This is the most important midterm election of our lifetimes. Tomorrow we have the chance to reverse course, restore decency, and put a check on this destructive president.

We need your help. To knock on doors. To make calls. To get out the vote. TO VOTE.

These are the stakes:
The GOP is determined to repeal the Affordable Care Act, and gut protections for pre-existing conditions.

They want to cut Medicare and Social Security for seniors to pay for their tax cuts for millionaires and big business.

Healthcare isn't a game; it's life and death.
While people are working, many do not make enough to get by. Those lucky enough to get a good education may still be saddled with student debt.

While your parents may have retired with dignity, it will be harder for the next generation to do so.

We must fight for our future.
Remember how this all started: A tiny inauguration, followed by a massive Women's March.

We wondered if the energy and determination to take back our country could be sustained. It has been, and women have led the way, as activists, and as candidates. They need our support.
Our planet is in trouble. If we don't act now on climate change, sea levels will soar, dangerous weather events will increase, and we will be less safe. Trump instead has chosen the profits of polluters over public health and safety.

We have the power to act. And we must.
Trump ran on draining the swamp, but he's made it a cesspool, filled to overflowing.

The scandals — and convictions — are too many to count. Manafort. Cohen. Flynn. Pruitt. Zinke. Carson. Price. Hunter. Collins.

The list goes on. We'll fight expose corruption, and fight it.
Thought we were done? We've just begun.

Emoluments. Fake Charity Donations. Trademarks. Military Jet Travel. Conflicts of Interest. So many conflicts of interest.

The GOP knows these allegations deserve investigation. Instead, they've covered them up.

Two words: Ethics Reform.
We are a nation of immigrants, who work hard to earn their success. Our country has always been a beacon of hope in a difficult world.

When our leaders build walls, or separate children from their parents, or paint all immigrants as killers, it betrays who we are.
297. That's the number of mass shootings this year. Almost one a day.

We must be stand up to the @NRA. We must reject their power over cowardly lawmakers. We must pass common sense gun safety legislation.

The stakes are too high. We must keep our families safe.
Every human being in the United States deserves to be treated with respect.

No group of people should be singled out for hate. Especially by our president.

The color of our skin shouldn’t matter, or our faith or who we love.

We are all equal under the law.
The GOP is eroding your constitutional right to vote. They're not hiding it: gerrymandering, voter suppression or intimidation.

But democracy is not about pleasing your donors & choosing your voters. It's the voice of the people, campaign finance reform & ending the gerrymander.
Trump's constant attacks on his opponents, the press and entire groups of Americans have divided us far more than any election ever could.

It has inspired hatred, fostered animus, and done nothing to bring the country together.

America yearns for a return to decency.
Vote as if your future depends on it. Because it does.

Vote as if your democracy depends on it. Because it does.

Vote as if your country depended on it. Because it does.

Vote on Tuesday, November 6, 2018.
