I sent this to Senator Sinema
A Letter to My Senator
Dear Senator Sinema I’m proud of you
For the bipartisan bill that you shepherded through
Better roads, rails and bridges and rural broadband
But as you well know the House must take its stand
As I understand it, they’ll wait for the Senate
To pass Biden’s Family Plan; many things in it
From schooling to child care, and tax reconstruction
‘Twill have to be passed as a budget resolution
I hope and expect you’ll not stand in the way
Perhaps with some changes that you’d put in play
These two infrastructure bills will usher in
A booming economy; everyone wins
That is all well and good but I’m really concerned
About voting rights that with blood we have earned
The state legislatures are passing strict laws
Destroying democracy clearly because
Republicans desperately want to maintain
Political power. They know they can’t win
In free, fair elections. Their answer, no doubt’s
To usurp the voters where their votes won’t count
Senator Sinema surly you care
Without legislation that makes voting fair
The House will most likely in year twenty two
Return to Republicans, unfair but true
My home’s Arizona; I voted for you
As such there’s one thing I ask you to do
What ever it takes to be sure legislation
On voting rights passes protecting our nation
