Sen. Bernie Sanders
Aug. 11, 2022
Tweet - "The United States should stand for democracy and support free and fair elections. To that end, we must make absolutely clear that it will not support any government that comes to power in Brazil through undemocratic means."
Sen. Bernie Sanders
June 16, 2022
Tweet - "The Democratic Party cannot continue to ignore the needs of the working class of our country and expect to retain majority control in the US House and US Senate. It's time to show which side we're on. It's time to start voting."
Sen. Bernie Sanders
April 15, 2022
Tweet - "At a time when a handful of huge Wall Street firms control the economic life of the country, they are now moving to control the political life as well. We must overturn Citizens United, that disastrous Supreme Court decision, and move to public funding of elections."

Sen. Bernie Sanders
Jan. 17, 2022
Tweet - "As the voting rights bill finally comes to the floor of the Senate, there is only one vote which will really matter. Will 50 Democrats vote to override the filibuster, protect American democracy and pass the bill, or will Manchin and Sinema vote with the GOP and let the bill die?"
Sen. Bernie Sanders
Jan. 15, 2022
Tweet - "This is what the undermining of American democracy looks like. This is what is taking place all across the country. This is why it is an outrage that two Democratic senators have joined Republicans in refusing to pass the Freedom to Vote bill."
