John -- President Obama is ALL-IN on passing democracy-saving voting rights legislation. He wrote a powerful op-ed in USA Today and it's so good we have to share as much of it as possible.
First he explained the unprecedented attacks on our system of government:
| "Our democracy isn’t a given. It isn’t self-executing. We, as citizens, have to nurture and tend it. We have to work at it. And in that task, we have to vigilantly preserve and protect our most basic tool of self-government, which is the right to vote." |
| "State legislators in 49 states have introduced more than 400 bills designed to suppress votes... We’re also seeing more aggressive attempts to gerrymander congressional districts... far more aggressive and precise efforts on the part of Republican state legislatures to tilt the playing field in their favor." |
|
|
Then he laid out what the Senate MUST do:
"Legislation that ensures the right to vote and makes sure every vote is properly counted [is] how we can overcome the gridlock and cynicism that’s so prevalent right now."
(He's talking about the Freedom to Vote: John R. Lewis Act!)
"I fully support President Joe Biden’s call to modify Senate rules as necessary to make sure pending voting rights legislation gets called for a vote. And every American who cares about the survival of our most cherished institutions should support the President’s call as well." |
We couldn't agree more, John! The NDRC is working as hard as we can to support the voting rights legislation in front of the Senate. This is a turning point for democracy and we need everyone reading this on board.
