Deadline for Democracy-Indivisible Tuesday at Senator Wyden & Rep. Blumenauer’s

Deadline for Democracy: Go Big, Go Bold, Go Fast, Go Alone

President Biden has proposed a widely and wildly popular infrastructure plan, paid for by increasing taxes on corporations and those with extreme wealth. House Democrats have passed an array of progressive bills that help us and save our democracy -- and enjoy broad, bipartisan voter support.

Yet an archaic Senate rule with a racist history and questionable constitutionality allows McConnell and his insurrectionist party to demand a supermajority to even debate legislation. The filibuster protects them from publicly expressing unpopular views and voting against popular bills. Those who support the filibuster claim it promotes bipartisan deliberation. Our eyes and ears tell us it stops deliberation and allows minority rule by obstruction.

We are rapidly approaching the Deadline for Democracy, when state laws require completion of redistricting and the 2022 election cycle begins. Time is not on our side -- and GOP senators know it. That is why we need to insist our Members of Congress Go Big, Go Bold, Go Fast, and Go Alone.

Commit to calling your MoCs every day this week. Join us for Indivisible Tuesday and Saturday's voter outreach event. Together, we will be heard.

RSVP HERE

We will convene at 11:30am, welcome everyone, share announcements, and meet other people on the call. At 12:00pm staff from Wyden's and Blumenauer's offices will join the meeting.

A spokesperson will deliver our key message and asks, staff will have a chance to respond, and we will share constituents’ questions and comments as time allows.

You can submit your comments in advance to resist@indivisibleOR.org. We may also take comments via chat during the meeting if we have time.
