Ask Your Congress Member to Restore Government to the People by Passing the Fair Elections Now Act!
Congress has the opportunity to pass sensible reforms that ensure voters' voices are not drowned out by lobbyists and the flood of big money into campaign coffers. Arizona Representatives Raul Grijalva and Gabrielle Giffords have already signed on as co-sponsors to the Fair Elections Now Act, HR 1826. Please click on their names to thank them.
We need the rest of the delegation to sign on as well. Click on the link below to send a letter to your member of Congress asking that they pass the Fair Elections Now Act.
At a time
when America is facing enormous challenges--Wall Street greed and recklessness,
the Gulf Coast oil disaster threatening lives and livelihoods for generations,
and one in ten Americans who want to work unable to find a job--the voice of
everyday Americans is being drowned out by the flood of big money.
It's time to restore government to one that is of, by, and for the American
people. Members of Congress should focus on the interests of their
constituents--and not the special interests funding their campaigns.
It's time to make our elected officials accountable to everyone, not just
corporate donors and lobbyists. It's time to pass the Fair Elections Now Act
(H.R. 1826, S. 752)
Help One Arizona Increase Latino Voter Turnout by 65,000!
For the past two years law enforcement officers from the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office and several other municipal police departments have been stopping people of color for "improper lane changes," "improper right or left turns," or for no reason at all and turning anyone who cannot prove legal residency over to ICE. Unless and until the Department of Homeland Security instructs ICE not to accept non-criminal aliens, people of color in Arizona will continue to live in fear, and people of conscience will continue to fight to protect the human rights of all Arizonans.
The most important action you can take is to support a large-scale effort to register and turnout Latino voters this fall. We need volunteers to make phone calls, enroll current voters in the Permanent Early Voting List, and register voters at events and door-to-door. Contact AzAN at volunteer@azadvocacy.org or 602 297-2500 to lend a hand!
