Heard the Director on the Joe Madison show discussing this - this morning. He specifically called out - not Manchin or Sinema . . . but Mark Warner and Chris Coons for an incomplete Grade. If I recall correctly- I believe he gave Lisa Murkowski an A. Let that sink in.

THE SENATE HAS A JOB TO DO
After a year of assaults on American voting rights, the next steps are clear: end the filibuster and enact federal voting rights legislation that protects voters, no matter what state they live in.
A coalition of civil rights organizations has evaluated key votes of each U.S. senator to grade their efforts to protect our democracy. Senators' actions on the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act, the For the People Act, and efforts to eliminate the filibuster have direct impact on voters for the 2022 midterms and beyond.
We continue to do our job. We vote, we mobilize, and we amplify our needs. Now the Senate must do theirs.

CALL TO ACTION - There is a specific phone script you can use depending on your Senator's scores at the link.
*If your senator received an F
*If your senator received an Incomplete
*If your senator received an A
So yep - even if you are in Florida, Texas, Wisconsin (Ron Johnson that asswipe) - you gotta gotta gotta call. If you are in West Virginia or Arizona or know ANYONE who lives there - please have them call.
We gotta do this.
There are 41M more people represented by the 50 Democratic US Senators. If this doesn't happen - I get relegated to being a second class citizen again like my grandmother in the 1950's.
