Subject: Restoration of Voting Rights is an Executive Order away - Help make it a reality

Hi All,

RIHD has been working with Cathy Woodson of VOP assisting hundreds of citizens throughout the Commonwealth with the restoration of their voting rights application and filing.  Many have had their rights restored; however, more is needed -- An executive order to restore voting rights to former felons!  We can do this....

Another opportunity for this to happen before Gov. Kaine leaves office is for YOU to take the time TODAY!

 

Will you take the time today to call or email Gov. Kaine encouraging him to issue an Executive Order concerning restoring voting rights to former felons.  Please share/forward this email. 

 

Contact Governor Tim Kaine

Telephone:   (804) 786-2211 Tele
