Healing America - Implementing a Basic Income Guarantee (BIG), Basic Health Insurance and Fundamental Human Rights in the United States of America
Ebook (EPUB Format)
Barack Obama has backed conservative West Virginia Democratic senator Joe Manchin's voting rights proposal, calling it a product of compromise as the landmark legislation struggles towards a crucial vote in the US Senate. The former US president weighed in, as did his wife and former first lady, Michelle Obama, decrying Republican efforts in many statehouses across the country to bring in new laws that restrict voting, and urging Congress to pass federal legislation before it's too late.

Barack Obama has backed conservative West Virginia Democratic senator Joe Manchin's voting rights proposal, calling it a product of compromise as the landmark legislation struggles towards a crucial vote in the US Senate. The former US president weighed in, as did his wife and former first lady, Michelle Obama, decrying Republican efforts in many statehouses across the country to bring in new laws that restrict voting, and urging Congress to pass federal legislation before it's too late. Barack Obama said the future of the country was at stake. I have tried to make it a policy not to weigh in on the day-to-day scrum in Washington, but what is happening this week is more than just a particular bill coming up or not coming up to a vote, he said in an interview. He added: I do want folks who may not be paying close attention to what's happening ... to understand the stakes involved here, and why this debate is so vitally important to the future of our country, Obama said. In his latest interview, Obama said Democrats and Republicans have abused the redistricting process, but shared concerns about efforts in Republican-controlled states to limit access to voting. Around the world we've seen once-vibrant democracies go in reverse, Obama said. It is happening in other places around the world and these impulses have crept into the United States ... we are not immune from some of these efforts to weaken our democracy. If we have the same kinds of shenanigans that brought about January 6, you know - if we have that for a couple more election cycles we're going to have real problems in terms of our democracy long term. In a post on Instagram, Michelle Obama talked of the Biden legislation fighting voter suppression and strengthening democracy. Over the past few months, there's been a movement in state legislatures all across the country to pass laws that make it harder for people to cast a ballot. That means we've got to pass the For the People Act before it's too late. This bill is one of our best chances...to ensure all of us have a say in our future - whether that's issues like pandemic relief, criminal justice, immigration, healthcare, education, or anything else, she wrote. Therefore it is imperative that both Republicans and Democrats in the US Senate support and pass this landmark legislation; so that democracy - as well as the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) - can be ensured and manifested for all people in America in the future.
