Remember that evil bill HR1 - the first one Pelosi's House proposed after gaining power?
HR1 would have allowed the Democrats to cheat in elections forever by making voter ID illegal and federalizing the elections.
It had failed and we thought we were safe, but no...
They took the guts of the bill and hid it in a new bill that gives NASA the right to lease property. The title of the bill is innocuous, but the contents are deadly.
It passed the House and it must be stopped in the Senate!

Those sneaky lying nasty ********! That was what they were planning...
Here is a video of Rep. Cammack sounding the alarm:
Details here:
"Democrats merged the John Lewis Voting Rights Act and the Freedom to Vote Act into a single text and crammed the new bill into previously passed legislation extending NASA’s authority to lease its facilities.
Because the so-called “shell” NASA bill already cleared the House and Senate, Democrats can kick-start debate on the Senate floor without Republican support.
“We will have the ability to proceed to the legislation and debate it on a simple majority basis, something that’s been denied to us four times in the last several months because Republicans didn’t want to move forward,” Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) said Thursday morning.
“Then, the Senate will finally hold a debate on the voting rights legislation for the first time in this Congress,” Schumer added, “and every senator will be faced with a choice of whether or not to pass this legislation to protect our democracy.”"
Some senators might vote for it and then claim ignorance of the contents given the innocuous name on the bill. That would give them plausible deniability.
The fact they admit to voting for a bill that they don’t know the contents of should be enough to kick them out of office, or at the very least change how these things are done.
You are right on so many levels. But then again we have Pelosi on record saying, "We have to pass the bill to know whats in it"
That ones on par with “we’re doing it and the time is everyday”
I forgot about that, they just get away with everything
The criminal management doesn't give them time to read it. That's part of the scheme.
If they refuse to vote then their vote doesn't count. About all they can do is refuse to vote yes.
Then they should crowd source the reading. Give me a break,
Plausible only in their dreams.
I would love to believe you but:
Barrasso Blunt Capito Collins Cornyn McConnell Murkowsk Portman Rounds Shelby Thune
Are still breathing and blinking.
You forgot Burr and Tillis, my senators from NC.
You are right I forgot Romney too.
Not sure but think it needs only 51 votes since it was passed as NASA. SIMPLE MAJORITY.
Yes - I posted this the other day as well. Because the bill started as the NASA land-lease bill and already been thru both sides of Congress it does not have to come up for cloture in the Senate. Cloture is that thing where you have to have 60 votes to get a bill to the floor and have a real vote.
Unfortunately the bill has already been considered by the House and the Senate (as the NASA bill). This was coordinated between the House and Senate. The House passed their version and sent it to the Senate. Then the Senate changed a few things (in the original NASA bill) and sent it back to the House to be reconciled. This was planned because the bill was simply a renewal of the original bill authorizing NASA to lease their property out to pay for some mission equipment and it expired 12/31. The Senate could've just passed it and sent it on, but by changing it the House could then gut it and wedge both election bills inside with the intent on getting rid of the possibility of the filibuster when it goes back to the Senate. Chucky and Nancy playing their games again.
Now when it comes back to the Senate, Schumer can just send it straight to the floor for a vote. Not as a vote requiring 60 votes, but simply a majority vote. It also means the filibuster is not useful against this bill because it has already hit the floor before.
This is the highest level of bad! Call/email ALL of your Senators and reps. Tell them to fix this and to go on the news and shout about this (I did late last week myself). You also need to tell your senators they better show up to vote. We need ALL of the Republicans, AND Manchin/Sinema to vote NO. Remember - it just needs a quorum and a majority to pass. If Sinema and Manchin don't vote then we would need every Republican NO vote because the majority would be different. I've personally never seen something like this before - ever. Frankly I don't believe this can be anywhere near constitutional, but we can't let it pass and take it to SCOTUS. It needs stopped NOW. The vote is supposed to be Tuesday, and Monday is a fed holiday.
Why would it need 60? I thought it only needs simple majority.
