Florida Voters Just Say No! To Repressive Voter Legislation
Friday, April 24th, 2009 @ 7:29 am | We Think
As Yogi Bera would say, “It’s deja vu all over again.” Florida legislators are poised to enact what many are calling “the most horrific voter suppression legislation seen in many years”.
According to sources such as the American Civil Liberties Union, ACLU, the proposed law set for a vote in the Florida State legislature today, Friday, April 24, 2009, the new law will make it harder for citizens to exercise their constitutional right to vote.The bill known as SB 956 / HB 7149 covers every aspect of voting in Florida from soup to nuts. We’ve looked over it and it simply means more hoops to jump through for the citizens who wish to express their political opinion in Florida at the polls. This is more bureaucratic red tape for Florida voters.
We urge you to contact your Florida State Representative or your Florida State Senator today. Tell him or her you are a constituent and that you’d like the Representative/Senator to vote “NO” for bill SB 956 / HB 7149. You may want to remind the staff person as a constituent you’ll be watching the performance of the elected official who is to represent your interests in the state legislature. Remind him/her if they perform well, do a good job, they’ll get to return to Tallahassee following the next election; if not they will join the millions of Americans seeking other employment.
