Team,
Did you get a chance to sign our petition yet? The Republicans just unleashed a full-scale assault on our democracy introducing the most restrictive voting laws since Jim Crow.
We need your help to stop the GOP’s shameless power grab. The clock is ticking — and Republicans aren’t slowing down their voter suppression efforts.
Let’s do this.

Subject: The GOP’s new winning strategy revealed:
Team,
Here’s the situation: Georgia Republicans just approved a bill repealing no-excuse absentee voting — limiting weekend early voting, making it harder to vote by mail, and restricting ballot drop boxes.
1.3 million Georgia voters used this law to cast ballots by mail in 2020. Republicans know they can’t hold power in Georgia unless they suppress voter turnout. This is a shameful power grab.
But it gets even worse: The latest bill in Georgia is a part of a Republican national effort to attack the voting rights of millions of Americans, especially in Black and brown communities.
43 states are on the verge of passing 253 voter suppression bills — a coordinated power grab to win both chambers of Congress and the White House. In short, our voting rights are on the chopping block, Friend.
We are witnessing the biggest set of voting rights rollbacks since the Jim Crow era. No one can afford to sit on the sidelines during this unprecedented attack on voting rights.
We have a chance to stop Republicans and make real progress in the fight to defend our voting rights-- but only if we make our voices heard loud and clear.
Thanks for your support,
Blue America Project
