Defend Trans Constituents — Stop Capitulating to Musk's Smear Campaign

To: Sen. Peters, Rep. Dingell, Sen. Slotkin

From: A verified voter in Milan, MI

September 17

Stop conceding ground to Elon Musk's $100 million smear campaign against transgender people. When Democrats distance themselves from trans constituents in response to these ads, they don't win over Republicans — they validate the attack and make the next one more effective. Voters see the backpedaling as proof the original charge landed. The strategy behind America PAC's ad blitz is cynical and transparent. Polls consistently show that fewer than 1% of voters name transgender issues as a top concern — they're voting on housing, gas prices, and jobs. These ads exist to manufacture disgust, not reflect public priorities. A new wave of this fearmongering is already underway: https://www.erininthemorning.com/p/new-round-of-anti-trans-attack-ads Defend your trans constituents. Reject the premise of these ads directly and forcefully. Capitulation doesn't stop the attacks — it invites more of them.
