“The impact of his policy stances on the budget, voting rights, living wages, and the filibuster fly in the face of Catholic social teachings. They are extreme, contributing to a great chasm between the rich and the rest, Wall Street and the hollers, highways and byways of the nation.” -Rev. Dr. Liz Theoharis
Poor People’s Campaign To Sen. Manchin: Your Actions Are Sinful, Immoral - The Tennessee Tribune
tntribune.com
Sen. Joe Manchin has compromised a new voting rights bill that has some strong protections by slipping the big lie of election fraud into the proposal, Rev. Dr. William J. Barber II said during a news conference where the Poor People’s Campaign also criticized the West Virginia senator for blockin...Manchin is protecting his personal interest, he’s a Republican in disguise, needs to be voted out.
You can fit 5 WV in Los Angeles County alone. How is it fair that this one man can grind our country to a halt and hold it hostage? The Senate structure has become corrupt and has always been undemocratic. It is run by billionaire oligarchs. We need public funding of elections. We used to do it. No more unlimited money.
WV is the 5th most federal resource dependent state, and HE gets to hold up things for the rest of us.
Folks like him dont feel shame. Shit, his wife and daughter orchestrated a huge price fix for epipens people need to live. He has the backing of Pelosi and the dnc, they back him over progressive primary challengers. You folks better start realizing the game politicians are playing. It's a concerted effort to RIP us off, not one or two politicians.
You could say the same about Biden.
Preach.
It's time to close the loopholes and tax the rich !!
THEY JUST WANTS TO END FOR ALL BLACK ,LATINO MEXICANS, MUSLIMS AND POOR WHITE ALL OVER THE WORLD 🌍🌎🌏🌐 THEY WILL GET TO SEE JESUS AT THE END..
“In a letter sent to the White House on Wednesday (Sept. 22), the campaign’s co-chairs, the Rev. William Barber II and the Rev. Liz Theoharis, requested a meeting with Biden “as soon as possible” to discuss a “moral reset” for the U.S. that would include ending the use of the filibuster in the Senate.”” -Religion News Service

WASHINGTON (RNS) — The group’s co-chair, the Rev. William Barber II, preached at Biden’s inaugural prayer service but has challenged the president on the Senate filibuster.West Virginia and Arizona should be the focus. Many people think these are red states and that is certainly true for West Virginia. However, Arizona has changed drastically and it should be easier comparatively to defeat Sinema. However, it is also important to understand that West Virginia has the most dire situation of all the states. It ranks the highest in terms of deaths from the opioid crisis, has sky high poverty levels, is generally among the worst states on every metric of progress and among the top states for any metric of failure. I know a lot of West Virginians have been brainwashed to hate socialism and in that sense are their own worst enemy, but if there are charismatic leaders who are able to reach out and connect with West Virginians, I am sure they will listen!
Rev.Barber has to get in his face and give him the REAL DEAL.
Good tell Joe it time to close the loopholes and tax the rich.
This country has a lot of worthless POS 🖕🏾
Good
If he meets him I’ll be surprised. Biden has clearly shown he does not like black folks. He’s been disrespectful and people keep letting it slide.
Well, we see that this battle IS NOT about money, because they pull it out of us whenever they need it. It is about at least 2 bought-and-paid-for ‘democrats’ so entrenched in big oil/coals ass (Exxon Joe) and the other idiot, Sinema - owned by big pharma who has taken $936,000 over the years, that they totally stand with their dark money interests; against the American people, democratic principles and the entire Biden agenda. We worked hard for majorities, for changes, for voting rights to be set in stone, for a government that works for us, for fair taxation, for human and physical infrastructure, for improved Medicare, for the same drug prices the rest of the world pays, but 2 corporate-crats are blocking the entire plan because they are padding their pockets and bank accounts - in direct opposition to the wishes of their constituents and the party. No wonder the rating for Congress is so low; many of them make no pretense of representing the majority. They are sickening. And for this, we will lose democracy and majorities in 2022 and 2024; we (the people) are done for. CONFRONT Manchin and Sinema for their crimes against the people!
Which side are you on Mr. President?
This is great news!
Joe Biden better man T H up.

YES!!!!!

10226 × 24 years 246,048 hours. Hurried but not forgotten Make him feel release him.
Speak the TRUTH Dr. Barber
West Virginia PPC is with you
Make right a wrong free this man
We stand with you
Teach! Rev Barber. TEACH!!
Full pardon now
Pardon. Me friends. But if Dante has been exonerated. He doesn't need to be pardoned. A pardon implies he is still guilty but he is being forgiven. If he was exonerated of the charges. He needs to be released and freed and cleared of all the false charges he was incinerated under. Release him and clear his record. Make him whole and return his 6 years of mental distress 6 years × 365= Release hi. FREE HIM. AND MAKE HIM WHOLE FOR PAIN AND SUFFERING.

CHARLESTON, W. VA.—The Poor People’s Campaign and his own West Virginia constituents are turning up the pressure on Democratic Sen.

“There is language in this bill that seems to deem voter ID as essential to election integrity, election confidence, and election access.
