A new message from your friends at People For the American Way.

***********************

Friend,

In a Washington Post op-ed earlier this year, People For co-founder and
World War II vet Norman Lear wrote:

The right to vote is foundational.... It is at the heart of everything I
have fought for in war and in peacetime.

The right of the People to choose our leaders and hold them accountable
through elections when they don’t serve the People’s interests ... to cast
a vote and have that vote count ... and the peaceful transfer of power
based on the results of free and fair elections. American democracy has
never been perfect but over our nation’s history it has been improved and
expanded to be more inclusive.

The preservation and perseverance of American democracy is something
generations of veterans have fought for, and our commitment to the freedom
to vote and a peaceful transfer of power honors them.

Please take a few moments to join the fight here at home to preserve
democracy and protect the right to vote.

1. [ [link removed] ]If you have not already, please sign our petition urging the Senate
to pass the Freedom to Vote Act, which includes groundbreaking protections
for voting rights. >>

2. [ [link removed] ]Find an event near you during this week’s grassroots week of action
to show your support of this and other critical voting rights
protections. >>

And please take a few minutes to [ [link removed] ]read (or re-read) Norman’s op-ed about
the right to vote; it’s well worth it.

Thank you for all that you do.

– Ben Jealous, President
