If we ended Citizens United...
If we stopped billionaires from buying politicians...
If we moved to the public funding of elections...
If we abolished the electoral college...

No, Mr. President. You're not "pro-life" when you attempt to throw 23 million Americans off their health insurance and eliminate protections for pre-existing conditions. You're not "pro-life" when 68,000 Americans die each year because they can't afford to go to a doctor on time.
Religious freedom is about protecting everyone’s ability to practice their own faith as they choose, not imposing your beliefs on everyone else. That’s religious oppression.
Amy Coney Barrett shouldn't be confirmed through an illegitimate, bad-faith process.
Amy Coney Barrett shouldn't be confirmed because of her extremist views.
