Sen. Sinema's remarks on the Senate floor today were egregious, frustrating--but not unexpected. Despite what she had to say, this is not the time for Senate Democrats to accept defeat and go home. Sen. Sinema says she wants a robust public debate – so let’s have one.
Majority Leader Schumer has a plan to bring this to the Senate floor for debate on Monday. Let’s have that debate, move forward & eventually make everyone – including Sen. Sinema – state their position for the history books. Will she choose our democracy and sacred right to vote?
Or will she choose to enable Republicans who've spent the last decade surgically targeting Black & brown voters with racist voter suppression laws, entrenching minority rule through partisan gerrymandering & turning over our democracy to corporations, the wealthy & dark $ groups?
Sen. Sinema can choose to have her picture in the history books next to Mitch McConnell, or she can choose the side of John Lewis, Martin Luther King Jr., and everyone who fought and died for our right to vote.
Sen. Sinema can choose the side of special interests, or she can choose to stand with the majority of Arizonans who support these bills and support their senators doing whatever it takes to pass them.
We know where we stand.
We know where we stand.
