Today’s the day—the Senate is voting on bringing the #FreedomToVoteAct up for debate. This is a vote on whether to even TALK about protecting the right of every American to vote and block billionaires from buying elections. We must get this done. — PolitiTweet.org

Programs supporting tribal communities and protecting public lands, health and the environment have operated on fumes for too long. This bill delivers historic investments in climate action, tribal health care, forest health, and environmental protection. https://t.co/m62DPEjwdZ — PolitiTweet.org

La Ley Libertad para Votar prohíbe la manipulación partidista y pone fin a la privación de derechos de millones de estadounidenses, particularmente las comunidades de color. Necesitamos asegurarnos que los votantes elijan a sus representantes, y no al revés. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

The #FreedomToVoteAct outlaws partisan gerrymandering and puts an end to the disenfranchisement of millions of Americans, particularly communities of color. We need to make sure voters choose their politicians—not the other way around. — PolitiTweet.org

I am working on legislation that would introduce direly needed oversight in congregate-care facilities in Oregon and around the country to keep our children safe from abuse in the name of "treatment." — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Our congregate-care system is broken—and children are suffering physical and psychological abuse as a result. I’m with @ParisHilton, @RepRoKhanna, @rosadelauro, @RepAdamSchiff, survivors, and advocates to discuss how we can make a meaningful change. https://t.co/nW5xLEHoE8 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Voters should choose who represents them—not the other way around. Partisan gerrymandering gives power to the privileged, but we can take it back by passing the #FreedomToVoteAct and making sure every American can cast a meaningful ballot. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

“No child should die in the name of ‘treatment.’ But too many children have.” Moving op-ed from @ParisHilton on the horrifying abuses and lack of oversight in some congregate-care facilities in our country. https://t.co/qVo6mORy3N — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Everyone should be able to drink a glass of water, eat a meal, and take a deep breath without fear of harming their health with chemicals. This is a good step to protect public health and the environment. Now, we must put promises into action.https://t.co/5gopW6ctiu — PolitiTweet.org

The #ChildTaxCredit is working for families in Oregon and around the country. It should be extended exactly as it is—otherwise, it's a tax increase on hardworking families. — PolitiTweet.org

Desde la decisión Citizens United, el dinero de corporaciones contaminó nuestro sistema político. Terminaremos con esta corrupción con la ley Libertad para Votar. Las campañas trabajarían para la gente ordinaria si los multimillonarios no tuvieran la influencia que tienen ahora. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Since Citizens United, dark money and super PACs have polluted our political system. We’re going to end this corruption with the #FreedomToVoteAct. If campaigns rely on ordinary Americans, not billionaires and corporations for funding and their votes, that’s who they’ll work for. — PolitiTweet.org

A clear illustration of wealth inequality in our country. This is why the Build Back Better plan is so important—it’ll give families the foundations the need to thrive, paid for by making the ultra-rich pay their fair share. https://t.co/MX1lpEmHLu — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

This is a make or break moment for protecting our freedom to vote, stopping billionaires from buying elections, and ending partisan gerrymandering. We absolutely need to get this done, even if it requires reforming the filibuster to do so. https://t.co/HlCrye0P3u — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

We’re already living through climate chaos in Oregon: deadly heat waves, devastating drought, and wildfires that destroy entire communities. We need to meet our 50% emissions reduction goal by 2030—meaningful climate action must be in the Build Back Better plan. — PolitiTweet.org

The #FreedomToVoteAct comes up for a vote this Wednesday. This is our chance to end partisan gerrymandering, stop billionaires from buying elections, and protect the right of every American to vote. I’ve been proud to help lead this bill, and we need to get it to the finish line. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

To invest in American families, we must invest in the homes and the communities where those families live. I led 35 of my Senate colleagues in sending a clear message: affordable housing must be in the final Build Back Better package.https://t.co/l1gbl5T1CD — PolitiTweet.org

Medicare coverage shouldn’t stop at your shoulders. I’m fighting to make sure a Medicare expansion to include dental, vision, and hearing is passed as part of the Build Back Better plan. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Passing the infrastructure bill and the #BuildBackBetter plan is critical to making needed investments in roads and bridges AND in the American people. We can fix physical infrastructure while reducing child poverty, tackling climate chaos, and cutting taxes for the middle class. — PolitiTweet.org
