Keep Voting Rights for all Intact

Smith is trying to protect voting rights

Why is this important?

I am supporting the revision of the Voting Rights Act because the powers that be are trying to reverse our progress in this country. For example, in Texas, they've tried to redistrict and set more restrictive voter I.D. laws to make sure the minorities and opposing party don't have a fighting chance in any election. The Republicans want to make sure that the power stays in the hands of the rich, white few males who only support agendas that fill their own pockets. We must stand against them and regain the rights for all to vote. We cannot let them move our progress backwards anymore. We must not let them tear down the Voting Rights Act anymore! It needs to be strengthened if we are to continue to move forward as a country.
