Hillary Clinton dropped the mic on Republican insurrectionists:

'The Republican Party and its mouthpieces now regularly spread hate and deranged conspiracy theories… We must hold them accountable for their words and the actions that follow.' – Hillary Clinton

Despite some big wins last November, there are still hundreds of state legislators in elected office who pose a direct threat to our democracy – some were in attendance at the Jan. 6th insurrection, others supported the Big Lie – many while advancing anti-democratic legislation and sowing the seeds of doubt into our democracy.

Here’s the truth: Anti-democracy elected officials are in positions of power and will have direct influence over deciding the 2024 election in swing states like Arizona, Michigan, and Wisconsin.

That’s why we’re reaching out – if you agree with Hillary Clinton that our democracy is at risk because of MAGA Republicans, can you donate $7 to our Stop the Insurrectionist Fund today?
