Pennsylvania will play a critical role in the 2012 election. We must make the Pennsylvania election a fair and honest election.

HB 934, which requires “proof of identification” for voters in primary and general elections (generally known as “Voter ID”), was passed by the PAState House but is stuck in the State Senate. Please call and email Senator Jake Corman, Chairman of the Senate Appropriations Committee, and ask him to move HB 934 to the Senate floor for a vote without further amendments. Senator Corman’s Harrisburg office number is 717-787-1377. When you call if the Senator Corman is not available you can ask for Scott who is the Senator’s legislative assistant.

After contacting Senator Corman, please take the following actions:

Contact other members of the Appropriations committee (See the list below). Urge your own State Senator to support HB 934 (voter ID).

It is vital that Pennsylvania have this legislation in place in 2012 for the Primary on April 24, and especially for the General election on November 6.

The Senate is only in session for about five or six days in January, so your immediate attention is requested. Please pass this on to your friends.
