Hundreds of companies, including Amazon, JPMorgan and Netflix, signed a new statement to “defend the right to vote and oppose any discriminatory legislation,” in the latest corporate response to a wave of voting bills under consideration

Hundreds of business leaders and companies, including Amazon . com Inc. and Netflix Inc., signed a new statement to “defend the right to vote and oppose any discriminatory legislation,” the latestMore than 300 companies, CEOs and other executives signed on to the statement, which appeared as an advertisement in The Wall Street Journal, the New York Times and other publications Wednesday. The ad was organized by Kenneth Chenault, the former chief executive of American Express Co.

“There is overwhelming support in corporate America for this principle of voting rights,” Mr. Chenault said. “The right to vote is fundamental to America. It is not a partisan issue.” The statement doesn’t directly address specific voting legislation, nor does it call on companies to take business action or halt political donations to lawmakers supporting such bills.

“Clearly, we’re not being prescriptive about how people manifest their opposition,” Mr. Chenault said. “Who in their right mind would say that they want legislation that will limit people’s ability to vote?”

I agree we should make it easier for eligible voter to vote, but the problem of not requiring voter ID is it allows non-citizens to vote.

Meanwhile......🤣🤣🤣🤣 hypocrisy

If they can't clean up their acts start shopping around for relocation.

Now lets see if their behavior is consistent with this 'honorable' position.

JP Morgan Chase is vile and we need more financial services regs to protect investors, not the big banks. See this thread: JPMorganChase JPMorgan Chase JamieDimon DimonJamieBrady

America is speaking. Few are resisting!

The GQP is declaring war on corporations now by retaliating on their free speech. Citizens United will be the precedence used when the SCOTUS backhands the GQP actions.

Voter ID laws are not discriminatory. Everyone has an identity! Stop the bullshit!

Why no one can vote for their president or ceo in the respective company? We demand our rights

Omg

More useless virtue signaling. The letter they signed was full of vacuous platitudes. Special hypocrisy award for Coke and Delta CEOs for making a lot of noise and helping their home state lose the All-Star game but disassociated themselves from this. Jerks.
