John,

Yesterday, at the direction of Mitch McConnell, Joe Manchin, and Kyrsten
Sinema moved forward with a one-time exemption to the filibuster to raise
the debt ceiling.

That’s right, Senators Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema, who have both
previously stated that they would not support any filibuster exceptions
under any circumstances, even to protect voting rights, just made an
exception to the filibuster.

If Manchin and Sinema are going to make an exception to the filibuster
when McConnell wants to, they should be bending over backwards to make
that same exception to protect voting rights.

you're willing to make an exception to the filibuster in order to raise
the debt ceiling, you must make that same exception to protect voting
rights.

Here's the thing that many people don't want you to know: we only need 50
Senate Democrats and the Vice-President to make an exception to or even
eliminate the filibuster.

That means right now, Senate Democrats could just decide to step up and
protect voting rights and Republicans can do nothing to stop it.

Yesterday’s vote proves that the notion we can't touch the filibuster
under any circumstances is a lie, so Senate Democrats must be willing to
remove it for the number one thing we need to get done, protecting voting
rights.

Thank you for doing everything you can to push Senate Democrats to protect
voting rights.
