The recent, controversial vote on cloture reminds us of the manipulative tactics and cowardice of Senator Chuck Schumer. As someone who passionately believes in democracy, I feel enraged and helpless as I watch our system being undermined by the people currently in power. Now, more than ever, we cannot afford to stand by and allow this pattern to continue.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC), with her intelligence, perseverance, and vast public support, has shown us time and again that she embodies the will of the people. Her strong voice and unwavering stance against the current administration suggest that she could provide the stable, resilient leadership we desperately need.

Out of 50 Democratic Senators, Schumer ranked 40th for voting against his own party, illustrating a concerning willingness to bend under pressure.

Governor Kathy Hochul, we urge you to demand Senator Schumer's resignation and appoint a leader who truly resonates with the people - AOC. This isn’t about partisan politics; it's about ensuring our democracy thrives and the power truly rests with the people. Please act now as we cannot wait any longer. Sign this petition to insist on change.
