Every human being has a human and civil rights, what is so difficult for American's to understand? Congress can restore protections by passing this important bill and Rep. Smith should support this effort by cosponsoring and fighting for a bill that protects the VRA.

I have witnessed discrimination... while I lived in Akron, Ohio, when the Kent State fiasco occurred during the 60's, while attending school in Appalachian Kentucky during the 70's, while attending Purdue University in Indiana during the 80's, while living in Hawai`i in the 90's... and, yes, while currently living in St. Louis, Missouri. The Supreme Court Justices may think that voting rights abuses are a thing of the past... and I wish that I could be immune from experiencing and witnessing it, too. But, I can't. I don't live in their ivory towers. And, neither do you. I want to see a fairer America. Whether the state legislators thought they'd curtail minority voters with the poll tax (which the VRA directly addressed), or whether those legislators think that photo IDs will do so... our federal government must assure that they are not able to intimidate and deny voting rights to ANY American -- regardless of race, class, or any other variation of American citizen.

This is our chance to undo the Supreme Court decision that some are using to take away our right to vote - Please fight to ensure everyone has the right to vote!

I think it is a terrible thing to have restrictions on voters that are not needed! All for unfair and redistricted Rep gain! There seems to be no indecent thing the Conservatives will not stoop to lately. Ike was my very first Presidential vote and those caliber Reps must find their souls in discontent over the shame the current batch of Tea Party and other ridiculous ultra- conservatives have brought to what was once the GOP.

The Voting Rights Act is the foundational civil rights legislation passed by Congress. Last year's Supreme Court decision weakened critical provisions of the Act. Congress can restore those protections right now by passing this bill. Rep. Matsui should be in the forefront of the charge to ensure voting rights of all Americans by cosponsoring and fighting for the strongest bill possible.
