Last year, the Supreme Court gutted the landmark Voting Rights Act of 1965. Since then, Republicans across the country have raced to implement new restrictive laws that would do exactly what the Voting Rights Act was meant to protect. But now, there's a chance to stop that. Late last week, Representatives Jim Sensenbrenner (R-WI) and John Conyers (D-MI) and Senator Patrick Leahy (D-VT) introduced new legislation—the Voting Rights Amendment Act of 2014—that would strengthen the Voting Rights Act. Right now, Congress can restore those protections by passing this important bill. Rep. Bishop should support this effort by cosponsoring and fighting for a strong bill.”

Last year's Supreme Court decision weakened critical provisions of the Voting Rights Act, which had protected that right for many Of our citizens.

Because Voting is an American Right, and we the people must protect it. The idea of a few, to keep Americans away from the polls, is wrong. Freedom to VOTE, must be protected.
