Restore American's Right to VoteThe preservation of American Democracy demands the ‘consent of the governed,’ and voting is the method by which Americans give that consent. Any nation ruled by unaccountable officials who choose their constituents cannot, and likely will not, maintain the freedoms promised by a nation where the people choose their representation.67 of 100 SignaturesCreated by J Chris Henry

Rep. Payne,Jr: Support Citizens Voting RightsOver the years, your vote has often elected the candidates of your choice. It has made you feel that said candidates had an obligation to you to live up their campaign promises..... and that you have the right to hold them responsible if they don't. It made you feel powerful and important.... it is the power of" Choice". It lets you know that as long as you have a "Vote" you have a "Voice". Now more than ever that vote allows us to keep good people in office and remove those that we deem unworthy. It is one of the things that separates us from a "Dictatorship". Now what if you lost your power to "vote"? What if you lost your power to choose the candidate of your "choice"? What if you lost the power to choose where you will live, how your children will be educated, what religion you practice..........and even who you can marry? Well, if the "Voting Rights Amendment Act" of 2014(VRA) is not passed then some people may lose their vote, their freedom of "Choice".17 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Rosemary Brooks Bittings
