To The Editor:
This is to follow up on the July 1, 2021, open letter to Senator Leahy submitted by Jeb Bouchard in support of voting rights. I fully agree with all that was in her letter and emphasize to the Senator and readers:
"The very essence of democracy may become obsolete if the various voter-suppression legislative actions in so many states are allowed to continue. . . your constituents support S.1 wholeheartedly. We realize it is difficult to consider eliminating the filibuster but at least consider what eliminating voting rights and legitimate elections means to our nation. Our democracy is experiencing death rattles. The people hear it."
Senator Leahy, please speak up and let us know you are prepared to end the filibuster and do everything you can to get S.1 passed into law.
