SPECIAL ACTION ALERT: Please Call Your Senators TODAY Help Secure Voting Rights for the Citizens of the District of Columbia! Please join us TODAY, Monday, September 17, for the "National Call-In Day" in support of S. 1257, the DC House Voting Rights Act of 2007. Tomorrow Senators are poised for a critical vote -- a cloture motion -- which requires the support of 60 Senators. If cloture fails, the Senate will not even be able to consider this vital voting rights measure. TODAY we will generate a critical mass of calls to urge Senators to support S. 1257 and to oppose any attempts to filibuster or block the bill. There is a toll-free number - 866-346-3008 - for you to call your Senators. The toll-free number will take callers to a brief reminder about the importance of the DC Voting Rights Act and then patch callers through to their Senators (based on their zip codes) -- at no cost. (The number will be active between 9:00 AM and 5:00 PM EDT.) Make your voice heard with those of other activists around the country. Ask your friends, family and other League members to call as well! Citizens of the District of Columbia pay U.S. taxes, fight and die for the U.S. during wartime, and are governed by the laws that Congress passes. And yet they have no voting representation in Congress. We must right this wrong! Click here for more information about DC Voting Rights. TAKE ACTION 1. TODAY, use the toll-free number - 866-346-3008 - to call your Senators between 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM EDT. Urge them to support cloture on the bipartisan DC Voting Rights Act of 2007. Tell your Senators that the democracy Americans have fought for around the globe must be brought to our nation's capital. Please note that this number will only be active TODAY, Monday, September 17, 2007 from 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM EDT. It is important that this number is not posted on any public website. Calls may also be made through the Capitol Hill switchboard at 202-224-3121 or 202-225-3121. 2. Send this alert to other concerned citizens - your grassroots network, your friends and coworkers. Encourage them to contact their Senators today! Action Alert #110-9, Call-In Day, Senate, 9-17-07
