Our Democracy is in Grave Danger!

I read 4 articles over the weekend claiming that the Senate Republicans' refusal to pass the January 6th Commission puts our democracy in peril! I will post the links below. But here's what happened - 54 Senators voted for the establishment of the Commission (including 5 Republicans - Romney, Collins, Murkowski, Portman, Sasse). 35 Senators voted against it. (ALL Republicans!) 11 did not vote at all (including 2 Democrats - Sinema and Murray (WA) ). DUE TO THE FILIBUSTER STILL BEING IN EFFECT, MINORITY RULED and the commission was NOT established! I don't know about you, but that is not democracy in my book!

It's important to understand that this was likely a dress rehearsal for a coup not far down the road. We cannot let the Republicans off the hook for a second on this. And after Mike Flynn's comment this weekend that a Myanmar type coup "should happen here", we need to take this seriously!

WE MUST END THE FILIBUSTER. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE CALL OUR SENATORS TODAY AND SAY: "I want the Senator to publicly support abolishing the Senate filibuster. There will be no progress in the current Senate. We have to abolish the filibuster to break the gridlock that keeps us from enacting the important legislation needed to secure our democracy. Thank you!"

We cannot let the vile Republican minority in the Senate continue to block Biden's agenda! Make those calls every day, until the filibuster is gone.

If you cannot call, then use Resistbot. Simply text SIGN PDZLVX to 50409. Then follow the prompts.

Since most of you are not fully engaged in our activism right now, this is a way to take an important action with very little effort. It could not be more important!

Is America’s Democracy Slipping Away?

A bipartisan January 6 commission is probably dead. Democrats have a backup plan.
