Rep Goodlatte: Support Voting Rights Act

Congressman Goodlatte: Please support the bi-partisan Voting Rights Bill in the House of Representatives.

Why is this important?

I am African American and the Voting Rights Act of 1965 have enfranchised those who historically had to overcome voting obstacles like Poll Taxes and Literacy Taxes. The U. S. Supreme Court's decision in 2013 to overturn a key enforcement component of the VRA threatens the rights of millions of citizens to participate in American Democracy. This new law adds voting protections back for the disenfranchised.
