American democracy is being threatened by extremists who deny that we the people should choose our own representatives. Since the January 6th Insurrection, supporters of former President Trump’s election lies have been undermining the integrity of our democracy by passing numerous anti-voter laws across our country. In this moment of peril, all Democrats, Republicans, and Independents who cherish our republic must stand up for democratic values by denouncing these election lies. As patriotic Americans, we must unite to confront MAGA Republicans’ continuing assault on our nation’s democratic institutions. Instead of destroying our republic, we should instead be strengthening self-government by passing the Freedom to Vote Act (FTVA), enacting the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act (VRAA), and reforming the Electoral Count Act (ECA). By doing so, we will ensure that voters of color are equitably represented in Congress, stop rampant voter suppression, establish clear penalties for fraudulent electoral slates, crack down on dark money in politics, and ensure American democracy endures in the 21st century.
