That's what we have to do right now, Mares. Like it or not, he controls what the Senate will or will not do--how do we get him to do the things he ought to do to help his state?
Excellent analysis of the needs and opportunities for West Virginians that could be shaped by the actions of Senator Manchin. You are right to spotlight him because of the outsized influence on policy decisions he has in a 50/50 Senate. The filibuster MUST be abolished. It was originally put in place to allow senators who were opposed to civil rights legislation to be blocked by the few using unending debate tactics and requiring 60 votes to overcome. Telling the truth will set us all free. The truth teller is believed especially when the truth has content that most do not want to hear but which all need to hear. Well done.
Meeting Joe Manchin where he is at and offering to help what is important to his state and our progressive values.
