Barack Obama and Eric Holder Cut an Ad Calling Texas & Fla. Redistricting Racist, Asking for Money

Obama: “Hey, everybody, it’s Barack. And I am here with my good friend, Attorney General Eric Holder, because we’re facing an existential threat to our democracy and we need your help.”

HOLDER: “Right now, in states across the country, like Texas and Florida, these extreme conservative politicians are announcing and acting on plans to slice and dice House districts with a goal of preserving their own power while diluting the voting power of communities of color.”

Obama: “They’re doing the same thing in Ohio, trying to give one party control over almost 90% of congressional seats.”

HOLDER: “Rather than facing their voters at the polls next year, they’re trying to silence them instead.”

Obama: “Eric and I started the end the NDRC to win fights like this. So, if you want your voice to be heard in next year’s midterm elections and beyond, help us meet this moment and preserve our democracy.”
