    Maine League of Young Voters Action Alert: Let's Get Busy!

    by: editor

    Wed Jun 22, 2011 at 16:00:00 PM EDT


    Email blast from Maine League of Young Voters:


    Governor LePage just signed legislation to end same day voter registration. With the stroke of a pen, Governor LePage ended a 38 year tradition of helping people (especially young people) to vote and participate in our democracy. We heard from members across the state that they are enraged by the law.

    We're not going to give up our voting rights without a fight. Yesterday, we marched right down to the Secretary of State with a group of Mainers who filed papers to begin a People's Veto of a new law that makes it harder for people to vote.

    Will you help us protect the right to vote?

    Then e-mail your name, town, and general days/times of availability to Nicola@theleague.com

    We have less than three months to collect more than 57,000 signatures to place a People's Veto on the ballot.

    We need you in order to be successful. Sign up now to be part of the grassroots campaign to save our voting rights.

    If we don't stop this law, tens of thousands of young folks in Maine could be turned away the next time they try to vote.

    WE CAN DO THIS.

    Will you sign up now to be part of this grassroots effort to overturn this assault on voting rights?

    Then email your name, town, and general days/times of availability to Nicola@theleague.com. We can't do this alone. Let your friends know how they can join the People's Veto movement:
