Background

Democrats work For The People.

House Democrats passed HR1 -- the For the People Act -- in early 2019. This legislation restores election and government integrity. McConnell has refused to bring it to a vote. Why? Because it ends gerrymandering, voter suppression, dark money, and thus his minority rule. Democracy doesn't work for Trump or his GOP.

Senate Democrats held the floor all night on Sunday For the People and against GOP court packing. Trump sows hate, stoking his ego, lining his pockets, and promoting authoritarianism and violence. His GOP uses the resulting chaos and archaic Senate rules to pack the courts with ideologues to take away our health care and civil rights.
Trump and his GOP ignore our suffering, refusing to ensure we have the testing; contact tracing; PPE; and effective treatments needed to mitigate the pandemic or the financial resources to weather it. They deny climate chaos and dismiss attempts to change centuries of racist policies and brutality.

We deserve leaders who work For the People. We must use the next week to Get Out the Vote. Biden and state and local Democratic candidates will win when every absentee ballot is counted. We will win with leadership For the People.

1. Call the Senate.

Script for Republican Senators

D.C switchboard: 202-224-3121

My name is [–] and I’m a constituent from [city], [state], [zip code].

I believe in our democracy and am working to get out the vote. The Senate's refusal to vote on HR1 to restore our election integrity speaks volumes for how the GOP minority clings to power. It is time for that to stop. I urge you to insist:

The Senate pass a relief bill that has no liability shield allowing employers to force workers into unsafe situations without consequences;
Every vote, including every absentee ballot, is counted before this Election Season ends.
