Technology currently being used regarding PA Voter Suppression Bill(One of The Big Three)
Celeste Taylor
Hello PGH online-organizing group,
I wanted to share the below with you as a follow-up to the presentation by Paul O'Hanlon and I at the May 10th 2.0 regarding one of The Big Three and how online technology is being used to educate, mobilize and organize.
If you are not on the PA Voice or PVC(PA Voters Coalition) listserve you will not receive these messages so please let me know if you want to join them.
In keeping with the ground rules that Craig mentioned, I will not be sending you anymore messages about this particular campaign.
Thanks a lot.
Celeste

(Please forward to your networks!)
Dear Protect Our Vote members, supporters, and friends:
There
is a dangerous piece of legislation advancing in the PA State House
that will lead to voter suppression if enacted, so it is critical that
you take action!
Introduced
by House State Government Chairman Darryl Metcalfe, House Bill 934
would require every Pennsylvania voter to provide valid state- or
federally-issued photo ID every time he or she goes to the polls. This
will create major problems for citizens who are not drivers and who
therefore do not have drivers’ licenses – senior citizens,
urban-dwellers who use public transit, people of color, and young people
– and the PA County Commissioners have testified that they’ve seen no
evidence of a problem with fraudulent voting. Additionally, based on
similar laws implemented in other states, HB 934 will cost PA taxpayers
tens of millions of dollars.
HB 934 is will likely be scheduled
for a vote in the House the first week of June. We are encouraging
concerned citizens to email the members of the committee to express
opposition to this legislation. Send an email to your PA House
Representatives by clicking this link: http://statevoices.salsalabs.com/o/58/p/dia/action/public/?action_KEY=69.
Also, please sign on to the Protect Our Vote Coalition to receive timely emails about this issues. Contact Jeff Garris at jga...@infoservicesgroup.net to help stop voter suppression in PA!
