Action: We Deserve A President Who Protects Us From COVID

 

WE DESERVE A PRESIDENT WHO PROTECTS US FROM COVID

Background

Joe Biden will protect us from COVID. He has a pandemic plan. He wears a mask. He has socially distant election events. Joe Biden’s response to COVID embodies the love and respect he has for all of America.

Trump lays ill in a hospital, infected by a deadly virus he mocked. Trump deliberately downplayed the virus - 200,000+ are dead. Trump benefits from government sponsored healthcare while vowing to take healthcare away from so many of us.

Democrats in Congress protect us from COVID. The Democrat-led House passed two COVID relief bills – to help us with medical care, unemployment, food, housing.

Mitch McConnell’s GOP-majority Senate refuses to pass COVID relief, leaving us all in peril. Even as GOP Senators fall sick from COVID, McConnell abandons his duty, determined to ram through a Supreme Court nominee who will rip our healthcare away in the middle of a pandemic.

We must protect ourselves. We must call Congress, insist the Senate pass COVID relief and stop a Supreme Court confirmation unIl the next inauguration.

We must protect ourselves. We must Get Out The Vote for Democratic wins across the board. Call Congress NOW. Make your voting plan NOW. Get Out The Vote NOW.
