đŸ”¥Resistance. Every. Day.đŸ”¥

Postcard to Texas Secretary of State:
Thank you for not using Crosscheck system which leaks citizens’ data and purges legitimate voters from the polls. 
Address: Elections Division, Secretary of State, P.O. Box 12060, Austin, TX 78711-2060.

Email to Rep. Pete Olson and Senators Cornyn and Cruz:
I value voting as a cornerstone of a healthy democracy. A Pew Center report shows that a majority of both Republicans and Democrats support automatic voter registration, same-day voter registration, an election day holiday, and restoring the vote to returning citizens. To support expanding voting participation, I would like you to co-sponsor the Voter Empowerment Act of 2019 (S. 549/H.R. 1275).

Called Senators Cornyn and Cruz:
 I value fair and accessible voting. Stacking districts prevents fair representation in Congress. Now that H.R. 1 has passed in the House, can I count on you to support voting fairness as it moves to the Senate? Will you urge Senate Majority Leader McConnell to bring it to the floor for a vote? Thank you. 

Sent a small donation to Equal Votes.

Postcards to state Rep. Phil Stephenson and state Senator Joan Huffman:
I support automatic voter registration, especially because it empowers citizens with disabilities to exercise their right to vote. I hope you will work to pass legislation to implement automatic voter registration in Texas. Thank you.

Wrote letters to Texas Secretary of State, State Senator Joan Huffman, and State Representative Phil Stephenson:
The outcome of the 2020 election hinges on whether U.S. voting systems are trustworthy. Hand-marked paper ballots (HMPBs) are the gold standard for election security. While some congressional leaders and for-profit voting tech companies insist that high-tech alternatives to hand-marked paper ballots are safe from hacking, they are not. Texas voters must be able to hand-mark their ballots (with accommodations for disabled people) and be able to verify their vote is counted. I look forward to hearing from you about how you plan to ensure Texas implements HMPBs well before the 2020 presidential election. Thank you.

Called Rep. Pete Olson and Senators Cornyn and Cruz:
I’m calling to encourage you to co-sponsor legislation that would give DC residents a voice in Congress. Every taxpaying citizen should have the right to elect people to represent their values. Can I count on you to support H.R. 51/S. 631?

Called Rep. Pete Olson and Senators Cornyn and Cruz:
I’m calling to express support for the vote-by-mail system that states like Oregon and Washington enjoy. Voting by mail gives voters time to make informed choices, reduces the expense of operating polling places, and increases security and voter participation. To expand vote by mail nationally, I would like you to cosponsor the Vote By Mail Act of 2019 (S. 26/H.R. 92).

Thanks for all you do! Vote by mail really is great (our residence is Oregon).
