We vote for leaders we trust to protect us, irrespective of our race, gender, immigration status, income, or our political philosophy. We vote for leaders who allocate federal government resources to address issues that states and the private sector can’t handle. 

Trump’s GOP Senate padded both rescue bills with give-aways to themselves and their donors. They declined to fully fund vote-by-mail or protect the postal service it relies upon. Only oversight can ensure national production and distribution of essential medical supplies, but the Senate adjourned for three weeks and the House plans to follow.

 

Vote-by-mail and the USPS must be fully funded to

protect our vote.

Adjourning Congress stops oversight, as Trump continues to condition aid on whether we voted for him, and, on whether our governors are nice to him. Quid pro quo, plain and simple. He hates vote-by-mail because he believes it favors Democrats, saying Monday evening:

Of the Dems’ request for more vote-by-mail funding: “They had … levels of voting that, if you ever agreed to it, you’d never have a Republican elected in this country again.” (Aaron Blake, Washington Post)

We will not let our members of Congress abandon us to Trump’s whims and vindictiveness. We demand our elected leaders use the power we gave them. We demand they stay at work during the pandemic, to protect our health and our vote. We need Congressional action and oversight to stop Trump from disadvantaging those who don’t support him.

Together

Helping each other

We can save ourselves
