I've been working to secure voting rights most of my life and I'm not going to let some misguided southern white men take them away.

Because we need everyone's participation in the democratic process and not just a select few.

“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. Swalwell should support this effort by cosponsoring and fighting for a strong bill.”

At this time of honoring Martin Luther King, Jr. and the civil rights movement in 1964, voting rights is one of the most important parts of the civil rights legislation that Congress ever passed. The Supreme Courts decision last year severely weakened key parts of voting rights. This is a major step backwards in civil rights protection. Congress can repair and restore this legislation. Rep. Honda should support this necessary effort to strengthen this legislation.

For Voting rights for The American People

Many jurisdictions consistently target groups of voters simply because insider privileges are threatened by one man one vote democracy. Even the simplest election made crooked is difficult to entirely reverse. To prevent these free attacks on democracy the voting rights act identified the offending jurisdictions and had them prove first that any tinkering was not going to perpetrate targeted voter exclusion. The supreme court has on a narrow party line removed that protection, and the free attacks are in process in corrupt districts newly unleashed across the country. This petition calls on Kevin McCarthy to chose justice over corrupt special interest and to stop the devious bigotry now in progress.

The Voting Rights Act is one of the most important pieces of civil rights legislation Congress has ever passed. Without it We the People loose the right to choose who represents us. A Republican district like the 26th, would never allow Rep Julia Brownley to serve in Congress if the votes of Black, Brown, women, student, and seniors are eliminated. This is Representative Brownley's chance to shine by cosponsoring and fighting for a STRONG Voting Rights Act of 2014!

Not only do I now live in a state that has very nearly disenfranchised certain peoples, I also used to live in North Carolina, a state where voters have been subjected to harsh, new voter ID laws. This and other laws like it destroy the ability of minorities and the poor to have their voices heard; however, the new Voting Rights Act of 2014 could help those people and in time become a stronger law in itself. Urge Representative Tim Murphy to cosponsor this bill and strive to make it better for the future.

Last year's Supreme Court decision weakened critical provisions of the Voting Rights Act. Right now, Congress can restore those protections by passing this important bill. Rep. Calvert should support this effort by cosponsoring and fighting for a strong bill.

Yes, I feel that the GOP is Texas is trying to disenfranchise women, veterans, minorities and seniors ... everyone currently on the voting rolls should be automatically allowed to vote without photo id .. any changes to voting rules should be for future voters
