Passage of Florida legislative bill HB 537 has caused 1,684,390 US voters to become disenfranchised. Unless the RNC & DNC policies are changed, this could happen to you some day; regardless of your state or party affiliation. The contents of this website will discuss this bill, what happened; and what you can do to try to reverse this situation and prevent it from recurring.

Interesting that if you look at the voting results there were only 3 dissenting votes. So...it's pretty hard to say that Democrats were disenfranchised when they voted for the change. Do you find this valuable?
