Ultimately, this is about continuing the work of Dr. Nixon. Making sure every voice is heard and every vote is counted. Read our full voting rights plan here: https://t.co/Hf94dosadx — PolitiTweet.org
Beto O'Rourke @BetoORourke
Our voting rights plan returns power to people. It will: 🔵Enact automatic & same-day registration 🔵Make Election Day a federal holiday 🔵Protect the Voting Rights Act 🔵Abolish racist voter ID laws 🔵Increase turnout to 65% 🔵Ban PAC contributions 🔵End gerrymandering — PolitiTweet.org
Beto O'Rourke @BetoORourke
As president, I will make sure every single American is empowered to vote—and that those who have historically been drawn out of our democracy are able to make their voices heard so this country can live up to its full promise and potential. — PolitiTweet.org
Beto O'Rourke @BetoORourke
In recent years, Jim Crow-era poll taxes and grandfather clauses have been replaced with other insidious forms of suppression, ranging from racist voter ID laws that reduce turnout to gerrymandering efforts that undermine the very notion that all of our votes count equally. — PolitiTweet.org
Beto O'Rourke @BetoORourke
It took 20 years of court battles but Dr. Nixon was ultimately able to vote on this day 75 years ago. And because of him, and those who fought alongside him, African Americans across the state were able to vote, too. But our work isn’t finished. — PolitiTweet.org
Beto O'Rourke @BetoORourke
Dr. Nixon took his poll tax receipt into Fire Station No. 5 on Election Day knowing full well he would be refused the right to vote. Turned away on the basis of his race, he mounted a challenge to the all-white primary — taking his case to the US Supreme Court not once but twice. — PolitiTweet.org
Beto O'Rourke @BetoORourke
In 1914, he helped organize the El Paso branch of the NAACP, which became the very first chapter of the NAACP in the state. Then in 1924, after Texas passed a law barring African Americans from participating in the primary, Dr. Nixon personally took up the fight against it. — PolitiTweet.org
Beto O'Rourke @BetoORourke
Concerned by Johnson’s public murder and the number of lynchings occurring across central and east Texas, and perhaps fearing for his own life, Nixon moved west to El Paso, where he became involved with civil rights work and established a successful medical practice. — PolitiTweet.org
Beto O'Rourke @BetoORourke
Born in Marshall, TX in 1884, Nixon attended Wiley College and then received his M.D. in 1906 from Meharry Medical College in Nashville. He began practicing in Cameron before 500 members of the community stormed the jail and lynched an African American man named Alex Johnson. — PolitiTweet.org
Beto O'Rourke @BetoORourke
On this day 75 years ago, Dr. Lawrence Nixon walked into El Paso's Fire Station No. 5—two decades after first being turned away from the very same polling place—and cast his vote, ending the all-white primary and changing the history of voting rights. I want to share his story: https://t.co/rhWeRUFwBD — PolitiTweet.org

Our president has stood with autocrats around the world, from Turkey to Hungary to Pakistan, who have denigrated the free press—and still hasn't condemned MBS for the assassination of Khashoggi. We need a president who defends the press, not one who disparages it. — PolitiTweet.org

Grateful for the chance to tour Ellis Island with Amy this morning. Looking out at the Statue of Liberty, we are reminded that America has always been, and will always be, a nation of immigrants. https://t.co/Td9e9E2Q5N — PolitiTweet.org

15,000. 15,000 human beings—parents & children, colleagues & neighbors—lost their lives because states like Texas didn't expand Medicaid. We need universal, guaranteed, high-quality health care—so in the wealthiest country on earth, no one dies because they aren't covered. — PolitiTweet.org

As president, I will sign into law The Equality Act, which would ban discrimination against all LGBTQ+ Americans in employment, housing, and access to public spaces—including in Texas. Chip in to support our grassroots campaign. https://t.co/yAfUGKNN9T — PolitiTweet.org

Our drug prices are the most expensive in the world; our gun violence epidemic is the deadliest—and all of this is symptomatic of a democracy that’s been captured by corporations. We need to return power back to people. Reginald, appreciate the question. #TownHallForAmerica https://t.co/Ehlq4InHoT — PolitiTweet.org

In Texas, you can be fired for being gay. You can be denied a home for being gay. You can be barred from adopting a child who needs a loving family because you're gay. Discrimination is an urgent issue in our state. Discrimination against Chick-fil-A is not. — PolitiTweet.org

Seven years after Aurora, we haven't done enough to end gun violence in our schools, our communities, or our country. I'm committed to making this a top priority -- finally achieving universal background checks, stopping the sale of weapons of war, and implementing red flag laws. — PolitiTweet.org

Our Sioux Center town hall brought us to one of the most conservative counties in Iowa. A place that went 81% for Trump.
