Dear Senators Sinema and Kelly, 

I am a resident of Tucson, Arizona, a mom of seven, and a lover of this great state. I love its diversity. I love the diversity of the land, the weather, and especially of the people. We are great because we are diverse.  We live up to this greatness when our voices and our government reflect our diversity.  We must protect the right of every Arizonan to be heard and to have their diverse needs reflected in policy. We must protect the right of every American to have their diverse voices heard. 

Most Arizonans agree.  Most American citizens agree. We are better when everyone’s voice can be heard. Voting freedom is an issue of national importance that deserves national protection.  The protections in the Freedom to Vote act will promote a democracy of diverse voices. And they are supported by a majority of voters.  

It is time to be a part of the change that is needed on Capitol Hill. The divisiveness needs to end.  The partisan politics needs to end. Those who have been voted in and given a huge platform and responsibility need to do all they can to promote discussion and compromise and fairness. 

Please do all you can to allow this bill to come to the floor for discussion and then work with the other elected officials to create a bill that can pass and that can protect the right of all citizens to vote. 

Respectfully,

Rachel (AZ)
