Subject: State House Viz => This is the Week to show up for Voting Rights!
Dear Friends,I am sending this out as a personal - and yes urgent - request that you join us in Concord this week to defend and protect voting rights here in New Hampshire.The House and Senate GOP are on the verge of passing a draconian bill that threatens the voting rights of ALL Granite Staters...you and me included.Secretary of State Dave Scanlon has endorsed HB 1370 and has claimed that his office will be able to effectively implement it in time for the upcoming elections. As the top election official in NH, Secretary Scanlon has failed to address the myriad of issues this bill presents...Mr. Secretary of State, WE THE PEOPLE HAVE QUESTIONS! Among them are: Why are you claiming on the one hand NH elections are safe and secure while endorsing a bill that could disenfranchise thousands of unsuspecting Granite Staters?We are inviting Secretary of State Scanlon to answer our questions about HB 1370, and its companion bill already on the way to the Governor, HB 1569, this Tuesday at a People's Press Conference at 10 am at the State House. We will follow-up if need be with a visit to the Secretary's office, questions in hand, requesting answers.Then on Thursday from 9 to 10 am we will hold a visibility of the final House and Senate sessions when both chambers are scheduled to vote on HB 1569.I am proud that from our very first days, Kent Streeters have always shown up to protect and defend the right that all other rights depend on: the right to vote.Please sign up here so we can plan accordingly (number of signs needed, etc.)Details:Event Details:Organizers:
