[ [link removed] ]Tell the Senate: Protect vote by mail! Sign now >>

PFAW Member,

Trump and Senate Republicans are attacking our right to vote by mail in a
blatant effort to disenfranchise everyday Americans in the middle of a
global pandemic. After they returned from their most recent recess, Senate
Republicans were unable to put forward a proposal that would meet the
needs of millions of people struggling across the country or provide much
needed funding to secure our elections, expand vote by mail, and provide
support to the USPS.

Rather than take up the House bill that was passed in MAY, Mitch
McConnell’s attempt to provide a watered-down relief bill failed to pass
the Senate – a sign of just how inadequate the Republican proposal was at
providing real relief.

comprehensive coronavirus relief now! >>

Republican legislators in states like Oklahoma and Texas are refusing to
make absentee voting more accessible. Their restrictions could pose
insurmountable barriers for voters – especially Black voters and other
voters of color.

And Trump – who cast a mail-in ballot in this year’s primary – has tried
to undermine vote-by-mail in every way he can. He has spread widely
debunked lies about the reform... threatened state officials who promote
vote-by-mail... and even targeted the Postal Service, as his hand-picked
postmaster general Louis DeJoy tries to slow down mail delivery. Their
machinations against USPS have already had dire consequences for people
across the country who are seeing severe mail slowdowns in the delivery of
vital packages such as medications and bills.

All of this while Trump’s campaign actively encourages his supporters to
vote by mail – the double standard is appalling!

[ [link removed] ]Add your name to this petition TODAY to tell the Senate that it is
their DUTY to protect vote by mail and the USPS! >>

Let’s be clear: All eligible voters should have the right to cast their
ballot by mail. Mail-in voting is a paper-based system that is safe and
accessible. It can easily be audited to ensure election results are
correct – and it has already been tested and proven secure in states
across the country.

It is VITAL that the Senate invest the $3.6 billion in elections systems
nationwide – and the $25 billion for the Postal Service – that experts say
we’ll need to hold safe and secure elections this fall.

[ [link removed] ]If you believe that Congress shouldn’t let this pandemic strip us of
our right to vote, sign this petition NOW. >>

In solidarity,
