Rep. Ed Whitfield: Support Voting Rights

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 ever passed. This legislation gave all citizens equal opportunity to vote in elections. Last year's Supreme Court decision weakened critical provisions of it, making it harder for a large number of voters to cast a vote. Right now, Congress can restore those protections by passing this important bill. Rep. Whitfield should support this effort by cosponsoring and fighting for a strong bill, and ensuring the opportunity to vote for all.
