Turn Texas BLUE IF YOU CHERISH YOUR FREEDOMS💙🗳

[hankakah]

The more the GOP are trying, the more voters there are going to be to vote them out. When people are trying to make them stop from voting, the people WILL try even harder to make sure they vote!

[anthonybrowne]

If anybody can't under stand how bad this is, they don't need to be representing anybody in congress.

[jeffreyxu]

Fought for voting rights more than manchin and sinema, love it. Time to turn Texas blue

[stanleyarrington]

Way to go Texas Democrats walk every day if you have to and counter with a law suits on them for this move then lock in in what's right for voting, make sure the mail in ballots are included and that it can take weeks to count the votes.

Just got back from a Texas vacation. Lots of good people among a ton of racists. It's rather creepy.

[jon-lukeport]

Bravo Texas Democrats! Showing some courage and political smarts.

[ridethecurve]

TX State GOP tactics would make even J.R. Ewing blush.

[spir]

Thank you Texas Democrats for standing up to the Republicans voter suppression tactics! We will never give up the right to vote!

[mrmark]

Sinema is a GQP sleeper, looking for a FIX news job.

[williamjohnsonii]

Hard to believe those 2 traitors are holding up all this, just disgraceful.

[iwbuiqr]

Continue the good fight you have my support against these trump GOP cultists and your fight against their voter suppression bills. I just wish the other 46 states that the GOP have gerrymandered their control preventing the true American Party the fight and the voice they needed to stop their efforts in those states.

[dHolbach]

If only the Dems in the Senate were this forceful in trying to sustain our democracy.

[jeffreyxu]

When there's a mass shooting or a severe storm, the governor looks the other way. But when voting rights are on the line, abbott is sure to hold a special session to make it harder for minorities to vote.

[jamesburns]

Forget politics, as you've come to see it, as a contest between Democrats and Republicans. Today the struggle is democracy versus oligarchy.

[BigDanOz]

For the people.. not for your selfish political power and greed. Please? For the people

[KaiLivi]

Well we need people in congress to actually listen to us instead of their donors or nothing will happen, except violence because we can only stand to be ignored for so long.

[igorminion]

First the power grid, now the internet. Does anything work in Texas?

[cck]

There's no policy issue to discuss with Manchin and Sinema. They understand the problem just fine. They also understand dark money, just like everyone else in Congress, starting with the innermost workings of the GOP, where the idea began.

[tsananthanarayanan]

Hope Senators Manchin and sinema will have the moral courage integrity and oppose the voter suppression in Texas and in other 'red states' and support their colleagues in the Democratic Party in the Senate, and strengthen President Biden. If they don't do the right thing at this crucial time, history will never forgive them.
