Friend --
If we're going to create a democracy that truly reflects the will of the people, Congress must pass the For the People Act.
The For the People Act is a bill that would strengthen the Voting Rights Act, expand vote-by-mail, increase funding for election security, and more. It was the first piece of legislation the House of Representatives passed in 2019, and now that there are Democratic majorities in both the House and Senate, turning it into law is a real possibility.
Add your name right now to voice your support for the For the People Act!
For two years, then Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell refused to bring the For the People Act to the Senate floor for a vote. He called the bill a "power grab," and in a sense, he was right. As its name suggests, the For the People Act is a power grab for the people.
The bill includes many common-sense policies that will strengthen our democratic institutions and foster a political system that serves all of us. It will make it easier for more people to vote (including by mail) and ensure that everyone's vote counts.
With Democratic majorities in both houses of Congress, it is incumbent on us to pass the For the People Act and send it to President Biden's desk.
I hope you'll take a moment to add your name in support of the For the People Act right now.
Thank you,
Maria Cantwell
