Jan. 27, 2022
Rep. Wild Leads Call for Action Against Philippines Human Rights Violations
Rep. Pramila Jayapal, ...
Jan. 27, 2022
Tweet - "Protecting the right to vote with strong federal legislation isn't something we can--or will--give up on. I'm going to keep fighting to get this done and protect the foundation of our democracy."
Sen. Patty Murray
Jan. 23, 2022
Tweet - "I will not give up the fight to strengthen federal voting protections. Our democracy is on the line and I will continue to do everything I can to get this done."
Sen. Patty Murray
Jan. 19, 2022
Tweet - "Republican-led legislatures are making it harder to vote for certain groups of people. This is a national, coordinated effort to keep Republicans in power at every level of government by keeping Americans from the ballot box. This is undemocratic, and a threat to democracy."
Sen. Patty Murray
Jan. 19, 2022
Tweet - "History is sitting on our shoulders right now. The American people are looking to us for a way to move forward & protect the right to vote--& this is it. And all that's standing in our way is Senate procedure--Senate procedure that a majority of us voted to change just last month."
Sen. Patty Murray
Jan. 19, 2022
Tweet - "Live on the Senate floor, I'm talking about our democracy, how it works, and why we urgently need to protect the right to vote."

Sen. Patty Murray
Jan. 16, 2022
Tweet - "We have to make sure the right to vote is never taken away, and that the voices of the American people are never taken away."
Sen. Patty Murray
Jan. 14, 2022
Tweet - "To be absolutely clear: we cannot let the filibuster stop us from ever debating voting rights or any other issue just one member might disagree with. We need to change Senate rules. #WeWantVotingRights"
Sen. Patty Murray
Jan. 11, 2022
Tweet - "Protecting every citizen's right to have a voice in our democracy should be as noncontroversial as naming post offices. Yet Republicans blocked debate on legislation to protect voting rights. Our democracy is at stake--we can't let their obstruction stand in the way."
Sen. Patty Murray
Jan. 7, 2022
Tweet - "The 1965 Voting Rights Act is one of the most important bills in our nation's history. With voting rights under attack across the country, it's time to restore and strengthen it--even if it means changing Senate rules to get there."

Sen. Patty Murray
Dec. 23, 2021
Tweet - "If we have to change the Senate rules to pass strong federal voting rights legislation, then let's do it. Nothing is more important than protecting the right to have a voice in our democracy."
