A Senate committee took up debate on the Democrats’ sweeping voting reform package on Tuesday. Best known as HR 1, the name of the bill is the “For the People Act.” It should really be called the “For the Democrats Act,” because if this bill were to become law, America would be governed by one-party rule for generations to come.
The House passed House Resolution 1 in early March. HR 1 represents the Biden administration’s biggest power grab yet. This bill is unpopular across the board with the GOP.
Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, a Republican, denounced the bill, which some call the “Corrupt Politicians Act,” in no uncertain terms on Tuesday.
“This legislation is designed to ensure that Democrats never lose another election,” Cruz said. “Democrats have made the decision that millions of illegal aliens voting are likely to vote for Democrats.”
The Texas senator told his colleagues the bill is “profoundly dangerous.”
“The reason it suppresses millions of votes is by allowing millions of people to vote illegally, and that is the intended effect and that would be the actual effect of this bill. It dilutes the legal votes of American citizens.”
Senator Schumer spoke of “the stench of oppression when Democrats drafted Jim Crow the last time.”
“Well, the stench of oppression is here again. Sen. Schumer said ‘the eyes of history are on you.’ The eyes of history are on you as well, and let me point out something. It was just a few years ago that the Republicans had control of the White House, the Senate and the House. We didn’t do this,” Cruz said.
