Frustration with Voting Rights Legislation [View all]

Posted in AfAm Group -

I appreciate the obsession with DOJ investigation of the 1/6 Coup Attempt.

I appreciate the Progressive leadership having a variety of goals and objectives outside of basic civil rights.

I appreciate the hanging on every word of the GOP disruptors.

But folks - I know how it is going to go next November if we don't have FTP(HR 1) and JLVRA (HR 4) enacted ASAP.

Incessant whining about black people not showing up to the polls. Non stop finger pointing at Us.

If we don't get push to get this done - 2020 might very well be the last vote many of my family members in the deep South will have been ALLOWED to cast. Even my family members in the greater Atlanta metro region may be able to vote - but have their votes thrown out because of the color of their skin.

It's enough. Just at a loss with our fellow Democratics who I'm getting the impression aren't getting the message - No black votes - Democratic Party Members in Government.

Thanks for letting me vent.
