Four years of the Trump Administration was awful. The last two years of the Biden Administration have been way better, but the legislative goals of the 50 seat 2021 Democratic Senate have been limited by a significant number of “no” votes cast by Democratic Senators Manchin and Sinema. It’s now time to elect a 52 seat minimum 2023 Democratic U.S. Senate majority, that will overcome the past poor performance of Senators Manchin and Sinema. A new 52 seat 2023 US Democratic Senate Majority, will be able to push through all the things a majority of Democrats want, including voter rights, free and fair election laws, free choice for abortion, Ukraine support, and improvements in the economy, immigration policy, citizen freedoms, climate change mitigation, environmental issues, and more.
Most importantly, a 52 seat Democratic Senate majority is needed to save our democracy, which is in peril of degrading into an autocracy, as Republican politicians attempt to degrade our system of voter rights and free and fair elections. If the US government strays away from being a robust democracy, U.S. citizen majorities will never again be able to get what they want (like in the list in the paragraph above) via voter activism and getting out the vote in a free and fair election. If we lose our democracy, the US will become just another corrupt non-democratic country, with government policy controlled by the government officials elected during, unfair and rigged (sham) elections. Naturally and unfortunately, corrupt government officials will be guided in their government policy decisions by what improves their lives and their success in future elections, and not guided by what improves our lives. Additionally, all reviews of history indicate that a robust democracy always produces citizens that are happier, better paid, and have more freedoms, than citizens of an autocracy or dictator controlled country, where freedoms are restricted and censorship is enforced. Also, in all cases, the economies of democracies significantly outperform the economies of autocracies or dictatorships (makes since right?)
The list below (same names as the donation form/list to right) shows 10 very close/critical 2022 Senate races, that deserve our attention and adequate funding. All predictions for the new 2023 US Senate indicate that only a slight Democratic majority or only a slight Republican majority will be achieved, so, it is critical that the Democrats win every seat possible in order to attain at least a 52 seat Democratic Senate majority. The numbers in the list below (to the right of each Democratic candidates name) indicate the Real Clear Politics calculated point spread (candidate vs opponent) for each race as of 10/25/22.

Today you can vote for a 52 seat 2023 Democratic Senate Majority via donation(s). The attached donation form (to the right) will allow you to quickly and easily make one donation, which will be split evenly between the 10 Democratic US Senate candidates listed below.

Even a $5 or $1 donation to each candidate ($50 or $10 for the 10 races) helps significantly, as thousands (or millions) of others back you up, join in, and donate to our common cause. In all cases, it gives you a great feeling of accomplishment, when the candidate you support wins, takes office, contributes to government changes, and makes this world a better place for us all.
Also, [very important] before November 8, when you are getting ready to vote by ballot (still mostly free and fair), don’t forget to help get out the vote by reminding your friends and relatives do the same.
