5 Calls Phone app

He's known for his work in several presidential administrations and as U.S. Secretary of Labor under President Bill Clinton. He has had a distinguished career in public service and academia.

We are all concerned about the avalanche of issues facing us in the ongoing attacks on our democracy. Making phone calls to our representatives is effective. In the Senate and House, phone calls & emails are tallied immediately, unlike postcards or letters.

The 5 Calls is an easy and effective way for U.S. voters to contact their representatives and make a political impact. As you may know, we can contact senators even if they are not from CA. If you want to contact representatives in other jurisdictions, you need to enter a zip code in their area.

Several of us have found the app easy to use. You can select the issues most important to you. 5 Calls will provide a script and the phone numbers of your senators and representatives.

You can download the 5 Calls app to your phone from the app store, and make your calls from your phone.

For more information about 5 Calls go to https://5calls.org (…but make the calls from your phone).

Oppose the Passage of SAVE Act

Call your Representative

On Feb. 3, the Brennan Center for Justice published an announcement here about "The Bad Voting Bill that Refuses to Die”.

IIt alerts us to oppose passage of the SAVE Act, which would stop millions of eligible Americans from voting. You may recall that last year the House narrowly passed legislation that would effectively require Americans to produce a passport or a birth certificate to register to vote. The bill stalled in the Senate following a chorus of alarm from across the country, but has returned, revamped…and worse.

Brennan Center research shows that at least 21 million voters lack ready access to the documents required in the bill. Roughly half of Americans don’t even have a passport. Millions lack access to a paper copy of their birth certificate. Many more voters have names that are different from those on their passports or birth certificates, including married women who have changed their last names.

Plainly, it would be the most restrictive voting bill ever passed by Congress. This amped-up version of last year’s bill would prohibit universal voting by mail, bar states from counting ballots received after Election Day, and require states to conduct voter purges in a way that would kick many eligible citizens off the rolls.

While passage in the Senate appears unlikely, it will be up to Democrats to hold their ground and ensure the SAVE Act’s ultimate defeat. It will be up to all of us to not be fooled by the myths and the lies — and to protect our elections so they remain free and fair. We should also stand with election officials who now face threats of groundless criminal prosecution for doing their jobs.

So please call your Senators and Congressperson to express your opposition to the SAVE act.

Message

As your constituent, I urge you to oppose the SAVE Act. Studies show that requiring Americans to produce documents like a passport or birth certificate to register to vote would block millions of eligible U.S. citizens from voting.

Federal and state laws already make clear that only American citizens can vote in elections. And the National Voter Registration Act requires citizens registering to vote to confirm their citizenship status. The SAVE Act would merely disenfranchise the more than 21 million Americans who don’t have documents like a passport or birth certificate readily available.

We should be protecting the freedom to vote, not restricting it. Please reject this anti-voter bill.

Thank you,
