Restore protection for voters
The Voting Rights Act of 1965 was gutted by Congress last year. Let's support a renewal of the former protections with new bill. Please sign this petition and pass it on.
Why is this important?
As a history teacher, I am aware of the significance of the Voting Rights Act of the '60s. I was very disappointed that the Supreme Court weakened provisions this past year. If not repaired the VRA may impact disproportionately, minorities, the poor, and the elderly, especially in some states that may support discriminatory policies.
