While you are there, testify on the Voter ID bill.
Subject: New Voter ID Bill: We need your presence and support in Madison on the Wednesday, May 11, 2011
Dear Colleagues and Friends:
Assembly Bill 7 (AB 7) will require Wisconsin voters to provide a photo ID when casting their ballots at polling sites or mailing absentee ballots. If this Voter ID Bill is implemented as currently written people who live in Wisconsin will be disenfranchised.
Your support is needed! The Wisconsin State Assembly is scheduled to begin session at 10:00 a.m. on Wednesday, May 11, 2011 to debate AB 7 and its proposed changes to voter rights.
The ‘meeting’ location for Wednesday is the gallery of the Assembly Chambers, which is accessible from the 3rd floor in the West Wing of the Capitol. The Assembly ‘meeting’ is not an actual meeting where the public gives testimony. However, anyone who cares about the effects of the bill should have a large contingency of people represented in the galleries while the Assembly debates the bill. We are also asking older adults, people with disabilities, advocates, and all people who will be impacted by the Voter ID Bill to go to the Capitol on Wednesday, May 11 to try to meet personally with your legislator to indicate your position on the bill. You can do this by going to your legislator’s office or by asking the office staff to have the legislator ‘pulled’ from the floor or caucus. This is done frequently when constituents visit Madison from home districts.
This is the link to determine who your legislator is: http://legis.wisconsin.gov/w3asp/waml/waml.aspx
