Hi there,

"There's old sayings in Texas about find all the rope in Texas and get a tall oak tree. You know, we take justice very seriously, and we ought to do that. Round up the bad guys."

That's Chip Roy, Republican congressman from Texas, in a congressional hearing about anti-Asian violence, making light of Texas's abhorrent history of lynchings of people of color.

It gets worse. Rep. Roy also took the opportunity (again, at a hearing *about anti-Asian violence*) to complain that he, a white member of Congress, was the real victim, and those who criticize him were akin to the Chinese Communist Party: "When we start policing free speech we're doing the very thing that we're condemning when we condemn what the Chinese Community Party does to their country."

Unreal. Not only did Chip Roy fail to show leadership in a time of escalating anti-Asian violence, but he repeatedly used his speaking time during the anti-Asian violence hearing to attack the Chinese Communist Party, deliberately mixing the two issues to the immense joy of his white nationalist base.

Well let me tell you, unlike the congressman, we're not interested in pandering to an arch-conservative base with allusions to lynching or validations of their misplaced feelings of victimization. We're interested in showing Chip Roy the door.

But as we've seen for the past four years, hard-right conservatives like Chip Roy have powerful special interests and dark money donors propping them up. For a small resistance like ours to take on the Koch Brothers' chosen candidates, we need all the ammunition we can get. And currently, we're $417 short of our March 27 goal -- but we're not giving up hope.

We're not giving up hope -- but only because we have you. Time and time again in the 2020 cycle, supporters like you showed up for our work to flip seats all across the country -- including two vital Senate seats in Georgia. Please, if you're able, we're asking you to dig deep -- deep enough to pull Chip Roy's casual racism out of Congress and send him packing back to Texas. Would you chip in $10, $15, $50, or whatever you can today? >> [link removed]
