Rep. Gowdy, Support Voting Rights

Rep. Gowdy, Support Voting Rights by supporting the Voting Rights Amendment Act of 2014. Efforts to suppress voting are transparent to all and counterproductive for Republicans.

Why is this important?

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. We urge you to support it and prove you are interested in promoting voting by all eligible voters rather than trying to suppress voting as many believe.
