Team –
I was back in Washington this week – to override Trump’s veto of a pay raise for our troops. The House also passed direct cash payments of $2,000, bumping up the $600 checks provided by the latest stimulus package – as requested by Trump. The bill is now being held up by Mitch McConnell in the Senate.
It’s a shameful end to a shameful Presidency. Trump vetoed funding for our military because he didn’t want to change military bases named after Confederate generals. And then after putting the COVID-19 relief bill at risk because he disagreed with his own government’s push for $600 checks rather than $2,000, he folded and signed the bill anyway.
I’ve been pushing to give Americans $2,000 a month since April. And the House is ready to pass increased stimulus – if Republicans will stop their obstruction.
This fight is far from over, and it won’t end once Trump leaves office. Will you rush a donation today to ensure I can keep fighting for the American people in the House?
If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:
On top of all this critical relief work in Congress, my campaign is facing a public quarterly fundraising deadline at the end of the year. And the crucial runoff elections in Georgia that will determine control of the Senate are just DAYS away.
EVERYTHING is on the line, and we can’t let up now. Our House Majority, in partnership with the Biden White House and a Democratic-controlled Senate, can immediately get to work on passing additional expansive relief packages and policies that will help Americans recover from the public health and economic crises bearing down on communities right now.
But without the Senate, we’re facing another term of obstruction from Mitch McConnell’s caucus.
Can I count on you to keep this movement going as strong as ever? Chip in today to help us stay on track ahead of the LAST quarterly deadline before the start of a new term and the Georgia runoffs.
Thanks,
– David
