Fund Susan Collins' Future Opponent

We are furious, and these Senators think they are untouchable — we need to show them they are not safe. 

Back in 2018, Ady and all of us at Be A Hero had a bold message for Maine Senator Susan Collins: If you vote yes on Brett Kavanaugh, then we're going to raise money to defeat you. 

Well, thanks to you we piled up more than $4 million and she voted yes. And now, 12 points down in the polls, Susan’s feeling the full force of our small-dollar donations. 

We find ourselves at another pivotal moment. While we mourn the loss of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Mitch McConnell wasted no time committing to bring Donald Trump's appointee to a vote on the Senate floor. The Affordable Care Act, Roe v. Wade, even our democracy — it's all in jeopardy if they have their way.

That is why, once again, we are drawing a line in the sand. Starting today, we are calling on four swing state Republican Senators up for election in 2022 — Chuck Grassley, Marco Rubio, Pat Toomey, and Ron Johnson — to either vote NO on Trump's nominee for SCOTUS, or else we'll donate all of the funds we raise to their Democratic opponents in 2022.

We know that Republican Senators respond to one thing and one thing only: money. Can you pledge $20.22 right now and tell these Republican Senators not to vote for a new Justice before the election or face consequences for their actions? You will ONLY be charged IF one of these Republican Senators votes for Trump's SCOTUS pick.

The hypocrisy is nothing short of astounding. In 2016, Senate Republicans refused to vote on Merrick Garland's nomination to the Supreme Court in February — yes, FEBRUARY — of an election year. 

Mitch McConnell himself said, "The American people should have a voice in the selection of their next Supreme Court Justice. Therefore, this vacancy should not be filled until we have a new president."

It's maddening they've changed their tune with just 39 days to go until Election Day, but we're hopeful we can turn the tide. According to a new Data for Progress poll, 53% of voters believe that Republicans should wait until after the election before Trump fills the seat. 

We believe that if we can harness this frustration and anger into a real threat against vulnerable Republican senators who aren't feeling as much heat as their colleagues up for re-election this year, there's a good chance they may reconsider their position.

So Chuck, Marco, Pat, and Ron: Do you want to be the next Susan?

Pledge $20.22 to the Democratic nominees facing Marco Rubio, Ron Johnson, Pat Toomey, and Chuck Grassley in 2022. Your card only gets charged if one of the senators votes YES to confirm a new Trump SCOTUS pick. And all the money you pledge goes straight to the Democrats running against them.

This is our opportunity to show Republican Senators the strength of our grassroots movement — let's not waste it. Too much is at stake.

Thanks for joining us in this fight,

All of us at Be A Hero
