Erie County Action Team

WANT CHANGE?
TAKE ACTION!

We will be posting important information about legislation that you should be aware of and you may want to contact your legislators about. We will provide you with actions to take by calling or e-mailing your State Legislators or Congressmembers – along with Best Practices and scripts. You must let them hear your opinion on issues important to you! This is easy to do! Let’s get started!

You can send e-mails or make phone calls at any time – day or night! You can leave a message on their office answering machine when you call. Staff members will document your opinions and let your legislator know your point of view.

  • Best Practice: A short, concise message; no venting.
  • Best Practice: No matter how or when you contact your legislator, always let them know you are a voting constituent, your name and what your zip code is. If you would like for them to respond back to you with their position on issues, tell them you would like a response and give them your full name, address, city and zip code.

Even if Senator Brown and Congresswoman Kaptur have already signed onto a bill, please contact them to THANK them for supporting bills you also support! They always appreciate hearing from constituents!

  • I am calling about Sub HB458 and asking you to VETO this bill for the following reasons:
    • Will eliminate voting on the Monday before Election Day.
    • Will institute strict photo ID requirements for voting that will be a hardship on seniors and citizens who don’t drive by not allowing alternative identification options; no alternative of provisional ballot countable with last four digits of SSN.
    • Will require photo ID and last four of SSN for absentee and UOCAVA (military/overseas) voters; will disenfranchise service members.
    • Will prohibit Secretary of State from mailing unsolicited absentee ballot applications.
    • Deadline for receipt of absentee ballot application/request will be shortened to seven days before Election Day.
    • Limit one drop box per county and must be on Board of Elections property.
    • Drop box may be available only when Board of Elections is open.
    • All absentee ballots must be received by Board of Elections by close of polls on Election Day; absentee ballots will not be counted if received after 7:30pm on Election Day.
    • No curbside voting except for those who are physically unable to enter the polling place.
  • Thank You for taking the time to listen to my concerns. Please VETO Sub HB458.
