Hi John --
The Republican Party knows that its future success doesn't depend on policies or principles that help the average American live a better life -- their future depends on suppressing the vote and rigging the system to win elections while a shrinking minority of the country supports them.
So it comes as no surprise that earlier this week, Senate Republicans led by Mitch McConnell launched an all-out assault on S.1, the For the People Act.
The For the People Act is one of the Democrats' top priorities this Congress. It will fundamentally change our system of elections and allow more Americans to participate in our democracy. These protections are vital to ensuring that people of color in particular are not vulnerable to voter suppression tactics.
Mitch McConnell and his Senate allies also know that if this bill becomes law, it could be a death knell to the Republican Party as they know it.
That's why Sen. McConnell is using Senate procedural rules to distract from the passage of the whole bill, hoping that Democrats might give up eventually. The self-appointed Grim Reaper of the Senate is trying to kill this bill -- we cannot let that happen.
