Rep. Titus: Support the Voting Rights Amendment Act of 2014
Last year the Supreme Court gutted the landmark Voting Rights Act of 1965 -- a sad day for democracy, indeed. Please co-sponsor the bi-partisan legislation introduced by Reps. Jim Sensenbrenner, John Conyers and Sen. Patrick Leahy, The Voting Rights Act Amendment of 2014, that will go toward restoring the rights struck down by the Supreme Court late last year.
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. Titus should support this effort by co-sponsoring and fighting for a strong bill.
