SB 362

Friday, March 6, 2009

It's been two legislative sessions and now it's #3. It's time to get the Voter ID Bill PASSED!

RPT, TFRW and the Texas Rep County Chairmen's Association are coordinating a Lobby and Testimony event on Tuesday, March 10 beginning at 7:45 AM on the South Capitol steps. All supporters of fraud-free elections and having EVERY VOTE COUNT should actively support this bill.

  • It gets at least 70% support from Democrats and over 90% support from Republicans, so let's get out and show our representatives that we want VOTER ID to pass in the state of Texas. It will not disenfranchise any voter. It will make all who vote legally more confident of the vote and our system less prone to 'imposter voting'.[talking points]
  • Make your opinion heard by attending and staying for as much of the hearing in the Senate Chamber (2nd floor Capitol, East Side). Complete a card expressing your support if you are not planning to make personal testimony.
  • WEAR RED! We want everyone to SEE our Support!!

I'll keep you posted on the next step....the House needs to pass it and that may be more difficult in the days ahead. Prepare for other gatherings and testimony.

And call your representatives, even if they are Democrats and tell them you want them to vote FOR Senate Bill 362 (your Senator). Sen. Kirk Watson SD 14-D 463-5949 and Sen. Jeff Wentworth SD 25- R 463-0125 Leave a polite, clear message if the answer machine is taking messages this weekend.

Everyone can afford to have a photo ID. Even welfare recipents have photo ID. They wouldn't get their check cashed without it. So that argument is moot.
