Email Now to support National Popular Vote

​Your Action of the Week:
"Email NOW to support National Popular Vote" 


This message was received on 5-21 from Daily Koz.  Action is needed right now as the "today" refered to in Wednesday, 5-22. 

We are so close to passing SB 870—so that Oregon can join the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact, putting us ever closer to electing the president by national popular vote. But we need your last-minute help today.

The Oregon House Rules committee is scheduled to vote on SB 870 TOMORROW, after holding a hearing on the legislation yesterday. We need a strong showing to get the bill out of committee, and send it to the House floor.

Sign and send the petition to your Oregon State Representative: We must elect our President by National Popular Vote, and SB 870 will help Oregon lead the way.

In a democracy, every vote should count the same and the presidential candidate who gets the most votes should win. But that won't happen until we reform the electoral college with the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact--an agreement among states to give their electoral votes to the national popular vote winner.

When states totaling 270 electoral votes join the compact, then it goes into effect and the winner of the national popular vote will automatically win the electoral college.

Right now, states totaling 189 electoral votes have joined the compact—and the stakes are getting higher. We are getting closer to the 270 mark to finally put the National Popular Vote Compact into effect, but getting Oregon on board right now is key.

Your involvement is critical right now. SB 870 was stuck in the Oregon State Senate for years, but with your hard work we were able to get an unexpected victory in April. Now, we just need to get it passed out of the House committee tomorrow, then the full House floor—and on to the Governor's signature.

Sign and send the petition to your state representative: Oregon must join the National Popular Vote Compact. Vote YES on SB 870, before the House goes out of session.


Sign and send the petition

Keep fighting,
