Serving Whitman County since 1877

Wants election and voting bills to pass

Series: Letters to the Editor | Story 22

It ain’t over until the fat lady sings, Yogi Berra reminded us. Yes, Joe Manchin dealt us a setback on climate change, child tax credit extension, reducing prescription drug costs, etc. etc. etc. But if we don’t throw in the towel and leave the field prematurely, we can still win this, just not this year. We need to add some new hitters to Team Democracy in 2022 so we can afford to let Manchin and Sinema stay in the dugout if they don’t want to play ball. To accomplish this, we must get the voting and election protection bills passed immediately. Then we have to start doing the work (sooner rather than later) to keep the House and add to the Senate roster so we can deliver. It’s what the “99%” wants and needs and the zillionaire “1%” will have to help us pay for it. And if we don’t, well, Team Coup is already at work tearing down the stadium.
