[ [link removed] ]Welch for Vermont

Hello,

Our democracy is under threat — but we have a chance right now to fight
back.

This week, Senator Raphael Warnock urged his colleagues to pass voting
rights legislation, as we have done in the House. Senate Democrats are
finally realizing that we need urgent action, this year. We must respond
to the Republicans’ wave of voter suppression.

I will do everything I can to protect voting rights. Our right to vote and
be heard is the foundation of our democracy.

In a democracy, candidates for public office should compete to see who has
the best ideas — not who can best suppress the vote.

But all year long, we’ve seen that the Republican party is all too willing
to defy the will of the people.

Over half of the Republicans in the House voted to overturn the election
of President Biden and Vice-President Kamala Harris. GOP state
legislatures have passed voting restriction after voting restriction.
These laws disproportionately target communities of color, low-income
Americans, and people with disabilities. They are more interested in power
than they are in helping people.

[ [link removed] ]We must fight back for free and fair elections. Add your name if you
agree that the Senate must protect the right to vote before the year is
over, so we can be ready to involve more people in the democratic process
in 2022, not fewer.

We need to save our democracy and make it work for working people.
Protecting voting rights is the first essential step.

Thank you,

Peter
