Dear MoveOn member,
Minutes ago, the GOP despicably voted to acquit Donald Trump for inciting a deadly white supremacist attack on our democracy.1
We can't let these cowards—who would rather curry favor with Trump than protect our democracy—continue to serve in office.
So today, MoveOn is making a HUGE announcement: We're launching a massive campaign to oust these GOP traitors at the ballot box in 2022. We'll take on vulnerable GOP senators, including Marco Rubio in Florida and Ron Johnson in Wisconsin, and we'll go big to win open Senate seats in swing states like Ohio, Pennsylvania, and North Carolina.
But we need your help to launch and sustain this ambitious campaign through Election Day in 2022. Will you chip in $5 a month to help ensure we have the consistent resources to launch hard-hitting TV ads and billboards, run bold get-out-the-vote efforts, and do whatever else it takes to win in 2022?
No, I'm sorry, I can't make a monthly donation.
Mar, we know it seems that the 2020 elections just ended and that 2022 is a lifetime away from now.
But if you think that, think again: The GOP is already raising millions to defeat Democrats in 2022.
The latest figures paint a foreboding picture. Senate Republicans are beginning the 2022 elections with "a fundraising advantage over Democrats."2 In fact, while the National Republican Senatorial Committee has $5.4 million in its coffers, the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee is more than $10 million in debt.3
And that's just the beginning. Marco Rubio has already amassed a $3 million war chest to win re-election, and we know that conservative billionaires will stop at nothing to ensure their Republican cronies are back in power.4
Make no mistake: The GOP is prepared to shovel tens of millions into attack ads and smear campaigns against Democrats—all to reinstall Mitch McConnell as Senate majority leader. Which means we need to fight back. And that starts RIGHT NOW.
Will you chip in $5 a month to fight back against the GOP's dark money, win in 2022, and ensure Mitch McConnell doesn't control the Senate?
No, I'm sorry, I can't make a monthly donation.
We have our work cut out for us in the 2022 elections. We not only need to oust the seditionists in order to defend democracy, we also need to protect Democrats in swing states and districts who are up for re-election, and are likely to face difficult races in states where Republicans are planning to gerrymander districts in their favor.
Already, the GOP has said it "will put a heavy focus" on attacking and defeating Senator Raphael Warnock in Georgia and Senator Mark Kelly in Arizona in 2022, who both have to run again even though they were just elected.5 MoveOn members like you played a pivotal role in flipping Georgia and Arizona blue last year, and now the GOP wants revenge. But if we all do our part, we won't let them take away our Democratic majority in the Senate.
But it's not just in the Senate that we have work to do. Right now, Democrats hold the slimmest majority in modern history in the House.6 And the GOP just announced it is targeting a whopping 47 House Democrats in swing districts.7
And just days ago, Trump vowed to do everything he could to help Republicans win back the House in 2022.8
If it wasn't clear enough, the 2022 elections will be a defining moment for our nation. Will the white nationalists and fascists succeed in controlling our government, or will our nation choose the path of democracy?
The GOP has made their choice, and they chose lies, conspiracy, and a dictatorial cult of personality. We know Trump's sham acquittal is disappointing. But today is no time for despair. It's time to fight back.
Will you take action by chipping in $5 a month to fuel our efforts to win in 2022, defeat the GOP, and protect democracy? Your early investment makes all the difference.
No, I'm sorry, I can't make a monthly donation.
Thanks for all you do.
