Today’s Action: Guarantee the RIGHT to vote

It’s an election year, and Republicans are right to be shaking in their boots and retiring at an unprecedented rate. But in some states, Republicans are hoping they can overcome their unpopularity by denying millions of American adults their right to vote.

In these states, citizens are robbed of their right to vote because of a past conviction even after they have served out their sentences. In Florida alone, 1.6 million have had their voting rights taken from them — one in 10 adults.

Now, we have a chance to change this un-American, partisan political attack on our fellow citizens’ rights.

The good people at StayWoke and OurStates.org have led an effort to get voter rights restoration on Florida ballots this year, and they are very close to getting the signatures they need by the February 1 deadline.

Let’s help them get over the top. Here’s what you can do:

• Help cover the cost of sending petitions to Florida voters (including return postage).
• Share the Petition with friends via Facebook or Twitter or email.
• If you live in Florida, print and fill out the petition, and return it by mail — this week to ensure it arrives on time.

Every American deserves the right to have a say in their government — especially those who have paid their assigned debt to society. That right is being denied to far too many of us, and this is our chance to do something about it. But we have to act fast.

Help guarantee the right to vote today.
