  • Rep. Pingree: Help Restore and Strengthen the Voting Rights Act
    Last year's Supreme Court decision weakened critical provisions of the Voting Rights Act (VRA), eliminating important protections for voters across the country. Too many states have weakened access to voting and Federal action is needed. A new bill in Congress can fix the VRA and restore these protections.

  • Rep. Tom Cole: Support Voting Rights
    The Voting Rights Act is one of the most important pieces of civil rights legislation Congress has ever passed. I am African American and was only 10 years old during the struggles that many died for to get this legislation passed. I grew up under the protection of this bill and ask that, right now, Congress again strengthen the provisions for my granddaughter and other young people as they grow up. Rep. Tom Cole should support this effort by cosponsoring and fighting for a strong bill.

    With last year's gutting of the Voting Rights Act, Congress must act now before voter suppression and intimidation becomes commonplace. This bill isn't perfect, but it's a good start.

  • Strengthen the Voting Rights Act
    At a time when corporations are given the benefits of citizens without the many of the obligations; at a time when the only voices being heard in Washington & statehouses are corporations and the 1%; the last thing this country needed was the Supreme Court removing protections in the Voting Rights Act. Yet they did; and immediately many states, including ours, Indiana, started to make it harder for older folks, college students and poor folks to vote! It is high time to PUSH BACK!

  • Rep. Ed Whitfield: Support Voting Rights
    The Voting Rights Act is one of the most important pieces of civil rights legislation Congress ever passed. This legislation gave all citizens equal opportunity to vote in elections. Last year's Supreme Court decision weakened critical provisions of it, making it harder for a large number of voters to cast a vote. Right now, Congress can restore those protections by passing this important bill. Rep. Whitfield should support this effort by cosponsoring and fighting for a strong bill, and ensuring the opportunity to vote for all.
