Protecting the voting rights of all Americans & securing our democracy aren’t “Both Sides” concepts. Either you are for or against. We can’t hinge the security of our democracy on the whims of McConnell & crew when they have shown that their priority is power 1st & only. 1/x
There is only one party in this country that has offered over 350+ bills in 48 states to limit & encumber the right to vote for some Americans. There is only one party that is attempting to change the standards by which the courts review elections. 2/x
Across the nation, the GOP is cutting hours of voting; reducing precincts in minority communities; giving partisan legislatures the authority to overturn non-partisan election officials; & criminalizing giving someone a damn bottle of water who is standing in a voting line. 3/x
Republicans have even sunk so low to authorize politic goons that refer to as poll watchers to go to precincts in an attempt to intimidate voters. They need to understand this … we won’t be intimidated! We won’t back down from exercising our rights! 4/x
This issue is not a negotiation like whether the infrastructure bill is 900 billion or 1 trillion. This issue defines who we are as a nation. I will always stand up for the voting rights of all Americans regardless of their party, ideology or background. 5/x
Our vote is the great equalizer. Because with our single vote, a poor factory worker has the same power as his billionaire CEO. Let’s be clear, there will be no democracy to safeguard if we fail to protect the underpinnings of that democracy… our right to vote! #WeWontGoBack
