It's official, respected friends. Mitch McConnell has given us our fighting words for 2017:“She was warned. She was given an explanation. Nevertheless, she persisted.” When he tried to silence Elizabeth Warren for using her voice, for giving power to Coretta Scott King’s letter, he sent a message to ALL Democrats. We will keep marching, flooding the Capitol switchboards with phone calls, and showing that when it comes to our values we will NOT sit down and shut up. And with this sticker you can put that fighting spirit on full display (and make Mitch McConnell eat his words)! Just chip in $5 or more right now (shipping included) >> The courage Elizabeth Warren demonstrated on the Senate floor is what we need to have on full display every day. There’s too much at stake to be quiet. So please, donate $5 or more now to show Elizabeth Warren and Senate Democrats you’ll have their back in the fights ahead (and we’ll ship your sticker for free)! Thank you, Catherine Algeri, Team DSCC P.S. If you’ve already placed an order for a sticker, we are processing your request and look forward to sending it to you. If you’d like to order another sticker before our order is placed, click here. A quick note on donations, friends: We're hard at work readying resources for the fight ahead -- and with 99% of our contributions coming from grassroots Democrats giving under $200, your support could not be more important to our efforts. Please consider a contribution of any amount today. We can elect a Senate that will protect our values from right-wing extremists, but only if supporters like you have our back. Contribute |

Respected friends,
In this challenging time for America, we simply can't let the Right's dangerous extremism become normalized by having it go unanswered.
That goes for the theft of a Supreme Court seat by Mitch McConnell and Senate Republicans via their unprecedented blockade against Merrick Garland. That goes for Trump's repeated attacks on our Constitution. And that goes for Republican senators' outrageous silencing of Elizabeth Warren during the debate on Jeff Sessions in order to ram through his confirmation as attorney general.
26,000 people have already joined our petition to denounce Republican senators' attack on Sen. Warren.

Earlier Message:
STJEPAN,
Last night, Senate Republicans misused a rarely enforced senate rule (Rule XIX) to SHUT DOWN criticism of Trump attorney general nominee Jeff Sessions by Sen. Elizabeth Warren.
It was a shocking power play by Mitch McConnell and his fellow Republicans to SILENCE DISSENT within the chamber in their effort to steamroll opposition to Sessions and ram through his confirmation.
Sen. Warren read a quote from the late Sen. Ted Kennedy in 1986, when Sessions was rejected by the majority Republican Senate for a federal judgeship, in which Kennedy called Sessions a “throwback to a shameful era.”
Then, Warren began to read a letter from Coretta Scott King that was submitted to the Senate in opposition to Sessions’ 1986 nomination, which stated that Sessions had "used the power of his office as United States Attorney to intimidate and chill the free exercise of the ballot by citizens" and "to intimidate and frighten elderly black voters." At that point, Sen. Warren was interrupted and reprimanded.
Republicans then upheld the rule violation with a 49-43 party-line vote, sidelining Sen. Warren from the rest of the debate and barring her from speaking on the Senate floor until the final vote on Sessions takes place.
This is outrageous.
This inappropriate enforcement of this Senate rule is both extreme and hypocritical.
All Sen. Warren was doing was quoting a former senator and reading from a letter by the widow of Martin Luther King that had already been in the Senate’s own records.
By McConnell’s purported interpretation of this Senate rule, any time a sitting senator is nominated to an executive branch position or court seat, no other senator in the constitutional advise-and-consent process could ever criticize or make a case against that nominee using damaging evidence from the nominee’s own record.
And, in a statement calling out McConnell’s move, Minority Leader Schumer cited these examples of when Republican senators had recently “impugned” their colleagues far worse than Sen. Warren’s accurate reading of others’ quotes about Jeff Sessions:
Sen. Schumer noted, "If the average American heard someone read a letter from Coretta Scott King ... they would not be offended."
Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) tweeted, “It is demeaning to the memory of Coretta Scott King and harmful to the process for the Republicans to silence @SenWarren. #LetLizSpeak"
Republicans need to hear loud and clear that Americans are watching and we do not accept their shameful abuse of power.
Thanks for speaking out!
