A crisis of leadership

I was by President Obama's side in the White House during times of great crisis, and despite the many daunting challenges we faced, I was always confident in the fact that our nation was in capable hands.

Friend, I was by President Obama's side in the White House during times of great crisis, and despite the many daunting challenges we faced, I was always confident in the fact that our nation was in capable hands. I miss that feeling. Our current situation makes it clear that we need steady, measured leadership in the Oval Office. I saw what that could look like firsthand when I worked with President Obama to manage crises such as the H1N1 pandemic, the BP Oil Spill, and the Zika and Ebola epidemics. President Obama always led by listening to experts, working with mayors and governors of both parties as well as all state and local elected officials on the front lines, and bringing the world together around common goals. He listened to the needs and advice of a wide range of partners who could lend their expertise or show him impacts on the ground. It's clear that the only way we can have that type of leadership again is by putting a Democrat in the White House and electing Democrats down the ballot. We're running out of time to build the infrastructure that our nominee and Democrats nationwide will rely on to win in November, so I'm asking you: Will you make a $7 contribution to the DNC today to help elect leaders we can depend on? DONATE: $7 DONATE: $10 DONATE: $25 DONATE: $50 DONATE: $100 Donate another amount President Obama left office having put in place a White House pandemic response unit, an international climate change agreement, and access to health care for millions more Americans. While the Trump administration has tried to dismantle all three, this crisis has reminded us why good government matters, and why it's important for elected officials to do their work with honesty, integrity, and compassion. This year, we have Democratic candidates on ballots all across the country ready to work passionately for their communities, and we need to help elect them to ensure that we're ready to build a better world when this is done. Our only choice in this critical moment is to do everything we can to build a strong party that's capable of electing Democrats nationwide, from the school board to the White House. We can't do that without you, so I'll ask again: Will you donate $7 today to the Democratic National Committee so we can get to work for Democratic candidates up and down the ballot? This important work depends on you.

An important dissent from Justice Kagan

And what All On The Line is doing about it.

This past June, the Supreme Court -- headed by Chief Justice John Roberts and filled with conservative-leaning justices like Brett Kavanaugh -- ruled that the federal courts cannot, and would not, limit partisan gerrymandering. In her dissent, Justice Elena Kagan wrote that: "For the first time in this nation's history, the majority declares that it can do nothing about an acknowledged constitutional violation." Unlike the conservative majority, we didn't just stand by and do nothing.

All On The Line has been been working in each and every one of our target states to put an end to gerrymandering. As President Obama said, this decision has made the work at the state and local level that much more important. And A.G. Holder agrees:

---

We're now going to have to go state by state to protect people's voting rights.
-- Eric H. Holder, Jr.

---

And we're doing just that. Since the federal courts won't stop partisan gerrymandering, we're tailoring our organizing to stop map manipulation in the states. We have staff in place and we've built plans for each of our target states, but we need our supporters to make their voices heard.

Add your name to demand that every justice on the Supreme Court upholds their constitutional duty to protect voting rights.

President Obama asked for your support

Did you see this email from him about fair maps and fair elections?

Diane -- As President Obama said, at its core, the fight for fair maps is a fight for voting rights. That's why our team knows that our advocacy efforts have to include protecting our elections. Fair maps and fair elections go hand-in-hand.

President Obama asked you to support All On The Line's work to protect our elections. Will you step up and donate today?

We need safe, fair, and accessible elections. And what happened in Wisconsin's recent election proves that map manipulators will do anything necessary to prevent that. It's up to people like us to hold them accountable.

-- John Bisognano

Friend,

Everyone should have the right to vote safely. And we have the power to make that happen -- but as we saw in Wisconsin's election this month, we are fighting against forces who are willing to use the tragedy of a pandemic to compromise our democracy.

At its core, the fight for fair maps is a fight for voting rights. And if we want to protect the integrity of the 2020 election, we need to break down structural barriers and support initiatives like voting-by-mail, online voter registration, and expanded early voting.

We need your support, friend. The All On The Line team is now dedicating resources to protecting our elections to make sure we are in a good position to end gerrymandering next year. Can I count on you to make a donation to All On The Line to help make this work possible?

Access to safe voting shouldn't be a partisan issue. But map manipulators know that when folks cast votes in down-ballot elections this year, they'll be determining who will have the power to draw electoral maps next year.

If you want to make a difference in this fight, here are three ways you can get started: donate to All On The Line's grassroots work, learn about your state's voting process, and commit to vote in November in the safest way possible.

DONATE

As always, thank you and stay safe.
Barack Obama

Which conservative said it?

The absentee ballot is "more of a political issue than it is anything."

"We are fighting against forces who are willing to use the tragedy of a pandemic to compromise our democracy." -- President Barack Obama

The AOTL team is fighting to protect democracy. Our network has contacted Congress 15,000 times to call on them to: → expand vote-by-mail → expand voter registration → provide safe and healthy polling places → increase voter education But conservatives are resisting calls to #ProtectTheVote...

Missouri Governor Mike Parson: The absentee ballot is "more of a political issue than it is anything." Georgia State House Speaker David Ralston: "The president said it best -- this will be extremely devastating to Republicans and conservatives in Georgia." Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton: Voters cannot cast ballots by mail just because they are afraid of getting the coronavirus at polling places.

We'd like to reach Congress another 15,000 times this month to fight back against conservative obstruction, but our tools require funding. We're looking for a strong showing of support from grassroots donors in Montross today to boost our efforts. Can you pitch in?
