Subject: SB 956: MAJOR PRESS CONFERENCE IN TALLAHASSEE TODAY
Importance: High

 

Citizens groups from all over the state rallied on the 4th Floor Rotunda of the Capitol building, Senate side, in Tallahassee this morning at 11:00 AM at a press conference in opposition to two voter suppression bills being fast-tracked through the Florida legislature.

 

See the attached joint press release in opposition to this anti-voter legislation. More organizations are signing on moment by moment.

 

TAKE ACTION:  Keep your calls going to legislators all over the state to VOTE NO on SB 956 and House companion bill PCB-EDCA 09-08.

 

Be sure to call House Speaker Larry Cretul  850-488-1450 and Senate President Jeff Atwater 850-487-5100 to stop the bills from going to the floor of the House and Senate, which could happen as early as Tuesday, April 21st in the House and Wednesday, April 22nd in the Senate.

 

Call your Representative and Senator to VOTE NO on the bills if they get to the floor.

 

FIND YOUR REPRESENTATIVE AND SENATOR HERE:

Call Representative Dorothy Hukill at 850-488-6653, the presenter of the bill in the House, to withdraw her sponsorship.

Call Senator J.D. Alexander at 850-487-5044 and Senator Alex Diaz de la Portilla at 850-487-5109 to withdraw their sponsorship of the Senate bill.

 

Then call Governor Charlie Crist at 850-488-4441 to VETO the bill, no matter how it is amended, if it gets to his desk. 

 

These bills are bad for voters, bad for election integrity, and bad for democracy.
