Dear MoveOn member,
Women grow up hearing that being angry makes us unattractive. But you know what? I'm not going to apologize.
I'm angry. I own my anger. And I'm going to use my anger to stop Brett Kavanaugh's nomination and end Republican control of the House and Senate. Are you with me?
I'm angry that while many women had to relive the worst days of their lives last week, powerful men are doing everything they can to help a powerful man get one of the most powerful jobs in the country.
Dr. Christine Blasey Ford's conduct during the hearing last week was as brave as the Republicans' behavior was appalling.
But anger alone won't get us anywhere. We've got to channel our anger. Right now. We don't have a moment to lose.
We have only a matter of days to keep Brett Kavanaugh off of the Supreme Court—and just under five weeks until the midterm elections, when we can end Republican control of the House and Senate. We need to use every minute.
And that's why I'm writing you now. My friends at MoveOn are moving mountains to stop Kavanaugh and win in November, but it's up to us to provide the resources for this final push. Will you join us and chip in $3 to help out?
Brett Kavanaugh whined, ranted, raved, and spun conspiracy theories. He acted like someone who thought he was entitled to the seat. And he had a tantrum over being asked hard questions.
The wealthy and well connected believe they are entitled to power. They are used to getting their way.
But we know how to confront the entitled and the powerful. Our voices, together, have turned a confirmation that Washington had considered a shoe-in into one that we still have a fighting chance to head off. And our votes, together, can rip power away from Republicans in just 33 short days.
This is it. Every single thing we care about is on the line. Are you with me, Eddie?
Kavanaugh's proved that he's just an entitled judicial hit man. A partisan hack who peddles conspiracy theories against Democrats and could take out revenge on us, decision by decision, if he is confirmed.
Kavanaugh could dismantle generations of gains—one Court decision at a time—from reproductive rights to marriage equality to environmental protections, and so much more.
He's trying to use rage and finger-pointing and lies to get on the Supreme Court, but MoveOn members and our allies are standing in his way.
These are the defining fights of our time. I'm certain of it.
Please. Be part of history by chipping in $3 right now.
Historians will write about a mass progressive people's movement that stood up to a man accused by three women of sexual violence.
That stood up to a man chosen by Trump and archconservatives because he'd like nothing more than to dismantle our civil rights. (And, let's not forget, who believes a president can act above the law!)
Not now. Not ever.
I'm all in for MoveOn members' round-the-clock actions at the Capitol, their flood of calls, and their unparalleled work in every state in the nation to electoralize this fight and make sure Republicans pay on Election Day.
If you want to keep Brett Kavanaugh and the GOP away from the Supreme Court, you know what to do:
Thanks for all you do.
–Senator Elizabeth Warren
