I wish someone would tell this brother the truth about the Freedom To Vote Act that Manchin is trying to push: All of the good parts are from John Lewis. The bad parts that we have to amend are from the Republican voter suppressionists.
Secondly, Manchin hasn’t done a thing, because he won’t end the filibuster to pass it.
And he’s blocking the Build Back Better plan in ways that are going to hurt Black people—your congregants—& other poor & low-wealth people around the country but especially in West Virginia.

Black preachers, don’t let this man use you. He’s been meeting with you, lying to you. Ask him to meet you with people in the room who know policy. I bet he won’t do it.
West Virginia preachers, don’t be fooled and don’t sell your birthright.

Manchin voted to block raising the living wage to $15/hr, which would have lifted 350,000 West Virginians out of poverty. His positions are against the agenda of the Black Caucus, the Progressive Caucus, the President, and the Bible (Isaiah 10, Matthew 25).
You are being played, bamboozled, hoodwinked, run amuck, led astray!
