Jack, earlier this month, Texas Democratic leaders blocked a voter suppression bill by walking out of the Texas House to deny Republicans a quorum. Then, they flew to Washington, D.C. to demand Congress take action to protect the voting rights of all Americans.
Add your name to sign the petition thanking Texas Democrats and demanding Congress take action to protect our freedom to vote.
SIGN THE PETITION
As of June 21, 17 states have enacted 28 laws that restrict access to voting. As Republicans in red and purple states accelerate their authoritarian, anti-democratic tactics to keep themselves in power, we are grateful to see fighters like the Texas Democrats take such a bold stand.
Their plea is our plea: Congress must pass the For the People Act and the John Lewis Voting Rights Act in order to protect voting rights for all Americans and cancel the rising tide of Republican voter suppression efforts in the states.
Add your name to thank the Texas Democrats for their action to block voter suppression in Texas, and to join in their call for Congress to immediately protect our freedom to vote.
SIGN THE PETITION
Thanks for all you do,
Erin Tulley, Daily Kos
P.S. Below is an email we sent out earlier demanding Congress protect our freedom to vote:
Jack, add your name to the petition thanking Texas Democrats for taking extraordinary action to block a Republican voter suppression bill, and join their urgent plea for Congress to cancel all such voter suppression bills in the future!
SIGN THE PETITION
In protest of attacks on voting rights in Texas, a majority of Democrats in the Texas House left for Washington, D.C., denying Republicans the quorum needed to pass new voting restrictions. These Texas lawmakers arrived in D.C. where they will remain until August, urging Congress to protect our freedom to vote.
But it’s not just Texas. Across the country, our freedom to vote is currently under attack, with Republicans in 17 states passing new restrictions on voting just this year--all in support of Trump's Big Lie.
Congress must step in to put a stop to this. They cannot sit idly by while red state authoritarians seek to end democracy in our country.
Sign the petition: We support and thank the Texas Democrats for blocking Republican voter suppression in their state, and join in their call for Congress to immediately protect our freedom to vote.
SIGN THE PETITION
Thanks for all you do,
Erin Tulley, Daily Kos
