1. The horrible SAVE Act HR22 passed the house last week! This bill is a voter suppression bill, in spite of the fact that there is no real evidence of widespread fraud.
This bill would require citizens to present a birth certificate or a passport to register to vote.

 

Tell your Senators:

I’m calling to strongly oppose the SAVE Act HR22, which creates
unnecessary barriers to voter registration, and is designed to block voters. Especially seniors, women and low-income voters. Vote NO!

2. Last week, YOU helped to defeat SB536, which did not make it out of
committee. It was briefly really good news! However, it has raised an ugly head with the introduction of SB 640 by Senator Dismang. SB 640 has already passed the Senate, and is scheduled to be heard in House Committee TOMORROW (Monday) morning, April 14. This bill threatens the independence of the state Library Board by terminating the terms of the current Library Board members, and giving the Governor full authority
to make political appointments to the Library Board. All local libraries will suffer by this action.

 

Action:

To oppose SB640, leave pink slips for House committee members between **9:30 AM and 11:30 AM Monday** Urge them to vote NO. Focus on these members, who were either absent or voted NO on SB536:

A note from Janetta Kearney to remind us all:

Attention to legislative acts is necessary! Law is the framework for civilized society, a guiding order to human behavior.  Courts determine final interpretations of laws. Why is the newly formed Department of Justice (DOJ) telling the Courts what they cannot do? Let us pay attention to the DOJ and the Courts.
