| Can you call Rep. Meeks? Ask him to sign on as a cosponsor of the Voting Rights Amendment Act of 2014 and stand up for voting rights. Representative Gregory Meeks |
Our voting rights campaign is working! Since we launched our Defend the Vote campaign in nearly 400 congressional districts across the country, twelve more members of Congress (four Republicans and eight Democrats) have signed on to cosponsor the Voting Rights Amendment Act—the critical, bipartisan legislation that would restore most of the protections of the Voting Rights Act and help millions of voters in upcoming elections.
But your member of Congress, Representative Gregory Meeks, hasn't yet signed on. Right now, we only have a short window of time to move forward this critical piece of voting rights legislation. That's why it's so important for Rep. Meeks to hear directly from you today so that we can show how much of a priority this is to his constituents.
Can you call Rep. Meeks right now and ask him to sign on as a cosponsor of the Voting Rights Amendment Act of 2014 and stand up for voting rights?
Here's where to call:
Representative Gregory Meeks
Phone: (202) 225-3461
Hearing directly from constituents is one of the most effective ways Rep. Meeks can be convinced to join this effort right now.
Making a call is easy. Just tell the person who answers the phone who you are, that voting rights matter to you, and that you want Rep. Meeks to support this legislation. Here's an example of what you might say:
"Hi. I'm your constituent and I live in [YOUR CITY]. I'm calling to urge Representative Gregory Meeks to sign on as a cosponsor of the Voting Rights Amendment Act of 2014. Restoring the protections of the Voting Rights Act is critical to protecting the vote in upcoming elections and it's important to me that Rep. Meeks help lead the effort to improve and pass this bill."
