John, The For The People Act (S.1) is the most comprehensive democracy protection bill in a generation. If passed, it promises to get big money out of politics, ensure our freedom to vote, and guarantee that congressional districts are drawn to give fair representation for all. But S.1 faces a critical hurdle in the Senate: the filibuster, an undemocratic, archaic rule that doesn’t exist in the Constitution or in state governments and allows just 41 senators (who could represent as few as 11.1% of Americans) to block anything -- giving a minority of senators total power over which bills Congress can pass. It has been frequently abused to block progress on civil rights legislation, and former President Obama rightly called it a “Jim Crow relic.” We need leadership at this moment to remind the Senate that this is a priority, a necessity, and we will not accept anything other than S.1’s passage. Sign if you agree: President Biden must forcefully speak out in favor of doing whatever is necessary, including ending the filibuster, to ensure that the For the People Act passes. President Biden was elected to office to improve our democracy -- and this includes ensuring every American has an equal voice and an equal vote. That is why we're calling on him to continue speaking out strongly in favor of S.1 and to urge the Senate to pass it by any means necessary. Sign the petition: Biden must speak out in favor of doing whatever is necessary to pass S.1. In solidarity, Free Speech For People |
