Today’s Action: Let’s flip a U.S. Senate seat in Mississippi! (Seriously)
Of all the states we were expecting a runoff election for U.S. Senate, Mississippi certainly wasn’t an obvious choice. But, this isn’t a joke. On Election Day, less than one-percent separated the top two candidates, sending them to a run-off one week from tomorrow.
Since the votes came in, things have only gotten worse for the Republicans with GOP candidate Cindy Hyde-Smith exposing saying she’d attend a public hanging in the front row. And then refused to apologize.
Mississippi has the distinction of being the state that lynched more Black Americans than any other. Hyde-Smith seeks to represent more than a million Black Mississippians who live with both the past and present terror of these brutal acts of violence. It should be unacceptable.
On November 27, Mississippians will decide if it is. The race between Hyde-Smith and Democrat Mike Epsy, and Espy has a chance to follow Doug Jones path to the Senate in Alabama last year.. But, he needs our help to rally voters for one more election!
Mike Epsy is the Democrat Mississippi – and all of us – badly need in the Senate. He is pro-choice and anti-Wall, and supports strong healthcare through expanding Medicaid and CHIP.
Hyde-Smith is disgracefully in-line with Trump: an opponent of protections against gun violence, an anti-immigrant loony with a promise to elect judges who trample women’s rights. She also actively participates in the anti-Semitic lies about George Soros, and has made “jokes” about suppressing the vote of liberal college students.
We need Epsy in the Senate – and we need to work hard to keep Hyde-Smith out. Our deadline is November 27…so don’t delay in signing up to make calls for Epsy!
PS — Please don’t forget to sign the petition demanding investigation of the Trumps’ illegal ties to the Saudi Royal Family, and check out the brilliant “Don’t Think of an Elephant” by George Lakoff — a quick read that contains the ultimate keys for Democrats to win elections — and arguments.
