As Congress prepares to begin marathon voting session known as ‘Vote-a-rama,’ Protect Our Care’s Coronavirus War Room Director Zac Petkanas released the following statement:
“Republicans are widely expected to roll out every stunt in the book during ‘Vote-a-rama’ today but let’s be clear what their intent is: obstruct, obstruct, obstruct. They will do anything to stop Congress from doing its job and acting quickly on President Biden’s American Rescue Plan to get the pandemic under control.
“Instead of working in a bipartisan way with President Biden and Congressional Democrats to get struggling American families the help they need, Republicans will try to derail the legislation with every foolish amendment under the sun that have no chance of passing.
“It’s not a good use of their time and it’s certainly not a good use of anyone else’s time. We encourage the American people to do themselves a favor this evening and turn on Netflix or do a puzzle. Literally anything besides watching this pathetic side-show.”
