    Dear Friends:

    Representative Hank Johnson, D-Ga, along with other Members of
Congress, will soon introduce one of the most progressive anti-voter
suppression/election defense bills ever introduced in the U.S.
Congress-- the "Election Integrity Act." We are respectfully asking
your organization, or you as an individual, to be an official endorser
of the bill. Common Cause, the Transformative Justice Coalition, lead
by legendary civil rights lawyer Barbara Arnwine have endorsed the
bill.

    Attached below is a short summary and full text of the "Election
Integrity Act." This is a "gold standard" anti-voter
suppression/election defense bill. The "Election Integrity Act," will
give the anti-voter suppression/election defense movement one of the
single most powerful tools to organize, educate, and mobilize against
onerous and intentionally racist state voter suppression laws and
actions. And, be used by the social justice community and Members of
Congress to push back against local voter intimidation tactics We in
good conscience, all of us, can not allow our democracy to be stolen
by far right wing Republicans who intentionally are suppressing the
vote of African-Americans, Hispanics, senior citizens, the physically
challenged, students, and low income workers just to stay in power.
Let's not forget those who marched, struggled, and died for the right
to vote! Now is the time to go on the offensive!

    The Election integrity Act will be launched in a press conference
in Washington D.C. on September 21st, 10:00am, at the House Triangle,
in front of the Nation's Capitol. If you have any questions, please

344-1518.
