Common Cause fundraises to block Sessions' confirmation

Liberal political advocacy group Common Cause is starting a fundraising campaign to stop the confirmation of Alabama Sen. Jeff Sessions as the next U.S. attorney general.

“A crucial part of the attorney general’s job is to ensure that every American has a free, fair, secure and accessible path to voting as guaranteed by the law — and yesterday Jeff Sessions went on the record showing that he won’t take that responsibility seriously,” wrote Allegra Chapman, Common Cause director of voting and elections, in a fundraising email on Wednesday.
