UPDATE:

Thanks to everyone who signed on to support AVR! We delivered the letters to our legislators and advocated with a great group of people from the North Shore. I have another action item for AVR. This bill has already had a hearing, and now a lobby day. It is still in committee. Let’s email the committee members, expressing our support of the bill. This is especially important given the Pence/Kobach commission investigating voter fraud (non-existent).

Feel free to modify the letter below, or share your own reasons for supporting this bill. You can email each person individually, or cut-and-paste all of the addresses into the BCC field of your email. Then each member will get a copy of the email, but will not see the entire list. And remember to CC your senators and reps!

Committee: Joint Committee on Election Laws
