Fwd: Republicans just went nuclear

Tom's message on Gorsuch's confirmation

Pitch in whatever you can to help Democrats take back the Senate in 2018: DONATE Friend -- When Republicans couldn't get 60 votes to confirm Neil Gorsuch, they should have gotten a new nominee. Instead, they changed the rules. I'm with Tom -- it's high time to get Donald Trump's Republican allies out of the Senate and elect a Democratic majority that won't appease his anti-working family agenda. But we can't do it without you. Chip in $10 or more and let's take back the Senate: DONATE Thanks, Keith ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Sender: Tom Perez Date: Thu, Apr 6, 2017 Subject: Republicans just went nuclear Friend -- Senate Republicans just went nuclear. And the American people are their collateral damage. When the Senate gaveled in this morning, Neil Gorsuch did not have the 60 votes needed to be confirmed to the Supreme Court. But rather than changing the candidate and finding someone worthy to sit on the Court -- someone who isn't indebted to corporations or billionaire backers, someone who believes in protecting the rights of workers, women, and LGBT people -- they decided to invoke the "nuclear option" and confirmed him to a lifetime appointment on a 51-vote Republican majority. If you're asking yourself "can they really do that?" -- the answer is yes, they can and they just did. Frankly, I've had enough of Republicans abusing the power of their majority -- so let's throw them out. Pitch in $10 or whatever you can to help elect Democrats and take back the Senate.
