Dear Randall, The right to vote is being systematically taken away from the citizens of this country. Ever since the U.S. Supreme Court gutted key provisions of the Voting Rights Act (VRA), dozens of anti-voter laws have been enacted by states across the country. This ongoing war on voters is an attack on everything America stands for and undermines our system of representative democracy. That is why Im counting on you to support the League of Women Voters in this fight for our democracy today with a contribution of $25, $35 or more. If the power-hungry political operatives behind this highly-coordinated campaign to disenfranchise voters get their way … hundreds of thousands of eligible voters will be barred from casting their ballots … long lines and inadequate voting resources will wreak havoc at polling places in low-income and minority neighborhoods … and virtually every congressional incumbent member may be reelected, despite historically low approval ratings. The good news is that the League is winning. But we are locked in a struggle with deep-pocketed, partisan operatives. These special interests want the League to run out of funds—in fact, their entire strategy depends on it. For the sake of your right to vote and our democracy, we cant let that happen. The League has won several critical battles, but there is still a long road ahead and your support is now more important than ever as we fight back against this war on voters. Will you stand with the League to defend and protect the right to vote? With nearly 800 local and state Leagues across the country, the League has the knowledge, experience and capability to make sure that every eligible voter can cast a vote and have it counted. Help protect our elections and put citizens back at the center of our democracy by supporting the League of Women Voters right now. The elections are almost upon us and millions of eligible voters are at risk of losing their right to vote. Thank you for being a champion of our democracy! Sincerely, Elisabeth MacNamara President, LWVUS P.S. The right to vote is one of the most quintessential American ideals and the cornerstone of our democracy. But across our country today, this basic freedom is under siege. For almost a century, League supporters like you have led the fight to protect our sacred right to vote. Today, our democracy needs your help like never before. So please make your most generous contribution to the League right away.
