Despite the fact that Republicans won a decided advantage in this week's midterm elections, it does not mean that they have been given a mandate by the American people. Please stand up to them and prevent them from enacting their agenda to loot and poison our natural resources, shred the safety net that protects our most vulnerable citizens, roll back the civil rights gains of the past half century, and rewrite the voting and districting rules in order to keep themselves in power regardless of the will of the electorate. Mr. President, we implore you to wield your veto power like a sword as necessary to combat their anti-labor, anti-women, anti-minority, anti-democratic, anti-American measures. No one favors gridlock or lack of progress, but moving backwards is the opposite of progress.
