Talking Points
Senate Democrats need our help to justify this strategy - they have to be able to say that their constituents demanded it. We need to make it clear to them that this is what we want. So YOU have to take action! Here are some bullets you can use in social media posts and emails to lawmakers.
The American people demand the following:
Senate Democrats must filibuster the confirmation process for Judge Gorsuch. We are asking them to explicitly and publicly connect the filibuster directly to our two demands. A potentially illegitimate President should not be allowed to pick a Justice for SCOTUS until all questions about his legitimacy are laid to rest.

The American people demand the following:
- A formal, independent investigation into the Russian hacking of the election and all of the former and ongoing personal, financial and political ties that Trump and his team have to Russia. This investigation must be conducted by a special counsel appointed by the Attorney General (who must recuse himself due to his close ties and long support for the President).
- The release of the five most recent years of Donald Trump’s tax returns, so that the American people can know the extent to which the President and his family are beholden to foreign governments – especially Russia.
