SPECIAL ACTION ALERT: Please Call Your Senators TODAY 


 


Help Secure Voting Rights for the Citizens of the District of Columbia!

Please join us TODAY, Monday, September 17, for the "National Call-In Day"
in support of S. 1257, the DC House Voting Rights Act of 2007. 

Tomorrow Senators are poised for a critical vote -- a cloture motion --
which requires the support of 60 Senators. If cloture fails, the Senate will
not even be able to consider this vital voting rights measure.

TODAY we will generate a critical mass of calls to urge Senators to support
S. 1257 and to oppose any attempts to filibuster or block the bill. There is
a toll-free number - 866-346-3008 - for you to call your Senators. The
toll-free number will take callers to a brief reminder about the importance
of the DC Voting Rights Act and then patch callers through to their Senators
(based on their zip codes) -- at no cost. (The number will be active between
9:00 AM and 5:00 PM EDT.) 

Make your voice heard with those of other activists around the country. Ask
your friends, family and other League members to call as well! 

Citizens of the District of Columbia pay U.S. taxes, fight and die for the
U.S. during wartime, and are governed by the laws that Congress passes. And
yet they have no voting representation in Congress. We must right this
wrong!

TAKE ACTION 

1. TODAY, use the toll-free number - 866-346-3008 - to call your Senators
between 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM EDT. Urge them to support cloture on the
bipartisan DC Voting Rights Act of 2007. Tell your Senators that the
democracy Americans have fought for around the globe must be brought to our
nation's capital. 

Please note that this number will only be active TODAY, Monday, September
17, 2007 from 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM EDT. It is important that this number is not
posted on any public website. Calls may also be made through the Capitol
Hill switchboard at 202-224-3121 or 202-225-3121. 

2. Send this alert to other concerned citizens - your grassroots network,
your friends and coworkers. Encourage them to contact their Senators today!
