• the Voting Rights Amendment Act of 2014
    I am an advocate of social justice and human rights FOR ALL in a country that espouses that while certain politicians try to deny the poor, the underprivileged and the elderly those rights. Our constitution and the Declaration of independence support this view of inalienable rights

  • Cosponsor and Improve the Voting Rights Amendment Act of 2014
    The right to vote is main the support of our democracy. Our vote gives us voice in our government. Last year the Supreme Court decision weakened provisions of the Voting Rights Act causing some of us to have less of a chance to exercise this right. Congress can restore and protect our voting rights by passing this important bill. Representative Judy Chu should support the effort to pass this Amendment by cosponsoring and fighting to strengthen it.

  • Rep. Cotton: Be a Real Hero - Stand up for Voting Rights!
    The Voting Rights Act has been one of the most important pieces of civil rights legislation ever passed by Congress, but last year the Supreme Court made a decision that severely weakened certain critical parts of the Act. Now, Congress can restore those protections by passing an important bill. We urge Rep. Tom Cotton to support this effort by cosponsoring a strong bill and fighting for its passage.

  • Representative Gutierrez: Support Voting Rights
    The Voting Rights Act ( VRA) is one of the most important pieces of civil rights legislation Congress has ever passed. Last year the Supreme Court based their decision to weaken critical provisions of that Act on the assumption that conditions in the states no longer warranted Federal intervention. However, since the Supreme Court's decision there have been moves in various states to institute measures once again impeding access to voting. Our democracy: of the people, by the people and for the people, is based on the enfranchisement and participation of citizens, not corporations. For this reason, I am initiating this petition.
