Hi, all, and happy Friday!
Fired up! 🔥
My postcarding crew has just passed the 11K mark and is on track to get a final 2,000 postcards out today and tomorrow, bringing us to a total of 13,000 mailed just from my hub.
Our Grassroots Dems phonebank later today already has tons of RSVPs.
Everywhere people are asking me how they can help. In California. In Texas. In the rest of the country.
The GOP. Has. Overplayed. Its. Hand.
Good. Things may be bad for a while, but we are going to destroy them. They have sealed their own fate.
I know this is hard. I know we all have a lot of big feelings about what’s happening. I know there are moments of true despair.
But in the end what matters is what we do. And I know you will double down with me.
That’s why we’ll win.
So let’s get to work.
P.S. I actually started out very strong on the NYT News Quiz but then tanked towards the end. 8 out of 11! How about you?
Call Your Senators (find yours here)
Hi, I'm a constituent calling from [zip]. My name is ______.
First, I support the Judiciary Act of 2021, which would add four seats to the Supreme Court, reflecting the growth of the judiciary over the past 150 years.
Second, I support the Women’s Health Protection Act. Considering what just happened in Texas, and what’s about to happen in dozens of other states, the time to pass it is now.
Finally, the Senate HAS TO pass laws to protect our right to vote. Everything is on the line. Either do this or our democracy may not survive. [If Dem add:] Abolish the filibuster and get all of this done, now. Thanks.

Extra Credit
Ask your Congressperson to sign on to a congressional letter demanding Biden grant clemency to 4000+ people living on home confinement.
Tweetstorm!
Please post this on social media (and take it to heart):
One way you can fight back against the #TexasTaliban is by cancelling your @ATT service. AT&T are Texas-based and huge donors to @GregAbbott_TX & the @TexasGOP. They haven’t said a word about the #TexasAbortionBan. Silence=complicity. You have a choice. Use it.

[To all 3 reps] [H/T]
President Biden’s $3.5 trillion Build Back Better plan is critical to our communities and our future―to helping families afford healthcare, childcare, eldercare, education, and housing. To increasing Medicare benefits and providing workers with paid family and medical leave. To expanding the Child Tax Credit to lift millions of children out of poverty. And to creating a sustainable clean energy economy.
I urge you to raise the full $3.5 trillion and make the wealthy and corporations pay their fair share to pay for it. Every dollar of revenue not raised from the rich and corporations is a dollar not invested in children, families and working people.
Thank you.
OK, you did it again! You helped save democracy! You’re amazing.
Talk tomorrow.
