Title
11/05/2022
Tweet - "If we do not learn the lessons from our past, we will be doomed to repeat our mistakes. From putting systems in place to overturn elections to discrediting the press, our country is headed down a dangerous path. Americans must march to the ballot box to save our democracy."
09/21/2022
Tweet - "Tonight, @HouseDemocrats passed the Presidential #ElectionReformAct to prevent future attacks on our elections. The hallmark of a healthy democracy is the peaceful transfer of power. We cannot allow rogue actors to twist electoral votes and subvert our democracy."
05/13/2022
Tweet - "Denying the obvious. Undermining the media. Those of us who study the history of democracies realize this is how they begin to fall. We are at a critical point in this country -- we must work beyond party politics to save our free and fair elections."
02/21/2022
Tweet - "On this day, I remember my dear friend, John Lewis. Today, on what would have been his 82nd birthday, John's impact is still felt. We must continue the fight for voting rights in his honor."
01/18/2022
Tweet - "We've amended the filibuster time and time again, including to raise the debt limit, and our country is still standing. Even if it means waiving the filibuster, the Senate must pass the Freedom to Vote: John R. Lewis Act to protect the right to vote."
01/18/2022
Tweet - "When I first met John Lewis, we were 19-year-old college students who came together in 1960 to found the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee. I'm pleased @FaithandPolitic is furthering John's legacy with this first cohort of the John Robert Lewis Scholars and Fellows."
01/13/2022
Tweet - "Today we must ask ourselves, will we uphold our oath and protect this fragile democracy? Or will we subvert the Constitution and fetter the franchise? I know where I stand. I refuse to allow our country to move backwards. Let's pass the Freedom to Vote: John R. Lewis Act."
01/11/2022
Tweet - "Voter nullification efforts are underway in state legislatures across the country. We must protect the most fundamental right in our democracy: the right to vote in free and fair elections."
12/16/2021
Tweet - "The John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act blocks attacks on voting rights before they go into effect. This is especially important when these attacks come in election years. With 2022 right around the corner, we must enact this bill into law."
12/09/2021
Tweet - "We must learn from the last administration's abuse of power & safeguard our system of government. Today the House passed the #ProtectingOurDemocracy Act to restore executive branch accountability. I urge the Senate to enact this bill, HR 1 & HR 4 to ensure our democracy survives."
10/20/2021
Tweet - "Let's call attacks on voting rights what they are: voter nullification efforts. I'm proud to support the #FreedomToVote Act and I hope the Senate will step up today and protect the voice of the people for generations to come."
10/19/2021
Tweet - "I grew up in a parsonage. One of the things I learned early is that it is not the words that matter--it is the deeds. Democrats are working hard to turn our words into the deeds by enacting @POTUS ' #BuildBackBetter agenda #ForthePeople."
10/06/2021
Tweet - "Yesterday's Senate introduction of the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act is an important step toward protecting minority voting rights, which have been under attack across the nation. I urge its swift passage to protect the most fundamental right in our democracy."
07/21/2021
Tweet - "We all have a role to play in the fight to protect voting rights. While the powerful women I joined with today are out there advocating, Congress has to do its part and get HR1 and the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act to the President's desk. #OurPowerOurMessage"
07/20/2021
Tweet - "Texas Republicans are seeking to abridge Texans' fundamental right to vote. Texas Democrats are showing Congress and the American people what's at stake. It was a privilege to hear from them today. We've got to channel their urgency and act to protect our democracy."
07/14/2021
Tweet - "Our democracy works best when every American has unfettered access to the ballot box. Thank you to the 160 companies who recognize this and are working to ensure Americans can exercise their fundamental right to vote."
07/13/2021
Tweet - "Our democracy is at a dangerous inflection point. Carving out an exception to the filibuster for constitutional and voting rights would ensure we can continue our pursuit of a more perfect union. Like @POTUS said today, "The whole world is watching.""
06/25/2021
Tweet - "Shelby v. Holder decision, 8 years ago, gutted voter protections and led to states enacting laws making it harder for communities of color to vote. We must pass the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act so every American has equal access to the ballot box. #RestoreTheVote"
06/22/2021
Tweet - "Tonight's Senate vote was only the beginning of the process. Democrats are going to keep fighting for S.1 and the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act. We will not rest until every American has unfettered access to the ballot box."
06/19/2021
Tweet - "When it comes to the fundamental right to vote, it ought not be subjected to the filibuster. Using the filibuster to subvert access to the ballot box will be disastrous for the future of our democracy."
06/16/2021
Tweet - "Our democracy is on fire & the Senate is fiddling away precious time. Fueled by the big lie, free & fair elections are being suppressed. The Senate makes an exception to the filibuster for the budget -- they ought to do the same to protect voting rights."
06/16/2021
Tweet - "Today I met the Texas state legislators who stood strong in defense of the fundamental right to vote against those seeking to subvert the will of the people. It is our responsibility to protect our democracy from all threats."
06/13/2021
Tweet - "Congress has the constitutional authority to determine how federal elections are conducted and protect the fundamental right to vote. That's what #HR1 and the John Lewis Voting Rights Act do."
06/10/2021
Tweet - "Voting rights are fundamental rights. Suppressing the vote disproportionately hurts the Black community, but let me tell you, it will hurt this entire country if it is allowed to continue."
06/07/2021
Tweet - "Senator Strom Thurmond used the filibuster to try and block the Civil Rights Act of 1957. Today, it's still an obstacle to equal access to the ballot box. The right to vote in free and fair elections must be safeguarded over all else. Without it, we lose our democracy."
