Far-left Hollywood celebrities took to social media in a collective last-ditch effort to garner public support for the far-left “For the People Act” — which would nationalize U.S. elections, thereby stripping states of their ability to implement basic election safeguards — urging Americans to take action and call their senators.
Actors Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Kathy Bates, Laura Dern, Paul Bettany, and Josh Gad, as well as ABC’s left-wing late-night host Jimmy Kimmel are among the left-wing Hollywood elites pushing the Democrat bill.
The Senate is poised to vote on whether to proceed to debate S. 1, aka “For the People Act,” which passed in the Democrat-led House in March. Critics have described the measure as the “federal micromanagement of the election process” which will actually reduce the integrity of the election process.
The bill takes significant power away from the states, preventing them from implementing election safeguards such as cleaning voter rolls, requiring photo ID to vote by mail, and barring “ballot harvesting.” Some states, such as Florida and Georgia, have recently passed such laws to the dismay of the radical left.
Far-left celebrities have been engaging in a full-throttled effort to garner support for the legislation, although recent surveys show a majority of Americans disagreeing with key facets of the measure. A majority of Americans, for example, support requiring a photo ID to vote.
Celebrity couple Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom recently appeared in a promotional video warning that if the bill doesn’t pass, the “America you know doesn’t exist in our future.” Actress Jennifer Lawrence also jumped aboard, claiming that the “radical wing” of the Republican Party is actively dismantling Americans’ right to vote.

“The most important voting rights bill in decades will be voted on in the Senate today,” Veep star Julia Louis-Dreyfus said. “Don’t let your Senators end up on the wrong side of history. Tell them to support the For The People Act.”
