[ [link removed] ]Welch for Vermont
Hello,
This week, we found out that the Supreme Court is planning to overturn Roe
v. Wade. But we can overcome their extremist agenda if we make one basic
change to the Senate rules. Here’s how:
I’ve cosponsored the Women’s Health Protection Act (WHPA), which passed
the House and would codify abortion rights nationwide, no matter what the
Supreme Court does to Roe. But to get this legislation through the Senate,
we need to get rid of the filibuster—which has let the Republican minority
block critical bills like the WHPA from passing.
[ [link removed] ]We must eliminate the filibuster to protect abortion rights. Add your
name to our petition right away if you agree.
Even with Democrats holding the majority, the filibuster allows for
minority rule. Senate Republicans haven’t just filibustered the
WHPA—they’ve also filibustered raising the minimum wage, protecting the
right to vote, and passing common-sense gun safety reform.
These are broadly popular, badly needed bills that I’ve fought to get
through the House. But Mitch McConnell has been able to filibuster them to
death.
The filibuster has to go. It’s a relic that Jim Crow defenders used to
block civil rights, it still undermines our democracy, and it’s time to
abolish it.
If I become Vermont’s next senator, I will vote to end the filibuster so
we can protect Americans’ basic rights and deliver results for families.
But I can’t win this fight by myself—we all need to raise our voices.
[ [link removed] ]Add your name right away to say it’s time to get rid of the filibuster.
Thanks,
Peter
