Voters Beware!
Anyone that follows politics will see that the GOP is hard pressing for more and more anti-voter bills wherever they are in the positions of power….and the US House is no exception.
Enter the “Big Lie Bill” the GOP will be proposing…..
Voting rights advocates across the United States on Monday responded with alarm to Republicans introducing what its backers called “the most conservative election integrity bill to be seriously considered” in the U.S. House of Representatives in decades.
Dubbed the “Big Lie Bill” by critics, the American Confidence in Elections (ACE) Act is spearheaded by Committee on House Administration Chair Bryan Steil (R-Wis.) and includes nearly 50 standalone bills from the chamber’s GOP members.
The Declaration for American Democracy (DFAD), a coalition of over 260 groups, said in a statement it was “deeply concerned” about the bill, warning that “the benign-sounding name of this legislation cloaks an extremist, anti-voter effort to increase the role of megadonors in our elections and encourage deliberate barriers to make it harder for eligible voters to cast their ballot.”
“This bill would amplify the influence of corporations and billionaires by raising contribution limits and reducing reporting and transparency requirements, opening the floodgates to even more secret money in our elections,” DFAD said. “Increasing the role of big money donors in our politics prevents Congress from taking action on the issues that matter most to Americans, such as healthcare, reproductive rights, gun safety, and the environment.”

From gerrymandering to out right voter suppression the GOP will do what they must to make sure that their candidates have an unfair advantage….make it harder to exercise your right to vote instead of making the process easy and open to all eligible registered voters.
You might want to pay attention….you do realize that the 2024 election is a mere 16 months away.
Now is the time to start comparing candidates, the ones that have announced that is, so that you can make a good decision on your vote and possibly save this country from itself.

The NSDAP playbook in action.
Trying to stifle voting opportunities long before the next election. Similar things going on over here, chuq.
Best wishes, Pete.
The Right has finally found it’s true calling….chuq
Scary stuff in a lake filled with scary stuff.
True and it seems to get deeper….chuq
And a new report says an ultra-conservative group is ready to gut the environmental protection act as soon as they can – you know, where efforts are being made to save our planet against right-wing crazies who refuse to acknowledge climate change as people begin dying from extreme heat – and our lack of water crisis looms…it’s shameful and so so dangerous
The GOP is making things worse….did you see the report about the Gulf Stream? chuq
Yes…I really wish I could understand WHY the climate has become such a toxic political issue…Florida water is now over 100 degrees? Don’t they understand there are way to address this – and they aren’t ;leftwing they are just attempts to save us all!
John the Earth Summit of 1990 called for emissions clean=up by 2000 and every year that gets kicked down the road ’til now it is 2050….I think it will be way too late by then. chuq
our lack of water crisis looms…right! no water crisis!
