Come hell or high water
Montgomery doesn't want Alabamians to vote
Folks,
On Tuesday, a tornado tore through Montgomery. Families across the city took cover as sirens blared and people rushed to safety.
But while Alabamians were sheltering from the storm, in the state Senate, there was chaos. As tornado sirens blared, Republican lawmakers pushed ahead with a bill to redraw Alabama’s maps. This new map would eliminate Alabama’s two seats currently represented by Black Democrats and lock in complete Republican control of the Senate.
Let’s be honest here. The power brokers in Montgomery wouldn’t do this for just any bill. There’s no shot in hell they would ignore a tornado warning to push through a bill to bring down the cost of groceries. They wouldn’t do it to lower utility bills. And they definitely wouldn’t do it to save our rural hospitals. Instead, they’re spending hundreds of thousands of dollars of taxpayer money to shut people out of the political process.
This tells you everything you need to know about the one-party rule in Montgomery. They don’t care about anything but holding on to their power. And they’ll stop at nothing - not even a tornado - to keep it.
Now, it’ll take more than a tornado to change Montgomery. The only way we can beat them is with the biggest grassroots campaign Alabama has ever seen.
Can you help us do just that by chipping in today?
Thank you,
