Do not overshadow Arlington Cemetery with Trumps Triumphal Monstrosity!
The National Park Service is taking
public comments on the “Triumphal
Arch” monstrosity that Trump wants
built to overshadow
Arlington Cemetery here.

Do you, a friend, or family member need help getting an ID to vote?
VoteRiders’ mission is to eliminate ID
barriers to the ballot box so every
eligible voter can cast a ballot that
counts. They provide free one-on-one
help to individuals to secure an
accepted form of ID. They not only
help you figure out what documents
you will need to get that ID — they also
request and pay for those documents.
VoteRiders will make sure
you are 100% ready to vote.
Call or text 866-432-8683, or

Spread the word to all your like-
minded friends and family members.
Florida’s version of the SAVE Act does
not go into effect until 2027. However,
it is not too early to take steps to
protect your right to vote.
Do you know who or what you are voting for?
How many times have you skipped a
race on a ballot or blindly voted for a
candidate you knew nothing about?
Have you ever voted for or against an
amendment without certainty? Even
those of us who spend hours trying to
research candidates and ballot
initiatives when we receive our sample
ballots from the Supervisor of
Elections office will often come up
nearly or fully emptyhanded.
If you live in Pinellas County,
that does not have to be the case.
Voter Action Pinellas does the
research for us, and the depth of that
research is amazing. They will not tell
you who or what to vote for but give you
all the information you need to make
decisions that fit your personal values.
Sign up now to receive your Voter
Guide for the August 18th primary. It
will be tailored to your precinct and
will match exactly what you’ll see
when you open your ballot. And tell all
your like-minded friends and family
to order their Guide today.

When you renew or replace your driver’s
license, make sure you also update your
voter registration to include your new
license number. Many people are not
aware of this new requirement. Tell all
your friends and family.
Protect the Midterms!
The best weapon we have against the
shenanigans this administration is
going to get up to in order to steal
the midterms from the American
people is an overwhelming turnout at
the polls. We all need to get involved
with our local Democratic Party and
help make sure that turnout happens.
We’re lucky in Pinellas County, to also
have Voter Action Pinellas,
a 100% volunteer-powered
organization dedicated to relational
organizing. Using personal
connections to help like-minded
voters vote. They have an amazing app
(REACH) to make the job easy. Keep
an eye out on the Pinellas page
for their Monthly Voter Action Gatherings.
But however you do it, please get involved.
Want to help save our Democracy but do not have the time? If you can spare as little as three minutes per day, you do!
Only Republican members of Congress
have the power to put a leash
on Donald Trump right now.
Join a growing list of your friends and
neighbors, and be the final straw
that convinces them to act.

PLEDGE TO VOTE EARLY
The campaigns you care about spend
thousands of dollars and thousands of
volunteer hours contacting Pinellas
voters who wait until Election Day to
vote. Modern data management tells
them who these voters are. By voting
early, you can help these candidates
win by allowing them to spend their
time and money more effectively. Vote
as early as you can so your candidates
can concentrate their resources on
those who have not yet voted.
Please pledge to request a mail ballot for
every election and vote it early. Voter
Action Pinellas will make sure that you
receive all the information you need to
vote — information about every item
on the ballot for your precinct and
where and when you can
cast your mail ballot.
Take the pledge here.
