Friend -- We can’t exaggerate the urgency here -- we need folks like you to demand federal voter protection to combat the rising tide of racist, anti-democratic voter suppression laws in states across the country. THOUSANDS of people have already signed on. Check out the email Chuck sent you about why your participation is so important. - Team Schumer ---FORWARDED MESSAGE--- Friend -- In states across America, voting rights are under attack by racist, Republican bills that make it harder to vote, especially for vulnerable communities and people of color. That’s why we need federal legislation to protect voters. The For The People Act is a landmark bill that will secure our elections and protect the right to vote -- and the Senate is going to vote on it in just a few weeks! But our majority is as slim as it gets, and we’re running out of time to put pressure on the rest of the Senate to do the right thing. So I’m asking you to stand up and demand voter protections.
The reason we’ve set a 100,000 signature goal is because that’s a big enough number to get big attention, and demonstrate the vast scale of support for voting rights. The Republican attacks on voters are systematic -- some of the bills are drafted word-for-word by dark money groups like the Heritage Foundation. These laws have nothing to do with democracy, and we cannot let them stand. As one of the first 100 folks to demand that the Senate pass the For The People Act, you’ll inspire others to join you and make your position as a defender of democracy clear. Thanks for standing up for voting rights, Chuck Schumer |
