“But the doomsday articles always seem to ignore the hundreds of millions of Americans who will not watch passively as democracy dies.” RH
“The refusal of prominent Republicans to accept the outcome of the 2020 election, and the anti-democratic laws adopted (or approaching adoption) in Arizona, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Montana and Texas—and under serious consideration in other Republican-controlled states—violate these principles.” New America, ‘Statement of Concern’, June 1, 2021
Robert, I really do greatly benefit from your consistent statements of calm, hope and support, however, it does appear that millions of Americans are passively watching!
We need an immediate and concerted effort to convince Democratic voters in Arizona and W. Virgina to change Sen. Sinema's and Manchin's position.
Their constituents MUST TELL them to support SR1 - For the People Act and the John Lewis Voting Rights Act even if it means ending or modifying the rules of the Filibuster.
I reached out to "Joe The Democrat" at PostCardsToVoters.org. I received a response from "Mandy The Democrat" who wrote "what [I am] suggesting is out of our realm."
I called the W. VA Democratic Party but their "voice mail is full." So I volunteered and made a small donation. My guess is what I'll get for my effort is a slew of unwanted emails asking for money rather than effort. I've also reached out to ActBlue but I expect the same.
So, does anyone here know if an organization that will contact Democratic voters in AZ and WVA to tell Senators Sinema and Manchin to support SR1- For the People Act and the John Lewis Voting Rights Act even if it means exempting or ending the filibuster???
For far too long Americans have ignored the truth. Republicans have always attempted to rig the system. It began with gerrymandering and now it's going into voters rights. They are blatantly attempting to strip some Americans of their rights. This current GOP party is by far not a party that represents this country or its people. It is a party of greed, selfishness, with a strong desire for control and absolute rule. Singular power! Autocrats, that's what they all are in today's current Republican party.
Trump exposed the deep dark secret that lived in our government.
They hide behind the words conservative values and Christian values. They have no desire to allow the United States to continue on a progressive path of leadership. They would prefer to isolate us in nationalism and control the wealth.
Americans need to wake up and face the reality that there's a coup in progress and if we don't stand up and take action we will lose this great nation.
Corrected the date of Melanie Stansbury's election victory to June 1st, not November 1st.
