Ready to take action? Good! We only have until Dec. 19th when the members of the Electoral College meet to cast their votes. Our Attorneys General need to ACT NOW and we NEED TO MAKE THEM!

WHO TO CALL:

Contact your Attorney General immediately! And daily, if you can. Find their info here: http://www.naag.org/naag/attorneys-general/whos-my-ag.php. That will give you your state’s Attorney General’s name and main number. Call them and leave a message. Then, call some of their local offices! It’ll be easier to talk to actual people that way. Making connections with staff is important! To get those local office numbers, just Google your AG’s name and “offices.” Easy peasy!

WHAT TO SAY:

Hello, my name is __________ and I’m calling to request that Attorney General __________ challenge the ‘winner take all’ rule for allocating electoral votes. The ‘WTA’ system is NOT mandated by the Constitution and it’s time to challenge it. Please stand up to this unconstitutional inequality and represent the millions of voters who disenfranchised or effectively diluted by this unfair state rule. Thank you!

Done?

Good job! You’re the best!!

Next Steps:

We’re planning some actions that involve visiting the AGs offices in person; if you’re interested in getting involved, fill out this quick form!

Share this with everyone you know – via Twitter! Facebook! Email! Messenger pigeon! Just kidding on the last one; that would be bonkers! – and think of creative ways to make the Attorneys General pay attention! Stop by their offices! Organize a gathering! Make it happen!!
