In just three weeks, the state Senate Republicans have dredged up dozens of failed far–right ideas. The first big legislative deadline is next week, and we're working overtime to protect working families and put Washington back on a path to progress. Will you chip in $10 now to fuel our fight on the ground, online, and at the capitol?

Chip in!
Dear Friend,

What are they thinking?

In just three weeks, Sen. Rodney Tom and the Senate Republicans have dredged up dozens of failed far–right ideas. They've introduced bills to cut the minimum wage, gut election transparency, and impose new restrictions on abortion. They even brought Exxon–funded climate deniers to testify before the Senate environment committee.1

Together, we can ensure not a single one of these dangerous bills ever becomes law.



We're working overtime to protect working families and put Washington back on a path to progress. Nearly 10,000 people have already urged their legislators to support progressive reforms and tens of thousands more have seen our hard–hitting messages online. On the ground, dozens of Fuse members in swing district have joined phone banks, lobbied legislators and attended town hall forums.

Now the first big legislative deadline is next week. We need to put overwhelming grassroots pressure on swing senators to stand with working families instead of Tom and his special interest backers. That's where you come in. Will you chip in $10 right now to help fuel our fight on the ground, online, and at the capitol?

Yes! I'll chip in $10 now.

The Senate Republicans wasted no time in showing their true priorities this year. Instead of investing in the essentials for good jobs and quality education for all, they're protecting special interest tax loopholes and dismantling opportunities for families to get ahead.

It's a faceoff with far–right Republicans and powerful corporations on one side, and those of us who believe in justice for all and working together to make things better on the other. We have to turn up the heat to stop the rollbacks now and create more openings for progress. But we're facing some tough decisions about our budget for the rest of legislative session. If we fall short, we'll have to scale back just as we're getting going.

We're counting on your help to educate the public and hold Senate Republicans accountable. Will you chip in $10 right now and help us continue our rapid–response research, communications, and organizing effort to put pressure on the Senate Republicans for their far–right agenda? We cannot let the far–right priorities of the conservative Senate slow our plans to build a progressive movement for today, tomorrow, and the long term.

Yes! I'll chip in $10 now.

Thanks for all that you do,

Aaron and the entire team at Fuse
