TURN CONGRESS BLUE! Or face more obstruction, fewer basic rights!


Are you looking forward to our gov't FINALLY getting the POSITIVE work done that had been blocked by the GOP? 


Or do you want MORE YEARS of OBSTRUCTION 2 POSITIVE POLICY 4 our country?

The current Senate, has a 54 seat Republican majority. 

Democrats need to gain five seats in order to a have a majority in the Senate.

The assumption six months ago was that it would be easy for the Democrats to gain a majority in the Senate since there are 24 seats currently held by Republicans up for election compared to only 10 seats currently held by Democrats. Current surveys indicate that there are approximately 8 Republican battleground (close contest) seats. There is only one Democratic seat that is also a battleground state (Nevada). (Refer to Cook Political Report-Senate Race Ratings)


The race for the Democrats to gain five seats is closer than it seemed six months ago. Why?

Given the very weak position of the Republican presidential candidate, the Koch money network announced months ago that they would funnel their vast resources to Senate and House seats. Since the Citizens United Supreme Court decision and the Federal SpeechNOW decision created the likelihood that very wealthy corporations and individuals are contributing many billions of (dark) dollars to the attack ad media campaigns, the unexpected competitiveness of the race for the Senate majority is probably due to the result of corporate and individual wealth defending their economic positions by trying to buy a Republican majority Senate.

The importance of a Senate majority is, of course to pass or defeat legislation generally speaking, but ALSO to approve new members for the Supreme Court

A Democratic Senate Majority would likely approve a Supreme Court that could:

  • reverse Citizens United and other decisions heavily advantaging the wealthy and powerful AND 
  • protect or extend rights decisions like those affecting civil rights, voting, etc., and, of course, Roe v. Wade.
