As GOP Senators try to explain why they don’t think #VotingRights are important, sharing here what each tweeted on #MLKDay
Find yours to retweet.
#MLK : “Our most urgent request to the president of the United States & every member of Congress is to give us the right to vote.”
But first, this message from, @BerniceKing
‘Please share this quote from my father #MLKDay2022 :
“I think the tragedy is that we have a Congress with a Senate that has a minority of misguided senators who will use the filibuster to keep the majority of people from even voting.”
You know what light would drive out the darkness for MLK and for your Constituents, @SenJohnBarrasso?

I was in the room where it happened when Susan Collins threw her support by Kavanaugh. Just before she spoke, in come a cluster of GOP congressmen - ones that all look like they’re over 100 - & sit behind her like vultures. My first thought was, ‘peer pressure from Cryptkeepers’
But, they know where the cameras are in the Senate Chamber and clearly carefully positioned the visual for a speech about accepting a Supreme Court Judge who had been accused of sexual assault - not investigated- drawing thousands of protesters from across the country. #MeToo
About 2 minutes into her speech, we saw where it was going and got up and stomped out as loudly as we could without getting arrested - they had already arrested some of her Maine constituents. Senator Collins glanced up as we exited.
(Hear at about 1.50 )

More than 425 bills restricting voting access were introduced in 49 STATES in the 2021 legislative sessions.
At least 88 additional restrictive bills in 9 states will carry over to the 2022 legislative sessions.
We need the #FreedomToVoteAct and the #JohnLewisVotingRightsAct now! Image
America wants fair voting laws in their State. The #FreedomToVoteAct and #JohnLewisVotingRightsAct will make that possible.

Here's State-by-State postcards of all the House GOP members who voted against certifying the election AFTER the mob attacked the Capitol to try to prevent the certification. And/or voted against investigating the #January6th attempted coup.
I tagged them all.
Retweet your State.
But first here's a postcard of the 8 GOP SENATORS who voted to overturn the Election AFTER the violent assault on the Capitol.
#January6th
#SeditionCaucus #SeditiousGOP
@SenRickScott @RogerMarshallMD @SenJohnKennedy @HawleyMO @SenTuberville @SenHydeSmith @SenTedCruz @SenLummis
ALABAMA @RepJerryCarl @RepBarryMoore @RepMikeRogersAL @robert_aderholt @repmobrooks @USRepGaryPalmer all voted to overturn the 2020 Election and/or against investigating the insurrection. They are not pro-Democracy and should not be in Congress. #SeditionCaucus #SeditiousGOP

I did a THREAD of those laws, State-by-State, with Postcards.

ALABAMA. Banned Curbside voting, shortened time to apply for a mail-in ballot & threatens felony prosecution to local officials who supply ballot without a request
And, Secretary of State & 3 probate judges (who require no formal training) will conduct audit after 2022 election.
ARIZONA
Shifted election litigation control from Secretary of State (currently a DEM) to AG (currently GOP).
Another threatens local officials w/ felony for providing mail ballots to voters unless they request.
Also made it harder to stay on PEVL (Permanent Early Voting List)

Faces & Districts of the 185 House Members of Congress who either voted to try & overturn the Election or against a January 6th Commission. They voted against Democracy. #SeditionCaucus #SeditiousGOP #PostcardsforAmerica
I did a THREAD with a Postcard w/ the Reps for each State.
But first, here's a postcard of the 8 GOP SENATORS who voted to overturn the Election AFTER the violent assault on the Capitol by Trump supporters. Do not forget them. They do not represent you or believe in preserving our Democracy. #SeditionCaucus #PostcardsforAmerica
Oh, & here's a postcard of the 185 House Members of Congress who either voted to try & overturn the Election or voted against a January 6th Commission. They voted against Democracy. Do not forget. They should not be in Congress. #SeditionCaucus #SeditiousGOP #PostcardsforAmerica
