Know Your Voting Rights
Monday, November 5th, 2012PENNSYLVANIA —
Your vote is your voice and your right. That’s why our efforts to protect the right to vote did not end with the Oct. 2 court decision that put a hold on the voter ID law for this election.
We have been working hard to educate voters about the fact the voter ID law is not in effect for now — a challenging task with the commonwealth’s misleading “Show it!” campaign and misinformation circulated by the state and several townships. We fought in court, unfortunately unsuccessfully, to force the state to clarify the state of the law to the public. Make sure you know your rights on Election Day by reading our voters’ rights brochure (in pdf).
ACLU of PA is part of a large coalition of groups who are working to identify and respond to problems on Election Day. Around the sate, we have lawyers on the ground, ready to go to court if needed to defend the right to vote. Call the Election Protection Hotline at 866-OUR-VOTE (866-687-8683) to report any problems.
Thank you for supporting us throughout this crucial fight to make sure every eligible voter gets to cast a ballot.
Sincerely,
 |
 Reginald T. Shuford Executive Director, ACLU of Pennsylvania |
Do You Plan to Vote Next Week?
Saturday, November 3rd, 2012Dear Citizen,
For more than a year we’ve been talking to you about the impact of the upcoming election. Now we want to hear from you.
Will you help determine the course our country takes after November 6?
The elections, now less than a week away, will impact whether small businesses and job creators have the certainty they need to invest, hire and grow our economy, or if they continue to be sidelined by regulations, tax uncertainty, and mandated decisions made by the government about their business.
As the U.S. Chamber President and CEO Tom Donohue said, “If we get the business people and those who support and believe in American enterprise and economic freedom out to vote, we’re going to be better off no matter what.”
Do you plan to vote in the November 6th Elections?
America’s job creators need your help getting out the vote in the last days of the election.
We’ll see you at the polls.
Sincerely,
Rob Engstrom
Senior Vice President and National Political Director
U.S. Chamber of Commerce
