John Lewis and C.T. Vivian loved this country so much that they risked their lives so that it might live up to its promise. They gave all of themselves to the cause of freedom and justice, and inspired generations to follow their example. Now it’s up to us to continue the work.
As Republican legislatures across the country deliberately try to make it harder to cast a ballot, we need to keep fighting to make sure every citizen has a voice and a vote. The future of our country is at stake.

@BarackObama The filibuster is a redundancy. The system already includes multiple veto points and counter-majoritarian tools, including a bicameral legislature, a Supreme Court, and a Presidential veto. There is no intellectual justification for the filibuster. ELIMINATE. THE. FILIBUSTER.
@BarackObama I am honored to have known both of these civil rights icons.

@BarackObama John Lewis and CT Vivian are American heroes. They are the brave men who fought for American freedom. I think we should never forget the achievements they left behind.
