The Senate on Tuesday advanced S. 1, the For the People Act, setting up a floor vote for the controversial bill. Senators clashed over voting rights and election procedures for hours in a contentious committee meeting to consider amendments for the massive bill.
Democrats claim the legislation is necessary to counter new voting restrictions being considered by multiple states. But Republicans argued that the bill is a naked power grab, and voted down an amendment that would have made several changes to the legislation based on feedback from state and local election officials.
The committee deadlocked 9-9 along party lines on whether to approve the bill. The committee can’t report it out, but Senate rules allow Majority Leader Chuck Schumer to bring the bill to the floor. All nine Republicans voted against the bill, even though some amendments proposed by GOP senators had been adopted.
In my personal opinion – Government no longer looks out for the people of this country. We have no REAL representation for our rights. They only look out for their best interest, which keeps them in office and in money. They have no morality, and are destroying this country using works as Fair, Racism, Police Brutality, Abortion, My Body my Choice, Voter Rights, etc.. etc.. etc.. Order with Chaos – Look here while I do the opposite because I am above you, the law, and you voted me in.
Are we really any better since 1776? I say all Americans stop paying taxes, wonder how they would respond to that?
Voting rights my A$$….. more like how Dems can stay in power by controlling all aspects of voting.

Y’all need to write your congress critters on this one letting them know if they dare to vote for this, you will vote them OUT and vote FOR someone who will change it BACK! Make that very clear to them.
