why they’re calling on you, team

Team – The Obamas are calling on grassroots Democrats like YOU to stand up for voting rights! [Michelle and Barack Obama]( “Our democracy isn't a given...we have to vigilantly preserve and protect our most basic tool of self-government, which is the right to vote.” – Barack Obama {EMAIL}’s Voting Rights Petition Record Your Signature: MISSING Petition Deadline: 11:59 P.M. on February 21, 2023 [ADD YOUR NAME]( Here’s why Barack and Michelle’s call is so urgent: The GOP’s game plan for winning elections involves suppressing as many votes as possible – and the consequences could be devastating. Team, just last year, conservatives in state legislatures across the country introduced or supported more than 408 anti-democracy voter suppression bills – with 11 of those bills becoming law in 8 states! Some on the far-right – like Kari Lake – have even called for redoing previous elections. And Republicans have already filed DOZENS of bills to restrict voting SO FAR THIS YEAR. Dem govs are leading this fight by expanding voting rights and vetoing Republican restrictions. But with the GOP now controlling the House, and the Supreme Court packed with ultra-conservative judges who have refused to intervene, our democracy is in danger like never before. That’s why Michelle and Barack Obama are pleading for grassroots Democrats to stand up and demand that voting rights be protected, but too few are answering the call! So we’re asking 10,000 of our top supporters to sign this petition demanding protection for and expansion of voting rights, but right now, we're missing your name. Please, our future is at stake, team. Add your name before midnight: [ADD MY NAME TO PROTECT VOTING RIGHTS]( --------------------------------------------------------------- We’re relying on grassroots supporters to provide us with the urgent resources we need to win nationwide.
