Hi Matthew,
Whatever you would like! Sorry that it was a little sloppy, so many people
responded, which was great but no we’re trying to churn out letters
quickly. Love all the edits.
If you guys want to sign on as a group that’s great! I had meant
individually signing on but I think a crew from the Hillsborough Dems would
be very impactful.

*Point of clarification*; this is a letter that you are asking a GROUP of
people to sign on to, not to have it submitted by multiple times by
different people, correct?
*Second point*, I suggest putting in a sentence that summarizes exactly
what HB1264 does that makes it so egregious (for those non-political geeks
who will be reading the LTE but haven't been keeping up with the ins & outs
of HB1264),
*Third point*: I'm offering input, but I DO NOT wish my name added to the
LTE (not because I don't support it, but because I'd like to fly under the
radar)
*Fourth point*: here's one 1 minor edit/correction to Katy's last
paragraph.
<snip>
The Governor has shown that he will only ignore the advice of his
corporate sponsors when <remove the word *he>* it is politically
expedient. That’s why we have to work together to make it clear to Sununu
that vetoing this bill is the politically expedient choice. Call Governor
Sununu today (603) 271-2121 and urge him to say no to HB 1264. Call today,
before it’s too late.
<end of snip>
Thanks to everyone being willing to make this happen on the fly and in
real time.

Hi Katy!--
Thanks so much. Here's a draft for you to look over. Please let me know
if you'd like any help submitting it to your local paper.
Sarah
Later this week, young voters across the state will see whether Governor
Sununu keeps his promise to them when he will finally decide to either sign
or veto the voter suppression bill, HB 1264. Late last year, Sununu said he
“hates” this modern day poll tax and that he would “never support anything
that would suppress the student vote.” Despite this promise, the governor
hinted that the bill would be “hard not to sign, to be honest” if the NH
Supreme Court would do what it just did, ruling HB 1264 as constitutional.
Even though the Supreme Court deemed this bill constitutional, Sununu
must still veto this bill. Historical and contemporary examples teach us
that just because something is constitutional does not mean that it is
right. Regardless of what the court says, it is clear to see that its
passage is harmful and immoral.
The sole purpose of a poll tax is to limit the electorate and stack the
cards in the favor of politician holding office. Such a practice is an
affront to ethics, but then again, the governor has shown that ethics is
not a concern in his administration. Siding with special interests,
nominating his unqualified cronies to significant positions, and failing to
swiftly condemn harmful policies and rhetoric of President Trump are just
some pieces of evidence that highlight the governor’s disregard for doing
the right thing. And after looking at his long and storied record promoting
and supporting voter fraud lies, it’s really no surprise that Governor
Sununu is leaning towards signing it.
Because a bill’s constitutionality does not determine its moral
rightness, the Supreme Court’s decision that HB1264 is constitutional does
not mean that is should be signed into law. It will pervert what should be
a free and fair election cycle.
The Governor has shown that he will only ignore the advice of his
corporate sponsors when he it is politically expedient. That’s why we have
to work together to make him vetoing this bill the politically expedient
choice. Call Governor Sununu today (603) 271-2121 and urge him to say no to
HB 1264. Call today, before it’s too late.

Subject: [HillsboroughNHDems] Voter Suppression LTEs!
Hi all,
As I'm sure you've all seen, the NH Supreme Court just ruled 3-2 that
the voter restriction bill HB 1264 is constitutional, paving the way for
Governor Sununu to sign this terrible bill into law.
I'll be highlighting the details of this tomorrow during the normal LTE
email but today I wanted to see if anyone would be willing to sign onto an
LTE that we've drafted, so we get our response out to local papers quickly.
If you are, please email me back and we can send you the draft to look over!
Thanks so much and talk to you tomorrow.
Sarah
