ACTION: LEADERSHIP MATTERS

 

LEADERSHIP MATTERS

caely.barrett@gmail.com

Background

Imagine a Biden/Harris administration. Imagine a Democratic Senate. Imagine legislation that benefits all of us passed by Congress and signed by a unifying President. Leadership matters. This is the leadership we want, and this is the leadership we deserve.

The For the People Act of 2019 is pro-democracy, anti-corruption legislation. It provides election security, non-partisan redistricting commissions, new campaign spending rules, and new ethical codes throughout government. The For the People, INVEST in America, Voting Rights Advancement, and Equality Acts -- all passed by the House in 2019 and 2020 -- are passed by a Democratic Senate and signed by President Biden.

To make this vision our reality, we must first save the post office. We need immediate:

  • Prime-time hearings about USPS sabotage and possible violation of 18US701

  • Demands the USPS Board of Governors to fire DeJoy

  • Framing of this as the racketeering (RICO) case it is, with enforced subpoenas to Trump White House and campaign officials

  • Posting of videos and interviews with people getting prescriptions late to show everyone what's happening

  • Involvement of governors


There is no time to rest, no time for vacation. This is a "fight for the soul of our nation."
