The Rules Committee of the US Senate will reportedly be conducting a hearing on S.1487 on July 25.
Recommended Action:
Please contact both US Senators from your state (link provided below), and ask them to read this analysis of S1487 [1], and to work to improve the bill -- or if amendments fail, to withdraw support and vote it down.

There are 25 areas of function, and many of them have severe problems.
I hope that all activists can agree that this bill is the wrong way to election reform.
I hope we can have a strong showing at the hearing next week, to demand a better bill and to make sure that our Senators understand why each of these flaws is wrong, and how to improve it.
