New York Times: Republicans Use Filibuster to Block Voting Rights Bill
Hi friend,
The Senate Grim Reaper just killed the For the People Act with a filibuster.
Even after Joe Manchin created a compromise that every Democrat got on board with, Mitch McConnell shut it down on a party-line vote. The GOP has no interest in compromise -- they want to rig the system. But we can still win this fight.
Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema care deeply about voting rights, and they are the only lifeline for the filibuster. McConnell's craven obstruction might finally wake them up and end the filibuster for good.

We cannot thank you enough for your support in this fight. Expanding voting rights is essential to upholding the democratic values our country was founded on. The filibuster has been a challenge to progress for far too long. And thanks to you, we're one step closer to abolishing it.

P.S. We don't have a moment to waste -- McConnell has been hiding behind the filibuster since he lost control of the Senate. Now his partisan blockade is our only hope of convincing Manchin and Sinema to end this relic of the Jim Crow era once and for all.
