New York (CNN Business) — Chief executives and other high-ranking leaders from more than 100 companies including Target, Snapchat and Uber issued a public statement Friday opposing any measures that deny eligible voters the right to cast ballots.

"We believe every American should have a voice in our democracy and that voting should be safe and accessible to all voters," the statement said. The companies are part of Civic Alliance, a coalition that "recognizes that a strong democracy is good for business," according to its website.
The statement comes as businesses are under growing pressure to condemn legislation in Georgia, Texas, and other key states where Republican lawmakers are trying to clamp down on ballot access.

The Civic Alliance letter said its member companies "stand in solidarity with voters" and that Americans "must have equal freedom to vote and elections must reflect the will of voters."

The letter also blasted elected officials for passing or considering voting restrictions. "Our elections are not improved when lawmakers impose barriers that result in longer lines at the polls or that reduce access to secure ballot dropboxes," the statement said.

1. Then REFUSE to contribute to Republican campaigns......

That will back up words.

2. This is the key.

Unless they back up their words with action the talk is meaningless.
