Received this e-mail today from U.S. Senate Minority Leader Dick Durbin (D. IL) in support of his colleagues, U.S. Senators Bob Casey, Jr. (D. PA), Tina Smith (D. MN) and Jon Tester’s (D. MT) re-election campaigns:
President Trump has relentlessly attacked the institutions of our democracy. He has systematically undermined the free press, federal judges, and even his own Justice Department.
But the most important institution of all -- the American people -- are pushing back and making a difference. And that’s what gives me hope.
When we stand up and make our voices heard, we can make a real impact. That’s why I’m asking you to support Democrats across the country who will defend the institutions that are the core of our democracy.
Tina Smith, Bob Casey, and Jon Tester are running in tough races and today is an important end-of-month fundraising deadline for them. Contribute directly to their campaigns now to win back a Democratic majority in Congress and defend our democracy.
In the face of Trump’s reckless attacks, the Republican majority in Congress has been largely silent.
If we want to make progress to repair the damage done by the Trump administration, we will have to take back Congress come November. Contribute to Tina Smith, Bob Casey, and Jon Tester today to win back the Senate.
Even in the most difficult times, the commitment of Americans like you to defending our values gives me hope.
My best,
Dick Durbin
