Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

People have to start paying a price for spouting this kind of irresponsible rhetoric.

Watch, nobody on the Rat side of the aisle will say a word in opposition to this demagoguery.

“This is the fight of our lives. For our climate, our health care, our jobs, our dignity under the law. Our future. We have no choice but to keep going.”
WASHINGTON – Today, Congressman Mondaire Jones (D-NY), a leading voice in the fight to protect the right to vote and save American democracy, took to the House floor to outline the path forward in the fight for voting rights after the Senate failed to reform the filibuster to pass the Freedom to Vote: John R. Lewis Act.

“Just a few years ago, democracy reform was a pipe dream embraced only by the most committed activists,” said Congressman Jones. “But thanks to an overwhelming groundswell of energy, of movement-building, of organizing, the Freedom to Vote: John R. Lewis Act passed the House, and it came just two votes short of passing the Senate. We are not going anywhere. We are more energized than ever to see this through. We must pick up Senate seats this fall to make the filibuster an impossibility.”

Congressman Jones’ full remarks are below as prepared, and video of his speech can be found HERE.

I want to thank my brother and colleague, Congressman Allred, for his leadership in the fight to protect the right to vote and to save our ailing democracy. It has been an honor working with him, with Congresswoman Terri Sewell, and with Congressman John Sarbanes over the past year on both the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act and the Freedom to Vote Act.

As you just heard, we are living through the worst assault on the right to vote since Jim Crow. And yesterday, on the Senate floor, white nationalists used the Jim Crow filibuster to block voting rights legislation.
