Georgia voter suppression & assaults on our democracy

 

Dirt Road PAC

Jason,

I'm reaching out to you today because I need your help to protect our Democracy.

Republicans have launched an all out assault on our democracy itself, and it's put people like me — a Black Congressman representing rural Georgia — in danger of losing my seat.

I've never faced an election challenge like this before. Can you split $25 between my campaign and the Dirt Road PAC to defend my seat and the House majority?

We know that when Republicans win, it leads to failing schools, shuttered hospitals, and a lack of support for our rural communities. We've got to keep fighting for our democracy, for unity, and for a renewed faith in the promise of America.

But it's going to be tough.

Here in Georgia, Republicans passed a shameful voter suppression bill designed to prevent poor, elderly, rural, and non-white Georgians from voting. They used redistricting to make my seat harder to win again. And national Republicans are pouring more money than they ever have into Georgia, furious after we embarrassed them so badly last cycle.

And if we can't defend seats like mine this cycle, Democrats WILL lose the House.

But to stay on track to win in November, I need to raise $10,000 before tonight's urgent mid-month deadline. Can you split $25 between my campaign and Dirt Road PAC to defend my seat and our democracy?

If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your split donation to Dirt Road PAC and Sanford Bishop will go through immediately:

Together, we will hold the House and defend our democracy.

Respectfully,

Congressman Sanford D. Bishop, Jr.
