We have only ever had two Supreme Court vacancies closer to Election Day than we have now. Both times, the incumbent president won reelection and nominated a replacement shortly after Election Day. 53eig.ht/33GdyHP

Don’t waste your time posting on FB or texting like-minded friends. Get organized.
Target candidates in vulnerable Republican senatorial races or those who don’t support Trump. CALL THEIR OFFICES ON THE PHONE. Call them every day. Say (as politely as you can) that you request that the senate not confirm another supreme court nominee until after the next president is sworn in on January 20, 2021.
Reports say that Lisa Murkowski has already stated she WILL NOT vote for a new supreme court justice until after the next president is in office. Call her!
Lisa Murkowski: (202) 224-6665 (Hates Trump)
Mitt Romney: (202) 224-5251 (Hates Trump)
Susan Collins: (202) 224-2523 (Is going to lose anyway – so should hate Trump)
Martha McSally: (202) 224-2235 (Vulnerable)
Cory Gardner: (202) 224-5941 (Vulnerable)
We must have FOUR Republican senators who will vote against in order to save the supreme court. Don’t waste your energy complaining to McConnell.
And give a ton of money to every senate candidate we need to win an election and stay in office:
John Hickenlooper in Colorado: hickenlooper.com/
Mark Kelly in Arizona: markkelly.com/
Sara Gideon in Maine: saragideon.com/
Cal Cunningham in North Carolina: www.calfornc.com/
And McConnell’s opponent Amy McGrath, who who probably can’t win, but help her make Mitch spend and work and focus on KY
