In 2018, Ady Barkan and Be A Hero told Susan Collins if she voted yes on Brett Kavanaugh, that we would raise money to defeat her.
Well, Susan voted yes, and we raised $4 million to defeat her. Now, 12 points down in the polls, she’s feeling the full force of our small-dollar donations.
The Republican Party has made it perfectly clear: they want to take away our health care, ram through a right wing judge without any feedback from the American public.
They want to confirm a Supreme Court Justice who could take away the health care of millions of Americans in the middle of a deadly pandemic.
That is why 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 this warchest to their Democratic opponents in 2022.
Chuck, Marco, Pat, and Ron: think hard about the decisions you’re making right now. Do you want to be the next Susan Collins?
If you try to jam through a nominee now, first we will crush your GOP Senate colleagues in this election, and then we are coming for YOU. #YouAreNext2022

Re: Last night’s vote
We’re furious. Last night, Chuck Grassley, Marco Rubio, Pat Toomey, and Ron Johnson voted ‘yes’ on Amy Coney Barrett’s sham nomination.
Thanks to you and supporters across the country, we’ve already raised over $60,000 in pledged donations for their future Democratic opponents in Pennsylvania*, Florida, Wisconsin, and Iowa. Tonight, these pledges will be converted to contributions.
But the fight isn’t over. Not even close. We’re only just getting started.
When Susan Collins didn’t listen to us in 2018, we raised $4 million for her Democratic opponent. And now, 12 points down in the polls with one week left before the election, Susan’s feeling the full force of our small-dollar donations.
Chuck Grassley, Marco Rubio, Pat Toomey, and Ron Johnson think they’re untouchable. They helped push through a sham nomination, in the middle of an election, instead of passing a pandemic relief package for the millions of Americans in need right now.
They think just because they have powerful, wealthy donors on their side, they’ll get away with anything.
We have… us. Let’s show them that there will be a price for their incompetence.
Thanks for joining us in this fight,
All of us at Be A Hero
* Although Pat Toomey (PA) has since announced he will not be seeking re-election, he still voted ‘yes’ on Amy Coney Barrett. So we’ve decided to still donate the funds to the future 2022 Democratic nominee in Pennsylvania.

We have a plan to block Trump’s SCOTUS nominee but we're going to need your help.
It's official.
Yesterday evening, the New York Times reported that Trump will be nominating Amy Coney Barrett to replace Ruth Bader Ginsburg's seat on the Supreme Court.
Amy is a notorious, ultra-conservative judge who has been openly critical of Roe v. Wade, disagrees with the legality of the Affordable Care Act, and has aided Trump in the courts to uphold his racist, anti-immigrant agenda. We have a plan to block her confirmation but we're going to need your help.
Republican Senators respond to only one thing: money. That's why we're 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 Amy's confirmation, or else we'll donate all of the funds we raise to their Democratic opponents in 2022.
I can't emphasize enough how much of a devastating impact Amy Coney Barrett would have on the lives of millions of Americans if the Senate confirms her nomination to the Supreme Court. Everything from access to health care, gun control, LGBTQ rights, and reproductive rights is at stake in this fight.
But to make matters even worse, Trump has already admitted that one of the biggest reasons why he wants to confirm Amy before November 3rd is so he can get the Supreme Court votes he needs to fight any legal challenges related to the election. He's not even trying to hide it. Trump is stacking the Supreme Court with loyal supporters just so he can cling to power as long as he can — no matter the real results of the election.
We know that a lot of folks are furious, upset, and everything in between over the news about this upcoming confirmation battle.
But please remember: we are not powerless. If we work together these next weeks, we can make sure these four Republican Senators feel the pressure of our grassroots power. They know that this is the team that raised over $4 million to defeat Susan Collins after she voted for Brett Kavanaugh. And they know that she’s now down in the polls because of our grassroots movement.
Onward,
Ady
