HR 1 is NOT a Partisan Issue, But a Right To Each American

Why do Republicans want to restrict the greater part of America from voting in elections?  Are Republicans scared of the outcome of elections where a majority of Americans have access to vote?  Each American should have the right to vote.  Of course, there are restrictions that come with committing crimes.  And I am not in favor of banning any American for life from voting.  

With that as a backdrop, there is a contentious resolution being trusted through Congress which is backed by Republicans.  The bill is HR 1 -- The For The People Act -- a bill that expands access to voting among other changes to voters' rights.  A recent interview on MSNBC with Ford Foundations President, Darren Walker, discussing the role of CEO's across the United States in backing the bill is worth watching and considering:

Corporate America has changed direction from the appearance of inserting money into politics to influence law to change consumer choice.  Consumer choice is more important than influence through Congress.  Some may argue that point, but based on recent legislation passed through chambers of Congress, appealing to the consumer is a smarter choice at present.
