Legislative Leaders at the State and Federal Level: Support the For The People Act!

Members of the US Senate, Members of the US House of Representatives, Members of the General Assembly of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, County Commissioners and Election Administrators

America is facing a crisis. We must act to protect our freedom to vote and demand that local, state, and federal officials reclaim sanity, reject extremism, and support our democracy.

The president gave a major speech on the need to defend our country this week, saying that our nation is facing "the most significant test of our democracy since the Civil War.” You can watch the full speech and read the transcript from CNN at this link, and make sure to sign the petition below asking our legislative leaders o support the For The People Act and defend our democracy!

Excerpts from President Joe Biden’s speech on voting rights; Philadelphia July 13th, 2021

“There is an unfolding assault taking place in America today — an attempt to suppress and subvert the right to vote in fair and free elections, an assault on democracy, an assault on liberty, an assault on who we are — who we are as Americans.

“State legislatures want to make it harder for you to vote.

To me, this is simple: This is election subversion. It’s the most dangerous threat to voting and the integrity of free and fair elections in our history. Never before have they decided who gets to count what votes count..

"It doesn’t have to be this way. It doesn’t have to be, for real. We have the means. We just need to show the will — the will to save and strengthen our democracy.

Time and again, we’ve weathered threats to the right to vote in free and fair elections. And each time, we found a way to overcome. And that’s what we must do today… it starts with continuing the fight to pass H.R.1, the For the People Act."

From: [Your Name]

I support the For The People Act and ask that you, in your capacity as my representative, support its passage and call on you to contact legislative and party leaders to support it too. We need national legislation to provide a floor for voting standards and campaign finance reforms across the nation.

The bill would:

- establish nationwide automatic voter registration.
- require every state to create an online voter portal for registration, cancellation, correction and more.
- prohibit interference with voter registration.
- prohibit deceptive practices and prevent voter intimidation.
- require 15 days of early voting for all federal elections for at least 10 hours a day.
- Establish no-excuse mail voting for all federal elections. States would be required to allow any eligible voter to vote by mail.
- Promote accuracy, integrity, and security through voter-verified permanent paper ballot
- Provide campaign transparency.
- Enforces and strengthen campaign finance laws and contribution limits.
- Mandate disclosure of Presidential tax returns
- Provide Congressional and Executive branch ethics reforms.
- Make election day a holiday.
- Provide reasonable standards for Voter ID.
- Support poll worker training
- Support the registration of youth as they come of age.
- Increase funding for election administration.

America is facing a crisis. We must act to protect our freedom to vote, and I am asking you as a legislative leader to reject extremism, support our democracy, and protect the right to vote.
