DSCC email about Alabama

crazycatlady--

Extreme right-wing candidate Roy Moore won the Republican runoff election to fill Jeff Sessions' Senate seat.

With Moore as the GOP nominee, our chances to flip this Senate seat just got stronger -- but only if we help Democratic nominee Doug Jones kick off the general election with the strongest campaign possible. Are you in?

Chip in $4 right now to elect Democrat Doug Jones and Democratic Senate candidates everywhere, starting with the Alabama Senate special election.

A recent Washington Post op-ed called Roy Moore an "alt-right hero." He's been endorsed by Steve Bannon and Breitbart, and his victory tonight sets a dangerous precedent for other extremist candidates to run in 2018.

If we help Doug win this seat, it will send an unmistakable message that Democrats can compete and win anywhere -- especially against far-right extremists. This Alabama special election is right around the corner, so let's make sure Doug has the resources necessary to compete.

We need to give Doug the strongest possible start to the general election. Chip in $4 right now to elect Doug Jones and Democratic Senate candidates everywhere:

Thanks for stepping up,

Saying a White supremacist is a hero is nauseating and terrifying.

I wonder how the Rethugs will try to suppress the vote during the election. We'll need precinct monitors at all polling stations.

The most populous counties rejected Moore and turned out for Strange!

These are the Democratic strongholds! We Get Out The Vote where the most Democrats are - and the fewest Moore supporters - and we have a chance to steal an election!

Remember the national shock when Ted Kennedy's seat went to a Republican?

The pendulum is swinging back!!!

Zoom in on his flouting of the law and the Constitution to the point of his being removed from the bench--and lather, rinse, and repeat until hell freezes over!
