers making their unprovoked invasion of Ukraine more difficult.   Fantastic. I’m honored to be sanctioned by Russia.   B…

ending our dependence on R̷u̷s̷s̷i̷a̷n̷ *ALL* oil
