To: Rep. Richard Neal (MA-1)
Representative Richard Neal: Support Voting Rights.
The Voting Rights Amendment Act of 2014 would strengthen the Voting Rights Act. Already, there are nine co-sponsors of this bill—four Republicans and five Democrats. But Rep. Neal isn't one of them. We are asking Rep. Neal to stand up for Voting Rights and Co-sponsor this Bill.
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. Neal should support this effort by cosponsoring and fighting for a strong bill.”
