John,
This is an all-hands-on-deck moment for everyone concerned about the Freedom to Vote.
There will be a critical vote in the Senate as early as next week and senators must hear from us now!
Here’s the background: Last week, Senate Democrats introduced the Freedom to Vote Act, an important proposal designed to counteract the attacks on voting access and election administration we’ve seen in states across the country.
The Freedom to Vote Act is our country’s most comprehensive and realistic opportunity in decades to fix the way our elections are run and how Americans can participate in our democracy. We cannot let this historic chance to improve our democracy pass us by.
Call your senators TODAY at (202) 224-3121 and tell them to support the Freedom to Vote Act!
Some of the critical provisions in the Act include:
Banning partisan gerrymandering
Addressing the flood of undisclosed “dark money” in our elections
Making Election Day a federal holiday
Requiring every state to have automatic voter registration
Closing the loophole that effectively allows super PAC-candidate coordination
Protecting election administrators, workers, and volunteers from partisan interference
Standardizing the law for political ads on the internet with TV, radio, and satellite political ads
Call your senators TODAY at (202) 224-3121 and tell them to support the Freedom to Vote Act!

Tell your senators:
The Senate must come together and pass the Freedom to Vote Act to protect our elections, ensure voters’ access to the ballot box, and improve our democracy. This is a bill that both parties can, and should, support. We cannot let this critical opportunity pass us by.
This is not a Republican issue or a Democratic issue. It’s an American issue. I urge you to support the Freedom to Vote Act.
We at Issue One have been preparing for this moment for a long time. But we need your help to see it over the finish line — and we must prevent opponents of reform from politicizing and derailing this bill.
Republican senators filibustered a previous version of this bill. We can’t let that happen again.
Call your senators today and demand that they support this crucial bill to strengthen our democracy.
Thank you for all you do,
Nick Penniman Founder and CEO, Issue One
