FU*K ALITO AGAIN!

Two years ago today, Samuel Alito and five Republican Supreme Court justices overturned Roe v. Wade. 

Writing for the majority, Alito noted, “The Constitution makes no mention of abortion.” Why would it? It makes no mention of women. Another fun fact: In his opinion, Alito frequently cites a 17th century “eminent” legal authority, Sir Matthew Hale, who sentenced two witches to death in 1662.

This November is the first presidential election since the Dobbs v. Jackson decision. The balance in both the House and Senate and the occupant of the White House may very well determine whether Congress can reverse the court, or whether it will restrict abortion rights even further.

Midwest Values PAC continues to donate to Democrats who believe in the right to abortion, whether the Constitution makes mention of it or not. I hope you can help us re-elect President Biden and Democrats up and down the ticket. Together I believe we can restore women’s right to make their own health care decisions.

Thanks!

P.S. Witches are also not mentioned in the Constitution.

Somehow, it’s been 20 years since I started Midwest Values PAC to help Democrats win elections — from progressive organizations to state legislatures to Congress to the White House — who share the values I grew up with in St. Louis Park, Minnesota.

Since 2006, Midwest Values PAC has invested more than $4 million in 341 candidates and organizations — and counting. 

Of course, none of this happens without you (or supporters like you) who care enough to pitch in.

As we mark our 20th anniversary, the work is more urgent than ever. This year, we have a big job: flip the House, take the Senate, and win up and down the ballot at the state and local level.

To mark our 20th year, we’ve set an ambitious goal: 26,000 contributions by Election Day 2026.

DONATE HERE

Thanks for being part of this fight, and for sticking with us for 20 years (or for just joining — welcome!).

P.S. Over the years, okay, decades, we’ve helped Democrats win tough races all across the country by investing early, intelligently, and strategically. That’s how you flip seats. That’s how you protect democracy. And that’s how you stop the worst impulses of a president who never should have been president in the first place.
