| Verified Voting: Adopt a legislator next week!
IMPORTANT NOTE: Since we began this campaign, VerifiedVoting.org has found it important to capture new information about those who are interested in this issue. This information includes State, Congressional District, volunteer preferences and so on. This information is becoming more and more important - please update your record today. http://www.verifiedvoting.org/endorse_checkmail.asp ------------------------------------------------ H.R.2239 and S.1980 must be enacted SOON! And you can help. We learn from what you tell us, and we have learned from you (thank you very much!) that many legislators aren't holding town meetings during the recess. So there is really not much need to continue researching their recess schedules. We're changing our tactics accordingly, and we need you to join us in this new effort. There's only about one more week before the Senators and Representatives head back to DC, so take some time and do something really valuable for your country. You'll be really glad you did. PICK ONE LEGISLATOR AS YOUR PROJECT FOR THE WEEK -- one of your Senators or your Representative (if not already a co-sponsor). Send us an email at pass2239@verifiedvoting.org and let us know the one you adopted. Then: a) If your state page (see http://verifiedvoting.org/states.asp) doesn't have the schedule, check your legislator's web sites. If it isn't there either, just call the office and ask. If the legislator has a public appearance or meeting scheduled, ATTEND. Stand right up in the meeting and ask "Will you co-sponsor The Voter Confidence and Increased Accessibility Act?" Take flyers from our resource/download page (http://verifiedvoting.org/article_text.asp?articleid=138) and pass them out to others at the meeting. Check here for guidelines on holding an individual meeting. http://www.verifiedvoting.org/resources/town_meeting_resources.asp OR b) If no meetings are scheduled, please let us know. Then schedule a meeting of your own in the legislator's local office. At worst, meet with the staff. Let them know you support the bills and ask if they do. Take information to leave with them. OR c) If that's too much for your schedule next week, then call and try to set up a phone meeting with your legislator. If that doesn't work, let the staff know you are strongly in support of the bill. Fax them information afterward. IMPORTANT: Be sure to send us an email at pass2239@verifiedvoting.org and let us know anything you find out!! We need this information to continue moving in directions that are effective. Thank you so much, ~ The VerifiedVoting.org team |
