(CNN) Democrats from President Joe Biden to the most junior member of Congress must immediately make saving America's democracy their only priority. O'Rourke warned that while Republicans are "focused with everything in their system" on enacting law that threaten our democracy, Democrats are not fighting against it "with the same urgency or power that the situation really demands." Congressional Democrats need to raise alarm bells in the media by delivering a unified message with Biden and members of Congress flooding the airwaves. House Democrats in March did pass the sweeping "For The People Act" that protects voting rights in a host of ways -- but it has since languished in the Senate. Democrats in Congress should also play hardball by threatening to withhold infrastructure funds to any state that imposes laws that make it harder to vote.
