November 2016 Election: Voters with Disabilities Experience Survey

We need your help to learn more about your voting experience for the 2016 Election. The Help America Vote Act (HAVA) was passed to make sure everyone in this country could cast a private and independent vote. Now, we want to make sure the law is working. You can help by completing this survey. We have several ways for you to do that. You can go on-line at the Self Advocates Becoming Empowered website, www.sabeusa.org or your state Protection and Advocacy organization website. You can do this independently or with help from someone, you choose.

If you have any problems completing the survey using the internet, contact Juliana Huerena at prinzajana17@gmail.com or (602) 502-7426.

ACTION ALERT:
Protect the Power of AZ Voters

A six-bill package has been introduced that poses a serious threat to democracy in Arizona. These bills (HB 2255, HB 2320, HB 2404HCR 2002HCR 2007, and SCR 1013) would each impact a different aspect of the voter referendum and initiative process. If passed, these bills would remove a substantial amount of power from Arizona voters and put it in the hands of special interest groups and lawmakers. Four of these bills (HB 2255, HB 2320, HCR 2002, and HCR 2007) will be heard in the House Government Committee on Thursday at 9:30 am.

These icky anti-voter bills have been endorsed by Arizona Chamber of Commerce President Glenn Hamer. Hamer thinks the initiative process and other forms of direct democracy are our state's "Achilles heel". He also says that Arizona's teachers are "crybabies" - but that's a conversation for a different day. 

We know better, Mr. Hamer. Democracy makes our state stronger. 

Take action today by signing in to RTS against HB 2255, HB 2320, HCR 2002, and HCR 2007, or by calling or emailing the members of the House Government Committee. 

Let's make it especially clear to the Committee Chairman, Representative Coleman, that this attack on democracy will not stand. Call, email, send carrier pigeons. 

We've made it really easy for you - just click on a Representative's name, sign your name, and hit send.
