An open letter to the U.S. Congress

Time to get to work!

1 so far! Help us get to 5 signers!

You should immediately respond to this inability of the GOP to act in good faith for the country, by allowing Trump to not be convicted of a crime he so clearly committed, starting with these objectives: You must pass H.R.1 and S.1, acting with all deliberate celerity, don't even allow for more than a day or two of discussion at most. These House and Senate bills should expand voting rights, make voting easier in numerous ways and place limits on GOP tactics, such as gerrymandering. Now that they've loaded the courts with conservative judges, Republicans are joyfully escalating these elitist tactics in numerous states and this needs to be prevented posthaste. You must be prepared to atomize the filibuster immediately when the GOP obstruct it in the Senate. This means pressure should be put on Manchin and Sinema possibly putting them both through primaries with a Democrat who would be more open to getting things done. You must work together to get the voting rights bills into law as quickly as possible. You must accept the full implications of the GOP’s ongoing and intensifying radicalization. You must be prepared to act. It's time to get things done, the country needs you to act swiftly and decisively in these areas.
