Tell Senator McConnell to allow a vote on the FEC commissioners now!

Dear Senator McConnell,
As the election season unfolds, it is critical that the Federal Election Commission (FEC) enforce our nation’s campaign finance laws.
As you know, without a quorum of commissioners, the FEC cannot either provide advice to candidates or others seeking guidance, or impose penalties on anyone who violates the law. Not only is the integrity of our presidential election at stake, but also that of our congressional elections.
We understand that you support Hans von Spakovsky to become an FEC commissioner and agree the Senate should give him an up or down vote. But by insisting that all Commission nominees be voted on together, you are holding the Commission hostage and endangering our elections.
How can the United States continue to hold its electoral system out as the ideal when the very body created to ensure that everybody plays by the rules has been defanged?
Sen. McConnell, please make sure the November elections are clean and fair; allow a vote on the FEC commissioners.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]
