, including PepsiCo, Amazon and Target, threw their support behind updating the Voting Rights Act in a letter released Wednesday.
"Despite decades of progress, impediments to exercising the right to vote persist in many states, especially for communities of color. We need federal protections to safeguard this fundamental right for all Americans," the letter, obtained by NBC News, said.The legislation was named in honor of Rep. John Lewis, the longtime Democratic congressman from Georgia and leader of the civil rights movement who died last year.
Legalized cheating is what the Democrats want. Codifying their efforts to encourage non-citizens to “vote.”
Half the country doesn’t care and thinks your “news organization” is a propaganda arm for the DNC
Yeah is NBC is one too
Well, IF the big corporations support it, its no good for you !
Now we know what companies to boycott. Be sure to remember that.
THE VIDEO DEMOCRATS DON’T WANT YOU TO SEE!! TheBigLie
Will they also pledge to paying a $15 per hour minimum wage?
How about the right to expect to make sure all votes are legal. You have to have an ID to drive, or take out a book from a library.
reedgalen Yeah... I guess. They seem to vacillate depending on whatever is convenient from one day to another. I suspect they continue to bribe errr... donate anyway. Probably promise lotsa money if GQP candidate agrees to keep it secret.
reedgalen Well those same companies are in bed with the chamber of commerce. The largest lobbyists in the county. The chamber is against voting rights. Corporations words mean nothing without breaking from the Chamber Do it.
reedgalen Now do some research and see how much money these companies have given the GQP since Jan 6.
Maybe we should update the 2nd Amendment.
Okay, they wrote a letter, but who are they writing their donation checks to?
And have they all stopped funding all insurrectionist politicians?
85,000 CHILDREN STARVED TO DEATH IN YEMEN -DONE IN THE NAME OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE! YOU TAX DOLLARS HARD AT WORK TERRORIZING THE WORLD--OVER 50,000 DEAD IN VENEZUELA FROM USA SANCTIONS! PRIVATE CORPORATIONS ARE CRUSHING THE COMMONS!
America should change to a 23 letter alphabet. Delete G, O, and P.
RagsII Are any also funding Republicans who voted against certifying the election? It’s easy to sign a public statement. Who, and what, do they support with funds?
1886 THE RAILROADS BOUGHT THE SUPREME COURT AND CREATED 'PERSONHOOD' FOR CORPORATIONS--THIS IS AGAINST THE USA CONSTITUTION! WHEN THE MEDIA SAY 'CORPORATE DONATIONS' THIS IS SLAVE SPEECH MIND CONTROL--THEY ARE BRIBES!
Good. Now pay all your employees a LiveableWage to show that you respect American workers contributions to your companies’ bottom lines. BuildBackBetter & help get the VotingRightsAct passed or expect to go out of business. WeThePeople have been marginalized for far too long
Great fantasy but they still donate to Republicans so I call Bullshit
Cut the donations to GOP candidates then I will believe them.
Keep going corporate America!! Support small businesses!! I’m all for it! Push the majority and watch your stock prices fall!! woke=broke!!
Good Trouble
These same companies that give GOP and Democrats money need to put their money where their mouth is because they only listen to their Corporate Donors.
I would rather have these companies back those who keep them in business I.e., American voters, then those who are working to destroy Democracy I.e., Republicans.
Money in politics is acceptable again.
They are the root of the problem! Dark money has created an imbalance for everyday people.
Ty___Webb what the hell is a 'letter' gonna do? . . . why don't they stop bribing the treasonous fascists with $$?
Big deal. One letter in favor of voting rights. How many dollars donated to the party and the candidates who oppose voting rights?
More performance art. Great.
BillyBaldwin Who knew PepsiCo, Amazon, and Target were part of the Deep State, ANTIFA, BLM cabal ? What's next, hippy, commie, pinko, kiddy blood slurping, pedophiles, infiltrating Walmart ?
Then put your donations behind it
All fine and handy, but... These corps - know - 'timing is everything' JLVRAA covers PRE-CHANGE authorization from the DoJ By the time the JLVRAA were to be passed, St R legislators will have already done all the damage they're targeting. JLVRAA does not cover 'existing' laws
I don’t understand what they support?
The voting rights act and civil rights acts were upheld in the sixties, honor it, instead of your insulting dishonest narrative that it is happening today. These legislators are worse than the rioters at the capitol because they should know how democracy works.
They were voted in as legislators, they went to Washington to endorse a federal authoritarian government bill that is corrupt. They are not upholding democracy in their state. Their behavior is just as bad as the rioters at the capitol.
grudging1 Sure, they'll write a letter, but will they stop donating to politicians who are putting these laws in place? Not likely
BillyBaldwin I guess the real 'we the people' is Target, PepsiCo, and Amazon. GeneralStrike
eclecticbrotha Letters mean nothing unless they're followed by actions. And the ONLY action Republicans understand is withholding money
BillyBaldwin Walmart are YOU listening? WTFacts?
BillyBaldwin What is social media doing to dark money in OUR politics? WTFacts?

Just saying that they support the voting right act is not enough they have to do it by actions like stop supporting the people that are against it and their companies if they own
TheLiberalPoet That's great, but they need to pull support from anyone opposing it as well. Making a statement, while good, if not supported by actions is meaningless.
“Who are you, Bagel Bites?”
Thousands of DV2021winners are crying; begging for their dreams; which they've won after decades of attempts. They're ready to pay any price but they can't bear losing their lifetime chance. We've faith in media; it can deliver their voices to the authorities. Please help them.
And....
voxrob Oh look! Companies I can purchase things from...
A dictator's minions
I'm from Canada and never was I capable to understand your voting laws. What I do understand is that republican states want to limit voting rights to certain citizens. So like the rest of the world, we now understand that the greatest democracy on earth is elsewhere.
There should be an actively reported update to the names on this list, and equally important, which are not.
Those libcuck... *checks notes* multinational conglomerates.
originlbookgirl This is the only thing that speaks, since the disastrous Citizens United decision.
Pepsi… thanks for helping me make a decision.. SCREW YOUR PRODUCTS.. NO MORE PEPSI, COKE, NIKE PRODUCTS IN MY HOUSE.. YOU SELL YOUR SHIT PRODUCTS, LEAVE THE VOTES TO THE COMMUNIST CONGRESS
Shit, Georgia had better hurry and pull all the Pepsi products from the soda machines, too. RC Cola, your day has come again!
These companies make these statements so they can tout it in their PR but will then turn around and fund Republicans that are drafting voter suppression laws.
MSNBC Talk is cheap. Remove all funding from all republicans, state and federal. They only understand money, money is their god.
MSNBC If these corporations were really serious about supporting democracy, they'd stop all support, esp. financial, of the Authoritarian GOP. And, NO, both parties aren't 'the same'; the GOP have been Authoritarians since 1920 and practice all 24 of the Principles of Authoritarianism.
and they need to stop donating to republicans who did not certify Biden's election. Need to keep the pressure on and slam Koch's dirty money
