Hi John, I want to know
what you think.

On Sunday, Senator Joe Manchin of West Virginia
announced that he won’t support the For the People Act. The bill
would reverse laws passed by state Republicans to limit early and
mail-in voting and would force major-party candidates for
president and vice president to release 10 years’ worth of
personal and business tax returns.

Senator Manchin vowed never to end the filibuster
rule in the Senate that would allow for a simple majority to pass
legislation. He seems to be hoping that compromise and moderation
can magically return to the Senate, but in my view, these hopes
and dreams are getting in the way of essential progress.

But I want to know what you think. Is Senator
Manchin protecting democracy or standing in the way of voting
rights for citizens? Fill out our survey so I can hear from you.

GIVE YOUR THOUGHTS

Senator Manchin’s announcement gives me concern.
He is talking about the importance of voting rights, but his
actions are delaying protections from being implemented. He’s
stopping some of the most important reforms that are needed, and
he isn’t able to force Republicans to the table on a watered-down
version of the bill.

We all want the Senate to work, but Republicans
have shown time and time again that they aren’t interested in
bipartisan voting rights. In fact, Republicans' long-term success
hinged on them excluding certain populations of people from
voting rather than convincing the majority of Americans they have
the best plans for the future.

Do you think the Senate should get rid of the
filibuster to pass legislation by majority-vote? I want to hear
from you. ( [link removed] )

Thanks for your input,

Hank Johnson
