On Monday, April 6 at 2pm, expert witnesses will be heard in room E2.108 of the Capitol Extension. RPT has arranged for several witnesses to testify both from Texas and other states. RPT has arranged for several witnesses to testify both from Texas and other states.
Tuesday, April 7 at 11:30am we will gather at the South Steps of the Capitol. There will be speakers supporting the bill including several state elected officials. We hope there are enough people there to bring the media, so everyone can see how important this bill is to Texas voters. Like last time, WEAR RED.
Upon adjournment of the House at Noon, the House Elections Committee will reconvene in the John H. Reagan Bldg. #120 (right next to the Capitol, we will walk there as a group from the south steps) to hear public testimony. Testimony will be heard until midnight. You may either sign up to testify orally (you will be given 3 minutes to speak) or you may just fill out a testimony card stating that you are FOR SB 362.
You may sign up for these starting at 10am and lasting until midnight- so even if you cannot make the rally, you can still come to testify and wear red! We especially ask Election Judges to testify. Talking points are available. We hope that this bill passes the House Elections Committee AS IS (no watering down or delaying the bill) to be heard by the full House in May. Please contact Eric with any questions about Voter ID: 512-879-4051.
Make your plans to attend and stay as long as you can at both events! It's so much more convenient for us who live in Austin to make the trip downtown and our presence is VERY IMPORTANT! And Wear RED!
