We can't risk someone who disregards the rule of law being on a path to our highest court. Oppose Bove now! nytimes.com/2025/07/16/opi…
Checks & balances are essential for a healthy democracy. If legislators do bidding of administration instead of represent voters, affirming an unqualified judge, PA's civil rights are in danger. @DaveMcCormickPA: PA voters want fair maps & fair elections. afj.org/article/10-rea…

Advocacy at work in PA! Yesterday the @PAStateDept unveiled the redesigned provisional ballot envelope. In 2024, nearly 5,000 provisionals were rejected for clerical errors. We fought for these changes, and we're excited to see the positive impact! votebeat.org/pennsylvania/2…
Emil Bove is a danger to the rule of law. According to a whistleblower, he suggested the administration say “F*** you” to a court order, and he dropped charges in a corrupt deal with the mayor of NYC. He is unfit to be a judge. Call your senators and tell them to Oppose Bove.
Gene Stilp of Rock the Capitol says PA's General Assembly is "like a giant, well-protected amoeba that changes shape to protect its own survival.” Former reformers will be gathering for a press conference today, joined by former @commoncausepa executive director, Barry Kauffman.
The #PABudget might be overdue but until the negotiating is done, we need politicians in Harrisburg to say NO to any deal that trades away voting rights. Take action and contact your legislators here: commoncause.org/pennsylvania/a…
Emil Bove has put politics above the law, showing he is more concerned with serving his political masters than honoring his oath. Senators should rigorously vet him before a lifetime appointment to the Third Circuit. Read our statement here: commoncause.org/pennsylvania/p…
