"Under this scheme, nearly a million otherwise-eligible citizens cannot vote unless they pay money" -- Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor

Friend,

Last month, the U.S. 11th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that Florida can require people with felony convictions to pay fines and fees before having their voting rights restored. In other words, Florida has instituted a modern-day poll tax.

The GOP is terrified that more than one million new voters -- disproportionately voters of color -- could swing Florida's razor-thin elections. By requiring payment of fines and fees before voting, they've blocked more than half of Florida's returning citizens from accessing the ballot box. Will you chip in today to help us fight their attacks on voting rights?

Republicans know that when more people vote, they lose. That's why they would rather keep people from voting altogether -- they will do whatever it takes to win because they know what's at stake in this election. We're doing everything we can to fight back, but we need the resources. Can we count on your help?
