• Rep. Reichert: Stand Up for Voting Rights
    If we as citizens don't act to protect the right to vote, which people all around the world are literally dying to obtain, our democratic form of government will be gravely weakened.

  • Voting rights at risk
    We need to expand voting rights, not restrict them in any way, and strengthen the voting rights act! Recently Danbury, CT Republicans attempted to move the easily accessible Park ave historic polling place to the sometimes snowbound Moose lodge, making it harder for people to vote.

  • Keep Marching Forward with the Voting Rights Act!
    This is a basic civil rights issue. Should be a slam dunk after SCOTUS decision last year

  • Rep.Maloney
    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. Smith should support this effort by cosponsoring and fighting for a strong bill.

  • Please co-sponsor the 2014 Voting Rights Act.
    Our voting rights are sacred, and should not be abridged. No sooner did the Court strike down section IV of the Voting Rights Act than many states mobilized efforts to disenfranchise Democrats, especially disadvantaging women, the elderly, and people of color in the process. It is a positive move that the proposed law extends protections nationwide, and even though it doesn't protect against voter ID laws, it's a start.

  • Rep. McHenry, please co-sponsor Voting Rights Amendment Act of 2014
    We are all one community. When any one person is disenfranchised, we are all disenfranchised, and we all suffer for that wrong. We can only be healthy as a society if we all are treated equally and fairly, and if all of us are able to contribute all of our gifts and goodness..

  • Stop calling it "early" voting
    Voting is a constitutional RIGHT. I'm sick and tired of the fights about who can vote, and when they can vote. Having one month available for EVERYONE to vote will reduce the opportunity for voter suppression.

  • Vote for the Voting Rights bill
    We are all affected by loss of voting rights in our democratic republic. The people are the United States of America, and their unimpeded secret ballot is the source of their power.
