\"\"<\/a>I share grave concern with many Americans about the right to vote. \u00a0 The protection for our democracy that H.R. 1 provides is critical in a time when more than 200 voter suppression legislative actions are being considered by state legislators and some signed into law.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The \u201cNew York Times\u201d and other national news outlets have exposed the connection between these voter suppression laws and\u00a0 support, model legislation and political organizational work provided by the Heritage\u00a0 Action For America, the action wing of\u00a0 The Heritage Foundation, a powerful and wealthy \u201cthink tank.\u201d\u00a0 The \u201cgrass roots\u201d protests against voter fraud have been conceived, funded and organized by this elite and powerful organization.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Heritage Action even bussed \u201cprotestors\u201d to West Virginia for a protest against \u201cvoter fraud\u201d at the state capitol to pressure Senator Joe Manchin to not support H.R. 1.\u00a0 Voter Fraud is another Big Lie.<\/span>\u00a0 Sixty American courts have found little or no evidence of\u00a0 voter fraud affecting election outcomes. I urge American voters who want to protect democracy to communicate with their senators and representatives to support H.R. 1.\u00a0 We will have a healthier society without gerrymandering and legislated obstacles to keep voters away from the polls.<\/div>\n
