At some point the federal government will have to set up its own (voluntary) marriage certificate, IMO. And it’s own (voluntary) free ID card for civilians.
#RFMA’s obeisance to the states regarding the performance of marriages, just like the feds’ reliance on the states to carry out #voterregistration which killed the #ForthePeopleAct, or #Obamacare’s reliance on states to expand #Medicaid, leaves many in the lurch and at the mercy of their own state governments.

On August 28th, I’ll speak at the #Atlanta March On For Voting Rights, in commemoration of the 58th anniversary of the #MarchOnWashington and my father, #MLK’s, #IHaveADream speech.
We must end #VoterSuppression and pass the #ForThePeopleAct.

Reminder - voter suppression has 3 tests:
1. Can you register & stay on the rolls?
2. Can you cast a ballot?
3. Does your ballot get counted?
States (like GA) mix & match obstacles. We need #ForThePeopleAct + #JohnLewisVotingRightsAct. Stay alert. Stay the course. #OurTimeIsNow https://twitter.com/ajc/status/1428379510324531211

The #ForThePeopleAct would help beat back the influence of dark money and big donors. That’s how we can strengthen faith in our democracy—by making Washington work for everyone, not just billionaires and giant corporations who can hire armies of lobbyists and lawyers.

Nothing is more important than assuring all Americans can exercise their right to vote.

A1: Voting is the beating heart of our democracy. I’m fighting in the United States Senate to pass the #ForThePeopleAct to protect the right to vote in Massachusetts and all across this country. #S1TownHall https://twitter.com/JanaLMorgan/status/1410282273476206593

Thank you @PattyMurray and @SenatorCantwell for your votes today, and all the members of our delegation fighting for the #ForThePeopleAct. The filibuster cannot be a barrier to voting rights legislation when our democracy is on the line. It’s past time for it to go.
RT @SenatorCantwell
The heart of this debate is whether we're going to fight to make sure that the federal government does its job on constitutional rights. This is about whether we do our job in upholding these constitutional rights when certain states don't do that. #ForThePeopleAct
RT @staceyabrams
Republicans are afraid of our power, so they're doing everything they can to silence our voices & deny our freedom to vote.
We need our U.S. Senators to do everything in their power to protect the right to vote. Senators, we are counting on you to support the #ForThePeopleAct.

Imagine being arrested for giving water to people standing in line to vote? Thanks to the GOP's attack on our voting rights, this is the reality in some states. Call your Senator and tell them to pass the #ForThePeopleAct: (855) 249-6462
Called @MittRomney and @SenMikeLee asking them to pass HR1 the #ForThePeopleAct in the Senate, where it's in markup today.

We just saw how fragile democracy can be. We forgot that it has to be protected. And we can do that by passing the #ForThePeopleAct. It ends voter suppression, gerrymandering, and it curbs big money influence. We need this. Help spread the word
