Received this e-mail today from U.S. Senator Jeff Merkley (D. OR) in support of Doug Jones’ (D. AL) U.S. Senate campaign:
Roy Moore does not belong in the U.S. Senate.
To say his views are extreme is putting it too politely. He is the former Alabama Chief Justice who repeatedly refused to follow federal court orders, questioned whether President Obama was born in America, and claimed the September 11attacks were a punishment from God.
But the latest accusations, of his predatory actions against multiple children, are absolutely sickening.
Roy Moore is refusing to step aside, so that means we need to stop his campaign in its tracks.
Please chip in $3 right now to Doug Jones, Roy Moore's Democratic opponent.
Doug Jones is a relentless fighter for justice. He is a former U.S. Attorney who won convictions against KKK members for bombing and killing four young African-American girls in an Alabama Baptist church. In the Senate, he will be a voice for affordable health care, for a clean and healthy environment, for equal rights for all Americans, and for living-wage jobs here in America.
I won't sugarcoat things: Alabama's tough territory for Democrats. But the latest polls show that Doug Jones and Roy Moore are tied. This race is going down to the wire. We could be in for a historic win.
Donald Trump and the far right are counting on Roy Moore to be a crucial vote for their agenda. They're also hoping we sit this one out.
Let's make sure Doug Jones has the funds to win Alabama's special election in a few weeks: please chip in $3 right now.
For our children and future, this is a fight we must win.
Onward,
Jeff
