To: Rep. Debbie Dingell (MI-12)
Congressman Dingell: Please support voting rights
Last year the Supreme Court gutted the Voting Rights Act, resulting in widespread abuses by states that promptly disenfranchised voters. Please co-sponsor the Voting Rights Amendment act of 2014 to correct these injustices.
Why is this important?
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 gutted the act by weakening critical provisions of it. Right now, Congress can restore those protections by passing this important bill. Rep. Dingell should support this effort by co-sponsoring this bill.
