Desk. Every single senator in the Democratic Congress and in our caucus here in the senate is cosponsoring the for the people act. Senator merkley, senator merkley and my companion bill the h. R. 1, for the people act, but it is very deep in the leaders legislative graveyard. Over the course of the last year, as the for the people act has languished, tens of millions of dollars were spent, much of it in secret, to influence the policymaking process. Almost half a dozen states passed new laws restricting voter rights. The u. S. Supreme court gave the green light to political gerrymandering, and President Trump has with his own properties dozens of times funneled millions of taxpayer dollars into his own pocket. Yet, the Republican Senate is silent, sigh length as silent as our democracy faces a crisis like none we have ever seen in our lifetimes.
