We are tens of millions of Floridians who fight to educate our children, secure affordable health care, raise wages, and protect our air and water.

Legislation to launch a bipartisan commission to investigate the January 6th insurrection passed the House and is headed to the Senate for a vote – but Republicans are now threatening to filibuster it and prevent this bipartisan bill from even getting an up or down vote.

This is truly shameful – and if Sen. McConnell follows through on this threat it will shine a harsh spotlight on the filibuster as a tool of pure partisan gridlock and obstruction.

This is not the only example of Senate Republicans using the filibuster to block efforts to protect and restore our democracy.

For the People Act, which would undo the recent attacks on voting rights and prevent states from playing partisan games with their election laws, also passed the House and is headed to the Senate floor – but Senator McConnell has called blocking it his “top priority” and is committed to using the filibuster to do that.

Investigating an insurrection and protecting voting rights shouldn’t be controversial or partisan – and they shouldn’t be issues that a minority of senators should be allowed to block.

Please take 1 (one) minute to send a message to both Senator Rubio and Senator Scott to stop playing with peoples lives and represent the people of Florida.

The Senate must end the filibuster and protect the vote by passing the For the People Act!
