Republican Effort to fix the next election in Ohio headed for court.

Dear jack,
Last Monday, the Ohio Joint Committee for Agency Rule Review (JCARR) voted to uphold the restrictive and illegal voter registration rules enacted by Secretary of State Ken Blackwell. But People For the American Way Foundation is still in the fight!
Many of you signed PFAW Foundation’s Election Protection 365 petition denouncing the burdensome regulations and urging JCARR to do the right thing and reject right-wing voter suppression tactics in Ohio. By a party-line vote, your calls for justice were turned down.
Today, People For the American Way Foundation joins several other civic organizations in filing a lawsuit to overturn recent changes to Ohio election law – including Secretary of State Blackwell’s undemocratic rules. PFAW Foundation believes the changes in Ohio law violate the Voting Rights Act of 1965, the National Voter Registration Act of 1993, and protections contained in the first and fourteenth amendments of the U.S. Constitution.
While PFAW Foundation is busy trying to protect the integrity of Ohio’s election system by fighting voter suppression tactics in court, People For the American Way is running full throttle in what has become a real battle to renew expiring provisions of the Voting Rights Act.
Our emergency petition to save the VRA has reached 50,000 signatures, and to further ratchet up the pressure on Congress, PFAW will be holding public demonstrations, conducting meetings with House staff, keeping this issue in the media, and redoubling our efforts – with your help – to get as many new signatures on our petition as possible, so we can deliver more box-loads up to Capitol Hill when Congress gets back from break!
If you have not signed the petition, please do so now at www.SaveTheVotingRightsAct.org.
