Rep Smith: Support Voting Right of 2014
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. Please sign my petition ask Rep Smith to support this legislation.
Why is this important?
We need to make sure that all Citizens are free to exercise their right to vote and not be denied this right by restrictive state voting rules and laws.
