E-mail From Barbara Boxer Support the "Count Every Vote" Act!
Support the "Count Every Vote" Act!

Dear ******



On February 18th, Senator Hillary Clinton and I introduced the "Count Every Vote Act" -- critical legislation that will bring overdue reform to our election system and restore the faith of all Americans in their most basic, fundamental right.


Every citizen of this country should be guaranteed that their vote matters, that their vote is counted, and that in the voting booth, their vote has as much weight as that of any CEO, any member of Congress, or any President. Our democracy is the centerpiece of who we are as a nation, and we must take action now to ensure that the American people have full confidence in our electoral system.

Today, I ask you to join the fight. Email your Members of Congress as part of my new e-advocacy campaign, and ask them to join Senator Clinton and me in the Senate, and Representative Stephanie Tubbs-Jones in the House, to co-sponsor the "Count Every Vote Act."


I hope all Members of Congress will join together in a bipartisan way to enact this critical legislation. But if the past is any indication, we still have a lot of work to do. That's why reaching out to your elected representatives is so critical -- especially when multiplied by hundreds of thousands of Americans speaking with the same voice.


With your help, we’ll fight for the kind of comprehensive election reform that our nation so desperately needs. Please email your Members of Congress now -- and then invite all of your friends, family, neighbors, and colleagues to join our cause!


In Friendship,





Barbara Boxer
U.S. Senator





Send a letter to the following decision maker(s):

Subject: Co-sponsor the Count Every Vote Act!

Dear ,

On February 18th, Senators Barbara Boxer and Hillary Clinton introduced the "Count Every Vote Act" -- critical legislation that will bring overdue reform to our election system and restore the faith of all Americans in their most basic, fundamental right.

Every citizen of this country should be guaranteed that their vote matters, that their vote is counted, and that in the voting booth, their vote has as much weight as that of any CEO, any member of Congress, or any President. Our democracy is the centerpiece of who we are as a nation, and we must take action now to ensure that the American people have full confidence in our electoral system.

I urge you to join with Senators Boxer and Clinton, and with Representative Stephanie Tubbs-Jones in the House, to co-sponsor the "Count Every Vote Act."

This critical legislation will bring about the kind of comprehensive election reform that our nation so desperately needs, restoring the confidence of all Americans in the integrity of federal elections.

2. Signed it
There is a link to print out letters to your reps. I used that and sent off three letter this afternoon. I think they might pay more attention to hard copies than e-mail.
