In 2006, Congress voted UNANIMOUSLY to reauthorize the Voting Rights Act. It was one of the most bipartisan votes in the history of the U.S. senate; passing 98-0. Today, just 16 years later, every single Republican voted against it—including 17 members who voted for it back then
@AmoneyResists Did @GOP give reasons why they’re so against the #VotingRightsAct ? Or is my suspicion correct that they just wanna do nothing but obstruct?
@AmoneyResists @Mayoisstillspi1 Because they are only interested in holding onto power!
@AmoneyResists We must do more. WARNING:
@AmoneyResists @Mayoisstillspi1 When was Citizens United decided?
@AmoneyResists It’s in the constitution. Voting rights are in the constitution
@AmoneyResists Witness a country that has gone BACKWARDS.
@AmoneyResists @ChristopherHahn The difference...the Supreme Court said you can BE racist now...err, racism is over so voting rights don't need protection
@AmoneyResists That was enough time to get kompromat on them all. Wonder if the setup is the same for most of them?
