A new Bill To Stop Voter Purging - Like Florida 2000

from...

Stop The Voter Purges





A new bill to prevent the wrongful purging of large numbers of minority voters from voter rolls, as happened in Florida (among other states) in 2000, has been introduced by Rep. David Price (D, NC). Among the additional original sponsors is Rep. Rush Holt, sponsor of HR 2239, of which Rep. Price was an early co-sponsor. There is some possibility that the two bills will be handled together, possibly generating new momentum to get them out of committee.

To add to that momentum, please check whether your congressman is among the 23 sponsors of the bill. If not, please do everything you can to encourage her or him to co-sponsor the bill.



A pass the word, this is important.



Protect American Voters Act of 2004

(Introduced in House)

HR 4250 IH 108th CONGRESS 2d Session

H. R. 4250

To amend the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 to require States to provide notice and an opportunity for review prior to removing any individual from the official list of eligible voters by reason of criminal conviction or mental incapacity.

IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

April 29, 2004 Mr. PRICE of North Carolina (for himself, Ms. CORRINE BROWN of Florida, Mr. DAVIS of Florida, Mr. HASTINGS of Florida, Ms. JACKSON-LEE of Texas, Mr. DAVIS of Illinois, Ms. LEE, Mr. BALLANCE, Mr. CLAY, Mr. FORD, Mr. OWENS, Mr. PAYNE, Mr. TOWNS, Mr. WATT, Mr. WYNN, Mr. BERMAN, Mr. DINGELL, Mr. HINCHEY, Mr. BRADY of Pennsylvania, Mr. CASE, Mr. GRIJALVA, Mr. SERRANO, Mr. SHERMAN, and Mr. HOLT) introduced the following bill; which was referred to the Committee on House Administration.



Is your Congressperson on the list?

In not, write 'em!
