Dear Friends of Fusion Voting and the Oregon Working Families Party:

Only a few weeks remain in the Oregon Legislative session. We need to take action right away to support HB3040 -- the bill to restore fusion voting in Oregon. Your trips to Salem, calls, emails and handwritten letters to support HB3040 have kept the pressure on. Let's keep up the good work!

Many legislators, including Rep. Chip Shields, Sen. Brad Avakian, Rep. Brad Witt, Rep. Arnie Roblan and our chief sponsor, Rep. Jeff Barker, have been staunch supporters and have been doing everything they can to pass HB3040. Now we need to start focusing on the legislators that we have not heard from yet, or who are still deciding whether they should support fusion voting. So we need your help!

Please send an email to your State Representative and State Senator right now!

We encourage you to use your own words to urge your legislators to vote YES on HB3040. Feel free to use the language we've suggested as a starting point. Be sure you include the bill number, HB3040, in your message.

To take action, follow this link:

With only a few more weeks to go, your help can make fusion voting a reality in Oregon!

In solidarity,
