so I got an email from John Fetterman




So it looks like Joe Manchin is a "no" vote on the For the People Act.

I truly don't get it.

We're talking about a simple bill that the vast majority of Americans support. It's a no-brainer as Republican lawmakers across the country try to systematically disenfranchise people to rig elections in their favor.

Call me old fashioned, but I think Democrats should vote like Democrats. We don't need to be so concerned with how Republican senators will vote — we just need to vote for what's right for the American people.

Here's a promise: If I get to the U.S. Senate, I'll be 100% on board with saving our democracy. I'll never base my vote on which way I think other senators are going to go — I'll just do what I know to be right.

Without flipping more seats blue, we won't be able to toss the filibuster and get things done. That makes our race even more important. So, I'm asking for your help right now: Can you chip in your first $5 to help flip PA and save our democracy?

I am truly, truly grateful for all the support you've given our campaign so far. If millions of people here in Pennsylvania and across the country donate, volunteer, and spread the word, I'm confident we will win. And when we do, I'll go to the Senate and fight for our democracy as hard as I can. I guarantee it.

Thanks for everything,

John

I like your profile picture. I have spent most of the evening looking at cave art. It was an interesting cap on my evening to learn about a consequential mathematician.

Thanks again.
