Voting is a right - Photo ID will return Missouri to the Jim Crow Era - Call the Missouri Senate today and lets do our part to prevent this UnAmerican effort

Dear Missouri Voter Protection Advocates:

1) PHOTO ID -- Today, the Missouri Senate Financial, Governmental Organizations and Elections Committee held a hearing on the Photo ID bills, HB48/216 and HJR5/12. The committee will likely vote next Monday. Please contact members of the Committee (http://www.senate.mo.gov/11info/comm/fina.htm) and urge them to vote NO on HB48/216 and HJR5/12. Click here for Advancement Project's fact sheet on the Photo ID bills. 


2) EARLY VOTING - Secretary of State Jason Kander's Early Voting Commission has released its recommendations in support of Early Voting in Missouri. Check out our submission and recommendations to the Commission at: http://b.3cdn.net/advancement/2ef922aec26823cfdf_73m6b8q9n.pdf.


3) MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS TOMORROW, MARCH 5! KNOW YOUR RIGHTS AT THE POLLS
