  • Rep. Schock: Support Voting Rights
    I am starting this petition to help restore the Voting Rights Act, section 4, struck down in 2013 by the Supreme Court. Congress can restore those protections by passing this important bill now, ahead of the 2014/2016 elections. Representative Schock of Illinois, HD18, should support this effort by cosponsoring and fighting for a strong bill.

  • Representative Brooks; support voting rights
    The Voting Rights Act is one of the most important pieces of civil rights legislation which opened up the right to vote to many who had been unfairly denied their voice at the polls. It was weakened by last years Supreme Court decision, but now Congress can restore those protections by passing this bill. We ask Rep. Brooks to join this effort by cosponsoring and voting for this bill.

  • Rep. Clarke: Support Voting Rights
    In the original legislation there was a provision that required certain states to report their redistricting plans to the Department of Justice. to make certain that they display racial equality. A handful of folks brought suit arguing that sufficient time had passed so that the states not be required to submit their redistricting plans and the Supreme Court voided that petition agreeing with the petitioners that the States that previously had to submit their redistricting plans need not do so any longer. I am starting this petition because I feel that these states should still be submitting their redistricting plans to make certain that all citizens be treated fairly.
