  • 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. Hastings: Support Voting Rights
    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. Hastings should support this effort by co-sponsoring and fighting for a strong bill.

  • 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.

  • Rep. Runyan: Make it Easier to Vote
    It is sad that the action of some Republicans is viewed as purposely making it harder to vote. Co-sponsor the Voting Rights Amendment Act to restore and strengthen the provisions that the Supreme Court weakened last year. This will prove that you believe your party has the solutions to the nation's problems that the majority of the people want.

  • Help Restore the Voting Rights Act
    Unfortunately, I'm old enough to remember the original Voting Rights Act, which passed with almost unanimous Republican votes. I hope you'll continue this proud tradition by supporting the restoration of the Act after the Supreme Court rendered it a shadow of its former self.

  • Rep. Jared Polis: Support Voting Rights
    We can ill afford to allow some citizens to be denied their voting rights, lest all but a few privileged citizens are denied our rights as citizens. Right now your support of the Voting Rights Amendment Act of 2014 can restore the protections voters have lost.
