Prominent Republicans like Senator Mitch McConnell (R-KY) insist corporations should "stay out of politics," particularly "divisive" issues like voting rights. Dallas-based AT&T is following the McConnell playbook. Yes, the company says it believes "the right to vote is sacred" and supports "efforts to enhance everyone's ability to vote."

We need that. Ideas, Judd?
Democracy is only a transitional state between oligarchy & then autocracy. A republic never lasts. The oldest one on Earth was established in the year 1600. Many have come and gone since.
