Our troops didn’t fight for freedom overseas only to see it stripped away here at home. 422 partisan voter suppression laws have been introduced at the state level. It's time to support our veterans @Sen_JoeManchin and #PassFTPA #DemandDemocracy

New polling shows that West Virginia voters very much support the #ForThePeopleAct So why is @Sen_JoeManchin refusing to vote for it? The time is always right to do what is right. #DemandDemocracy

Dr. King: "A minority of misguided Senators will use the filibuster to keep the majority of people from voting." This is as true today as it was 58 years ago. @Sen_JoeManchin The 14th & 15th Amendments were passed on party-line votes. #DemandDemocracy

Hey @Sen_JoeManchin did you know that many of the provisions in the legislation come from bipartisan proposals and recommendations? 70% of Americans want the #ForThePeopleAct passed, including 79% of West Virginians. #DemandDemocracy

There is a clear threat to our democracy today. 422+ partisan restrictive voting bills are being jammed through by Republicans in the States, threatening the core of free & fair elections. @Sen_JoeManchin the time to act is now. #DemandDemocracy

The 14th & 15th Amendments were passed on party-line votes. Equal protection & the right to vote. Under @Sen_JoeManchin 's logic, these shouldn’t have passed since they weren’t 'bipartisan'. Sometimes it takes 1 party to stand up. #DemandDemocracy

Just like the 1.6 commission - & as @Sen_JoeManchin has proven with his own proposal to modify the Voting Rights Act--there are not 10 Republicans willing to do the right thing and support a bill to protect every American’s #FreedomToVote #DemandDemocracy

Oh hi @JoeManchinWV did you know that the #ForThePeople is supported by the majority of West Virginians? If you are looking for partisan legislation, Joe, look at the bills passed by GOP state legislatures. Our Democracy is in peril. #DemandDemocracy

To date, @Sen_JoeManchin concerns with the #ForThePeopleAct are on process, not on substance. Process should not stand in the way of protecting the #FreedomToVote for all Americans. Inaction is not an option. #DemandDemocracy

If you believe your own words @Sen_JoeManchin that "The right to vote is fundamental to our American democracy and protecting that right should not be about party or politics." then there is NO reason to NOT support the #ForThePeopleAct #DemandDemocracy

Protecting democracy has bipartisan support among the people, even if Senate Republican politicians are hellbent on destroying democracy. @Sen_JoeManchin it should matter what your CONSTITUENTS want, not lobbyist in DC. We all want the #DemandDemocracy

Every step towards progress has been met with resistance - from ending slavery to enacting a 40 hour work week to marriage equality. And every time people of good conscience has risen to the challenge to claim freedom as our own. #DemandDemocracy

Republicans have made their backwards priorities clear: choosing party over country; Trump over democracy. That leaves Democrats with a test of their own priorities: the health of our democracy or the filibuster. #BustTheFilibuster #DemandDemocracy
