Act now! We anticipate a vote on CAMPAIGN FINANCE OMNIBUS BILL by Saturday night. Connecticut’s Citizens Election Program is a voluntary program which provides clean elections financing to qualified candidates for statewide offices and the General Assembly. The existing text of the bill contains one extremely problematic provision that would place any online expenditures beyond the reach of the CEP program. Contact your Senator and let them know we cannot let that happen.

Senate Bill 6667 provides much needed legislation to enhance the safety of our communities. Please send an email to the Judiciary Committee in support of this bill with an added provision to prohibit fire arms at polling locations. Voters need to be able to exercise the right to vote without fear of violence or threat. The committee must release its Joint Favorable report on any bills they want to be considered by the full house and senate by March 31st, so we must act quickly to let them know we want these bills moved forward.

We are in the final hours of the legislative session and to all who already called or emailed your Senator --thank you! We are now shifting our focus to Senate Leadership. Join us to urge Senators Looney and Duff to call these bills for a vote before the end of the session!

Do you watch a local community access or a “public access TV channel” to get important information about what is happening in Connecticut? The nonprofit organizations that provide these services need our help. Contact your Senator to ask Senators Looney and Duff to call SB 278 for a vote. Then make sure your Representative also supports the bill once it is sent to the House.
