Dear fellow Democrat,
Your action is urgently needed. Next Tuesday, March 10th, 2009 the Senate "Committee of the Whole" will conduct a hearing in Austin on proposed photo Voter ID legislation in the Texas Senate chamber.We need you to be there to help defend our fundamental right to vote by testifying and registering your opposition against this bill, which is part of a national Republican campaign to suppress the vote and keep failed leaders in office.Here's what we're hearing regarding the specific schedule that day, which the Senate Republicans have imposed:
9 a.m. - Hearing will begin with invited testimony
Midday - Hearing resumes with public testimony after the daily Senate session
If you are able to join us in this fight, please use this link to provide us with some information. We will equip you with the information you need to fight back against Republican efforts to suppress the vote.This photo Voter ID legislation violates the most sacred right in our democracy by placing bureaucratic hurdles and red tape between you and the ballot box. Virtually every academic study, legitimate nonpartisan groups like AARP and the League of Women Voters, and every major Texas newspaper editorial board oppose this Voter ID proposal. Even those who cannot attend the hearing can join the fight.
Click here to take action today.
Thank you and we look forward to a big turn out next Tuesday, March 10th.
Sincerely,
Boyd Richie
Chairman
Texas Democratic Party
