Lucas,
Last week, every Republican senator filibustered President Obama's bill to put 400,000 educators and police officers back to work.
You read that right: Teachers. And. Police.
They're getting ready to do it again. Soon, the Senate will vote to create good construction jobs by rebuilding America's crumbling roads and bridges through a tiny surtax on incomes over $1 million.
But getting people working again isn't the GOP's top priority. Protecting millionaires, billionaires and corporations is their only priority.
Republicans will do whatever it takes - filibuster every bill. Mangle the economy. Just to appease the top 1 percent. They're playing hardball - we can't lob softballs. We have to stop them, protect the Senate, and back President Obama. That means raising $100,000 by our monthly deadline in just 6 days.
Can you pitch in $5 or $10? If we fall short 6 days from now, it could mean a total GOP takeover. Period.
Remember: 37 states have taken steps to disenfranchise 5 million mostly Democratic voters. This is enough votes to take the White House and Senate. If we don't have the resources to overcome this right now, we can't stop the GOP takeover.
Republicans are more than willing to toss American workers, families and communities overboard in their calculating attempt to coddle billionaires and destroy President Obama. Think that over, then help with $5 before it's too late.
Best,
Jason
