without the voting rights bill, then we have nothing and the pukes will attempt to steal the election again, thereby, probably leading to civil war.

(not to mention their too often racist, sexist, anti climate change, etc attitudes which will further be magnified if they get back in power)

I just called my Senator in DC a little while ago but forgot the Senate is on holiday break.

So call your Senators local office.

I will get his local office # tomorrow. 👍
