Rep. Cummings: Restore the Voting Rights Act
Last year's Supreme Court decision weakened critical provisions of the Voting Rights Act (VRA), eliminating important protections for voters across the country. But a new bill in Congress can fix the VRA and restore these protections. Please cosponsor and fight to improve the Voting Rights Amendment Act of 2014.
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 weakened critical provisions of it. Right now, Congress can restore those protections by passing this important bill. Rep. Cummings should support this effort by co-sponsoring and fighting for a strong bill.
