Sign Petition to stop Florida voter purge

from America Ferrera, America4America.org, Voto Latino 2012 Campaign Co-Chair

After our campaign launch in DC, I got a lot of people asking, "What's America4America all about?"

My answer was simple: this is about making the 2012 elections personal for every American.

Because in November, we're not voting for politicians or political parties. We're voting for ourselves. And anywhere people are making it harder for voters to participate, we're going to call them out.

Well, it's time to step up. Voters in Florida are receiving notices that they're being kicked off the voter rolls. One victim is a 91-year old World War II veteran born in Brooklyn. This has to stop.

Sign our new petition to stop this Florida rule and let every American be heard.

Some people think that voter profiling only hurts Latino voters and other groups that are usually targeted by rules like this.

But these issues don't belong to Latinos, or to women, or to young voters, or to older voters. These issues belong to all of us, because they are American issues.

That's why I'm running this America4America campaign, because I know that all of our diverse communities can work together to make a positive impact.

November's elections may feel far away, but we have to act now to fight unfair rules wherever we find them. Stand with me and Voto Latino to demand a stop to this unfair voter profiling immediately:
