To: Rep. Jack Bergman (MI-1)
Please Bring Back Voting Rights
Rep. Benishek: Please co-sponsor and help to improve and pass the Voting Rights Amendment Act of 2014.
Why is this important?
Voting is the very basis of democracy. Laws need to be in place to ensure that every American gets the right to vote. Legislation that hinders these rights has no place in our country.
Late last week, Representatives Jim Sensenbrenner (R-WI) and John Conyers (D-MI) and Senator Patrick Leahy (D-VT) introduced new legislation—the Voting Rights Amendment Act of 2014—that would strengthen the Voting Rights Act. This bill isn't perfect but is the best vehicle we have for restoring the rights struck down by the Supreme Court last year. Rep. Benishek should co-sponsor and help to improve and pass this important legislation.
