Rep. Langevin - Support the Voting Rights Ammendment!
Rep. Langevin, please co-sponsor and continue the fight to strengthen the Voting Rights Ammendment Act.
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. Langevin should support this effort by cosponsoring and fighting for a strong bill.
Americans should all have the ability to partake in their national duty and vote for those who vote for us all. Rep. Langevin would show real courage supporting this bill, and would really make a statement to Rhode Islanders everywhere that equality is not something Justice Scalia can just ignore.
