The Act was weakened last year by a Supreme Court decision which now need to be restored and strengthened without delay. Lets show the congressmen there is great support for this!!

The Voting Rights Act is one of the core pieces of civil rights legislation, something for Congress and the American people to be proud of. Now is the time to counteract the Supreme Court's decision of last year which weakened critical provisions of the act and imperils the ability of citizens to participate in our democracy. Representative McGovern, please fight to strengthen and pass this important bill to protect our hard-won rights.

I am supporting the revision of the Voting Rights Act because the powers that be are trying to reverse our progress in this country. For example, in Texas, they've tried to redistrict and set more restrictive voter I.D. laws to make sure the minorities and opposing party don't have a fighting chance in any election. The Republicans want to make sure that the power stays in the hands of the rich, white few males who only support agendas that fill their own pockets. We must stand against them and regain the rights for all to vote. We cannot let them move our progress backwards anymore. We must not let them tear down the Voting Rights Act anymore! It needs to be strengthened if we are to continue to move forward as a country.

The Voting Rights Act is one of the most important pieces of civil rights legislation Congress has ever passed. Last year's Supreme Court decision weakened critical provisions of it. Right now, Congress can restore those protections by passing this important bill. Rep. Smith should support this effort by cosponsoring and fighting for a strong bill.

It's time to come to the aid of the silent majority

I'm not willing to let the government send me backwards in time by stripping me of my right to vote. My ancestors fought hard for the freedoms that my family and I enjoy. I grew up believing in my constitution and I will fight for my constitutional rights!

I believe all people should have a right to vote without unnecessary burdens that are , it seems to me, slanted to favor a political party.

The proposed changed to strengthen Section 5 extends to all states and jurisdictions. Based on the nationwide assault on voters, this is no longer a "Southern" issue. A nationwide formula is long overdue and a good start to re-affirming the most basic right of every citizen.

To ask Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen to make sure that the people in her district have their voices heard by being able to vote for the person of their choice. That they will be represented fairly in their district no matter whom they cast their vote for. That they should be able to trust that their vote will be counted. Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen knows there is a lot of voter fraud in her district, especially absentee voter fraud which has resulted in some elected officials being convicted of various offenses. She needs to address this issue with the people of Miami.
