1 00:00:00,180 –> 00:00:05,760 >> To be honest it was a difficult decision on our behalf on 2 00:00:05,760 –> 00:00:11,400 attending today’s speech. We certainly understand the frustration of 3 00:00:11,400 –> 00:00:16,890 our local partners here in Georgia. It’s been a long year of 4 00:00:16,890 –> 00:00:22,560 a lot of things not being done and we we stand and we share that 5 00:00:22,560 –> 00:00:27,990 frustration and in fact we have been in communication we’ve talked to Cliff Albright he 6 00:00:27,990 –> 00:00:33,600 . We certainly share his position and understand what their frustration and 7 00:00:33,600 –> 00:00:39,090 they also expressed that they understand our position in coming 8 00:00:39,090 –> 00:00:44,060 to the table and expressing these frustrations directly to the president. 9 00:00:44,070 –> 00:00:49,740 >> We’ve been organizing and working together particularly on this campaign for this over 10 00:00:49,740 –> 00:00:55,070 a year you know in 2020 we’ve asked people to come out and vote. 11 00:00:55,070 –> 00:01:00,840 We mobilize and people came out and voted unlike numbers that we’ve ever seen before. Here 12 00:01:00,840 –> 00:01:06,160 we are in 20 22 and black and brown voters actually aren’t 13 00:01:06,160 –> 00:01:12,210 we are being silenced yet again. The fact that we are still fighting for these same federal 14 00:01:12,210 –> 00:01:17,400 voting rights protections that were called a cornerstone of the civil rights movement of 15 00:01:17,400 –> 00:01:20,170 Martin Luther King Junior and so many others. 16 00:01:20,400 –> 00:01:26,190 >> Well we saw exactly what he could do when it came to infrastructure. He was able to get the infrastructure bill 17 00:01:26,190 –> 00:01:31,860 done because he put the full weight of the White House behind getting that done. 18 00:01:31,860 –> 00:01:37,180 And what we are saying to the president that is we need to see and hear to day how you’re 19 00:01:37,180 –> 00:01:43,080 going to get these bills passed. They’re a failure as Senator 20 00:01:43,080 –> 00:01:45,040 Schumer said is not an option. 21 00:01:45,090 –> 00:01:50,720 >> And so we we we want him to use his full weight. 22 00:01:50,720 –> 00:01:56,400 We know that the White House when it really wants something done they have a lot of influence 23 00:01:56,400 –> 00:01:59,120 that they can use and that’s what we expect to hear and see.\n <\/p>\n
