Yesterday, I watched Senator Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona give a speech on
the Senate floor about voting rights.
During this speech, Senator Sinema made it clear that she “strongly
support[s] and will continue to vote for” the voting rights legislation on
the Senate floor right now, while noting in the same breath that “there's
no need for me to restate my support for the 60-vote threshold” —
referencing the filibuster.
Which is it? Because you can’t have it both ways. It’s either the
filibuster, or our Democracy.
Politicians like Sinema and Rand Paul have made it clear that they
couldn't care less about our needs: they will continue using the
filibuster to block all the urgent policies our communities need if it
means pleasing their corporate donors.
What’s happening right now is an urgent reminder of why we’re rising up
this year to replace Rand Paul and expand our Democratic majority in the
Senate.

can’t afford to have senators like Kyrsten Sinema, who refuse to stand up
to the Jim Crow filibuster. It’s time for better leadership in the Senate,
and I’d be honored to represent Kentucky in the Senate with your support.

It is so wild that the filibuster is being used to block
everything. And I do mean everything
— from voting rights legislation, to codifying Roe v. Wade, to the Build
Back Better Act.
My Grandad didn’t guess the number of beans in a jar for the Senate to sit
on its hands while democracy is hanging in the balance. Voting rights are
not partisan, they’re central to everything. There is no time for excuses.
The time to act is right now.
But our lawmakers in Washington can’t seem to get anything done. We have
control of the White House and Congress; there shouldn’t even be a debate.
It’s beyond time to end it.
[ [link removed] ]When I am elected to the Senate (with
your help!), you will never have to question if I’ll vote to protect
voting rights. I always will. Because voting rights are not partisan;
they’re central to everything — and we need to act. Can I count on you to
chip in?
Thank you,
Charles
