End Citizens United // Let America Vote President Tiffany Muller released the following statement following President Biden’s State of the Union remarks on democracy:
“President Biden is right: protecting democracy should not be a Democratic cause or a Republican cause – it’s an American cause. The unprecedented attacks on our fundamental right to vote persists, and the corrupt politicians behind these efforts are in every level of government. It’s incumbent upon the 118th Congress to put partisanship aside, unite against the attacks on the freedom to vote, and strengthen the pillars of democracy.”
Full quote from President Biden:
We must all speak out. There is no place for political violence in America.
In America, we must protect the right to vote, not suppress that fundamental right.
We honor the results of our elections, not subvert the will of the people.
We must uphold the rule of the law and restore trust in our institutions of democracy.
And we must give hate and extremism in any form no safe harbor.
Democracy must not be a partisan issue. It’s an American issue.
Every generation of Americans has faced a moment where they have been called on to protect our democracy, to defend it, to stand up for it.
