Let's elect Democrats up and down the ballot who will stop the assaults on our right to vote.  | Folks --
I've said it before. But I still can't believe we've found ourselves in a place where we're in a battle for voting rights in 2018.
That this is happening 53 years after the Voting Rights Act? It seems impossible. But it's not.
We're fighting in Iowa, where Republicans are racing to push a discriminatory voter ID law through the courts before this November's election.
We're fighting in North Dakota, where they're asking a judge to reduce the kinds of ID that Native Americans can legally use to vote.
We're fighting in Ohio, where the Supreme Court just ruled in favor of a law that will let the state kick thousands of voters off their rolls this fall -- based on their past voting frequency.
And you know what President Trump's political appointees have done about this assault on our rights? Sided with the folks preventing our citizens from voting. They've broken their contract with the American people.
But you can fight back. Chip in $3 or more to American Possibilities to elect Democrats up and down the ballot this fall -- help me put leaders in office who will stop these assaults on our right to vote.
Folks, it wasn't always this way. When we were in the White House, we treated the protection of voting rights as a solemn promise to the American people.
It was the right thing to do. It was the only way to move forward. Too many people over too many years have given too much of themselves for us to accept anything less than full equality at the ballot box.
But since the Supreme Court ripped the heart out of the Voting Rights Act, states have had a field day with voter suppression: Passing restrictive voter ID laws. Getting rid of common-sense policies like same-day voter registration and early voting on the weekend. Fighting automatic voter registration bills across the country.
And it's all aided and abetted by this administration.
But here's what gives me hope. Our opponents are doing this for a reason: They are deathly afraid of what happens when they can't keep us from the ballot box. They know if we show up, they can't win. So we can never back down, we can never give in, we can never be silenced, and we can never give up.
So it's time to let them know they will NOT win -- we will not be stopped, folks. Let's make it easier, not harder, for all of us to exercise our God-given right to vote -- no matter what we look like, where we came from, or who we worship. And let's do it starting November 6, 2018.
When you chip in $3 or more to American Possibilities, your donation goes right to electing Democrats -- this year -- who will do the right thing on voting rights.
We've won this fight once. I know we can win it again.
Thanks for standing with me,
Joe
