John, have you seen this?
It’s more clear now than ever before that the Senate is broken.
If elected to the Senate, I’ll fight to end the filibuster immediately, and I will be the 51st vote for Build Back Better, universal healthcare, confirming judges, canceling student debt, and other bold solutions that we need right now. Can you chip in to our campaign to help me get there?
Last month, the Senate failed to pass critical voting rights legislation. 52 Senators joined together to protect the archaic and racist filibuster rule, which requires a supermajority to end debate – effectively killing the bill.
Supporters of the filibuster say that it fosters debate in the “world’s greatest deliberative body,” but a new study shows that’s not even true. MSNBC reports, “Historical data shows that the filibuster largely has no effect on debate — and to the extent that it does, it appears to dampen it rather than invigorate it.”
A quick reminder: There are no Black women in the Senate. And the 48 senators who stood together to try to protect voting rights represent 34 million more people than the 52 who stood opposed. The Senate simply isn’t doing what it’s supposed to do — represent the people.
We know how high these stakes are, and we can’t risk another Senator Manchin or Senator Sinema when our civil rights are on the line. You can be certain that I’ll be a YES on getting rid of the Jim Crow filibuster rule to protect our right to vote.
That’s why I’m running — and thank you for being on our team.
Together,
Morgan
