Protect My Right To Vote
Dear Virginia Voter or Friend of Virginia Voter,
Governor Bob McDonnell is considering signing two new laws that will take the vote away from thousands of Virginians. These laws have one objective: to prevent people of color, seniors, immigrants, and young people from voting.
Senate Bill 1 requires that Virginians show extra and unnecessary forms of identification at the polls. Seniors, low-income Virginians, young people, and immigrant voters are the least likely to meet the new excessive ID requirements. Voters without the right ID will have to fill out a provisional ballot. House Bill 63 lets political party elites gather behind closed doors to determine which provisional ballots will be counted and which will be thrown out.
We're calling on Governor McDonnell to veto these bills today and protect democracy for all Virginians. That's why I created a petition to Governor Bob McDonnell on SignOn.org, which says:
Veto SB 1 and HB 63, and end the attack on democracy in Virginia. Government should go out of its way to make sure that all Virginians can vote. Democracy is for everybody.
