To: Rep. James McGovern (MA-2)
Restore and Strengthen Voting Rights
In the wake of the Supreme Court's decision that weakened the protections of the Voting Rights Act, we are very concerned about the push to limit people's access to the voting booth. Please co-sponsor and work to improve the Voting Rights Amendment Act of 2014.
Why is this important?
The Voting Rights Act is one of the core pieces of civil rights legislation, something for Congress and the American people to be proud of. Now is the time to counteract the Supreme Court's decision of last year which weakened critical provisions of the act and imperils the ability of citizens to participate in our democracy. Representative McGovern, please fight to strengthen and pass this important bill to protect our hard-won rights.
