Is your elected official planning to restrict your rights?

Even if you might feel does not apply or affect you... are you sure?

Sending this to my elected officials.

I am writing to express my strong opposition to any action that unnecessarily reduces polling locations or otherwise makes it more difficult for eligible citizens to exercise their right to vote.

The right to vote is fundamental to our representative government. Government officials should work to ensure that voting is free, fair, accessible, and reasonably convenient for every eligible citizen, regardless of political affiliation.

Any decision to close or reduce polling locations should be based on legitimate administrative needs and should not have the purpose or effect of discouraging lawful participation. Decisions about access to the ballot must never be driven by fear of an election result or by an attempt to gain a political advantage.

If you vote for measures that unnecessarily restrict access to voting or reduce polling locations, please understand that citizens have the same right to organize peacefully and lawfully in response. I, along with others who share these concerns, am prepared to:

Contribute our own hard-earned money to support lawful civic and electoral efforts.

Walk our neighborhoods and speak directly with fellow citizens.

Attend public meetings and make our concerns part of the public record.

Organize peaceful marches and demonstrations.

Create signs and distribute information.

Host community meetings to educate voters about the actions of their elected officials.

Encourage citizens to register, vote, and hold their representatives accountable at the ballot box.

This is not a partisan issue. Whether an official is Republican, Democrat, or belongs to any other party, the principle is the same.

We, the people, will vigorously defend our right to vote. We will oppose efforts that improperly restrict that right, and we will use the lawful democratic process to hold elected officials accountable for their decisions.

I respectfully ask you to protect voting access, preserve adequate polling locations, and ensure that every eligible citizen has a fair and practical opportunity to cast a ballot.

Respectfully,
