John xxxxxx --

The filibuster does not appear anywhere in the Constitution.

But to hear Mitch McConnell and his Republican cronies talk about it, you’d think it was an unassailable principle of American democracy.

It’s not. It’s just an antiquated, Jim Crow-era relic designed to allow a minority of Senators to block progress.

Thanks to the Senate filibuster, not a single Republican had to go on record to say whether they supported the For the People Act this week. Instead, Mitch McConnell prevented it from even coming to a vote.

It’s time to reform the filibuster and save our democracy.

If you agree, add your name to call on the Senate to reform the filibuster and pass the For the People Act immediately. [[link removed]]

For decades, McConnell and those who would seek to stop Americans from exercising their right to vote have abused the filibuster in order to keep their grip on power.

No more. We can’t allow a minority of U.S. Senators to stop us from protecting American democracy.

Add your name to my petition if you agree we must reform the filibuster to save our democracy >> [[link removed]]

Keep the faith,

Hakeem
