STOP SCREAMING @ AL

Lucas --

People are always coming up to me and yelling, “Al! We gotta beat Trump!” (I wish people wouldn’t do that, at least not when I’m trying to eat lunch or catch a flight.)

But yes: We do gotta beat Trump. Not just because of the horrible things he says, but because as President, he’d enact the far-right agenda Republicans have pushed for years.

Here’s the thing, though: Trump or no Trump, if Republicans have the Senate, they’ll never stop trying to gut Social Security and Medicare, repeal health reform, defund Planned Parenthood, and block action on everything from climate change to voting rights. We can’t let them get away with it.

Which means it’s not enough to beat Trump. We have to beat the Party of Trump. And the only way to do it is by taking away their Senate majority.

Shouting at me about how awful Trump is won’t help with that. But this will: pitch in to help elect a new Democratic majority -- your gift will be triple-matched!

Republicans know the Senate is every bit as important as the White House. That’s why the big names on the far right are coming out of the woodwork – not for Trump, but for the Senate majority they’re desperate to keep.

What kind of big names? How about George W. Bush, who’s hitting the campaign trail for embattled GOP Senators? Or Karl Rove, whose pet Super PAC is roaring into action? Or the Koch brothers, one of whom just dumped $3 million into stopping a Democratic takeover?

The point is that no matter who wins the White House, we need a Democratic Senate to stop the obstruction for good and start making progress again. And that means we need you, and we need you right now.

Unless you’re late for a flight or something. In which case, do it when you get on the plane.

Thanks for all you do,

P.S.: From now on, if you come up to me at the airport or whatever and holler that we gotta beat Trump, I might just ask if you’ve done your part to take back the Senate too. So be prepared: Click here to make your contribution today!
