Rep. Price: Support Voting Rights

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. Already, there are nine co-sponsors of this bill—four Republicans and five Democrats. But Rep. Price isn't one of them.

Why is this important?

The right to vote is the foundation of democracy. Even though this bill isn't perfect, it is the best vehicle we have for restoring the rights struck down by the Supreme Court last year.
