“I want to remind all of us that the only reason we`re here in this chamber at all is because somebody voted for us. Voting rights is not just some other issue alongside other issues. It gets to the heart of who we are in the first place, a democracy. And we`ll always disagree about a whole range of issues but after politicians have argued their case about infrastructure, about taxes, about health care, about national security, the most powerful words ever uttered in a democracy are the people have spoken. Shame on us if we allow the people`s voices to be silenced in this chamber.”
