Before we pass single-payer health care ...

I know that the right-wing attacks against me will keep coming—because I'm not going to stop fighting to protect health care, expand Social Security, and hold the big banks accountable when they break the law. Republicans don't want to talk about my record, so they'll just dismiss me and paint me as a crazy, angry woman.

Dear MoveOn member,

Right now—at this very minute—Mitch McConnell and the Senate Republicans are still trying to find a way to rip health care away from tens of millions of Americans.

I believe that Americans are ready to make some big, essential changes to our country's health care system—including negotiating drug prices and implementing single-payer health care. But if the GOP succeeds, we'll go in the opposite direction. Many Americans will go bankrupt trying to get health care—and some will even die.

All 46 Senate Democrats and two independents are united in fighting to stop this monstrosity of a bill again and again. But let's be honest: We're hanging on by our fingernails here. If Democrats lose even one Senate seat in 2018, our fragile firewall will crack, and the worst of the Republican agenda will be rushed through Congress.

That's why I'm asking for your help, Eddie. McConnell and Donald Trump have made it clear that they'd like nothing more than for me to shut up and go home. (One right-wing Super PAC has already pledged to raise $10 million to beat us in my reelection campaign in 2018.)

MoveOn members like you have always been an important and powerful part of my team, and I need you now to help me fight back. Tomorrow night is my critical Federal Election Commission deadline—will you chip in $3 to my reelection campaign to help keep me fighting for all Americans in the Senate?

Click here to chip in to my reelection campaign for U.S. Senate, and I'll continue to fight every single day against the Republican "health care" bill, for health care for all, and for our progressive values.

If you think that I'm safe in 2018, consider this: A right-wing Super PAC ran $150,000 worth of radio ads in Massachusetts this month, attacking my work fighting for college students. I've made it pretty clear that I'm going to hold Betsy DeVos and the Department of Education accountable when they cheat students and families, so the whole thing is just nuts.

But you couldn't turn on your radio in Massachusetts this month without hearing that ad.

I know that the right-wing attacks against me will keep coming—because I'm not going to stop fighting to protect health care, expand Social Security, and hold the big banks accountable when they break the law. Republicans don't want to talk about my record, so they'll just dismiss me and paint me as a crazy, angry woman. We've seen this particular playbook used against women before.

So I'm not taking anything for granted. Not when there's even the slightest chance that my voice—our voices—could be silenced next November. Not when this week proved that one Senate seat could mean the difference between millions of people having health insurance or being told to go file for bankruptcy or die.

MoveOn members have always been the heart of my team. Will you pitch in $3 today to help my 2018 Senate reelection campaign before tomorrow night's crucial fundraising deadline?

Yes, Elizabeth! I'm in! I'll chip in to help you keep fighting.

Thank you for all you do to keep up the fight.

–Senator Elizabeth Warren
