>>Pennsylvanians Call On Pat Toomey To Support For The People Act
(Harrisburg, PA) -- A group of Pennsylvanians and organizations are calling on Pennsylvania Senator Pat Toomey to support the For the People Act. The groups gathered outside of his office yesterday, saying that the legislation would expand voter registration, guarantee early voting and vote-by-mail options. It would also create independent redistricting commissions, combat gerrymandering and more. Toomey opposes the bill, saying that the act would nullify state voter ID laws, mandate public funding of political campaigns and transform the Federal Election Commission into a partisan body empowered to limit free speech.
