55 isn’t going to cut it, Senator Manchin.

[ [link removed] ]headline Manchin open to lowering filibuster threshold to 55

You know what didn’t get 55 votes in the Senate? The bill to create a
January 6 commission to fully investigate the deadly attack on the
Capitol. Changing the filibuster from 60 votes to 55 wouldn’t have changed
that. The filibuster needs to be ended for the sake of our Democracy.

But it’s not just the January 6 commission. The For the People Act — a
historic voting rights bill to take on the GOP’s voter suppression rampage
— would STILL be stuck in the Senate if the filibuster threshold was
lowered to 55. It’s the same case with humane immigration reform,
combating climate change, getting big money out of politics, the PRO Act,
a $15 minimum wage, and gun safety reform. None of it will pass with 55
votes because the GOP obstructionists won’t allow it.

deliver for the people — that’s why voters delivered Democrats the House,
Senate, and White House. If you agree about getting rid of the filibuster,
can you make a donation today to fuel our fight for democracy?

The policies that Pramila and her Democratic colleagues in the House have
passed are overwhelmingly popular among voters across party lines, just
like the American Rescue Plan was. By ending the filibuster, we can
finally PASS them with a simple majority.

The voters who turned out in massive numbers in the general election and
Georgia runoff elections don't want Democrats to weaken our proposals in
order to get the support of a senator from a Republican party that wants
to stop us at every turn. They just want us to go big, go bold, and go
fast on the change we promised them. They want results — and we must
deliver them. Full stop.

[ [link removed] ]If you agree with us on this, please chip in $3 or
anything at all to power our fight to end the filibuster and pass critical
legislation.

In solidarity,

Team Jayapal
