We need to let ALL legislators know how important it is to protect the right to vote in NC.

They will be under a lot of pressure to pass this bill because there are budgetary provisions – spending, raises, and tax cuts – that a lot of constituents want. BUT THE VOTING PROVISIONS NEED TO BE REMOVED or should be voted down.

#VotingRights Alert SB105, the budget bill, goes to the #NCGA House floor this week. There are several anti-voter provisions. Tell legislators how important it is to protect the right to vote in NC. THE VOTING PROVISIONS NEED TO BE REMOVED or the bill should be voted down. #ncpol

NC Legislators are trying to sneak anti-voter bills that haven’t gained traction in the NCGA into the required budget. These provisions have been struggling to get through the #NCGA because they’re bad for North Carolinians and there has been sustained pressure against them.

The budget should be about appropriating funds to our communities – not stifling our right to vote. Other than wasting taxpayers’ money on a voter ID program for a law that’s not in effect, the bill’s proposals do not directly relate to government funds.
