H.R. 1, the For the People Act, is back, and you can use the tools in the upper right-hand corner of this page (or, if you're viewing it on a cellphone, the bottom of this page) to find your Reps' and Senators' phone numbers so you can call them and tell them to pass it. The For the People Act would (among many other things!) institute same-day and automatic voter registration nationally, prohibit states from using returned and non-forwardable mailings (or failure to vote in previous elections) to deregister voters, curtail (though not end) the practice of using felony convictions to disenfranchise good Americans, require states to use voter-verifiable paper ballots, require 15 days of early voting for all federal elections, let voters file affidavits in lieu of voter ID, make states use independent commissions to redraw their legislative districts, and require disclosure of campaign contributions over $10,000. So let's patiently review Republican objections to this bill -- nah, just kidding; their objections will be TEH SOSHULIZM!!!! and TEH POWER GRABZ!!!!!, just like they were last time. Republicans might try doing good works on behalf of their constituents if they're so afraid the For the People Act will take their power away.
Also, the House will vote on impeaching our soon-to-be-ex-President today, so while you have your Reps on the phone about H.R. 1, you might want to remind them to impeach him. Our President incited those morons who tried to take over our country last week, and he did it because he lost an election by seven million votes and because almost every single one of his 60-plus frivolous lawsuits died in court, many of these before right-wing judges. Inciting a riot is a crime, and inciting a riot to overturn an election you lost is about as precise a definition of "high crime" as I can imagine. Now, Republicans have been talking a lot about unity lately -- these are the same clowns who constantly hurt us and then constantly point to those other people as the reason we're hurt! They say we shouldn't impeach this President because we have to hold the country together. One more time: we do not "unify" with evil. Here's how "unity" works: sane people realize we have more in common with each other than we thought, and then we unify to keep stupid batshit whiners from destroying our civilization with another well-armed tantrum. And getting rid of the ringleader of the stupid batshit whiners is where we start.
