Support the "Count Every Vote" Act!

On February 18th, Senator Hillary Clinton and I introduced the "Count Every Vote Act" -- critical legislation that will bring overdue reform to our election system and restore the faith of all Americans in their most basic, fundamental right.

Every citizen of this country should be guaranteed that their vote matters, that their vote is counted, and that in the voting booth, their vote has as much weight as that of any CEO, any member of Congress, or any President.  Our democracy is the centerpiece of who we are as a nation, and we must take action now to ensure that the American people have full confidence in our electoral system.

Today, I ask you to join the fight.  Email your Members of Congress using the form below, and ask them to join Senator Clinton and me in the Senate, and Representative Stephanie Tubbs-Jones in the House, to co-sponsor the "Count Every Vote Act."

In Friendship,

Sample Letter for Campaign

Subject: Co-sponsor the Count Every Vote Act!

Dear [ Decision Maker ] ,

On February 18th, Senators Barbara Boxer and Hillary Clinton introduced the "Count Every Vote Act" -- critical legislation that will bring overdue reform to our election system and restore the faith of all Americans in their most basic, fundamental right.

Every citizen of this country should be guaranteed that their vote matters, that their vote is counted, and that in the voting booth, their vote has as much weight as that of any CEO, any member of Congress, or any President. Our democracy is the centerpiece of who we are as a nation, and we must take action now to ensure that the American people have full confidence in our electoral system.

I urge you to join with Senators Boxer and Clinton, and with Representative Stephanie Tubbs-Jones in the House, to co-sponsor the "Count Every Vote Act."

This critical legislation will bring about the kind of comprehensive election reform that our nation so desperately needs, restoring the confidence of all Americans in the integrity of federal elections.

Sincerely,

Campaign Launched:
February 28, 2005
