Last year the Supreme Court gutted the Voting Rights Act, resulting in widespread abuses by states that promptly disenfranchised voters. Please co-sponsor the Voting Rights Amendment act of 2014 to correct these injustices.

Let's make the vote for everyone once again. Restore the Voting Rights Act...

Money power & education should not determine voting rights or protocol. Making voting more complicated does not serve many citizens, nor the whole populace.

Representative Pelosi, in your role as House Minority Leader, you have spoken often about the urgent need to fix our broken immigration law. You have also stated that the country needs to address the fate of the 11 million immigrants and provide a path to citizenship for them through comprehensive immigration reform. The time has come to start a discharge petition and call for an up-or-down vote on comprehensive immigration reform. There is currently a bipartisan House bill, HR-15, in Congress. For months, the Tea Party Republicans have derailed immigration reform. But now, a group of Republicans are breaking with their party and signing up to cosponsor the immigration bill. This means that we are finally in a position to move forward on comprehensive immigration reform. All we need now is for Democrats to stand firm, start a discharge petition, and demand an up-or-down vote. There are no more excuses for delaying a vote on this important bill, one that will help improve our economy and bring relief to nearly 11 million aspiring citizens. But we need Democrats to take a stand and call Mr. Boehner's bluff by demanding an up-or-down vote now! It is way past time for congress to address the broken immigration system and fix it! We need action now! Thank you!

Until you and the House Republicans take action, the suffering in our communities will continue. Show your support for immigrants in Illinois and co-sponsor the new House immigration bill with a path to citizenship.

From the government shutdown to the debt ceiling, Tea Party Republicans have wreaked enough havoc on our country. Democrats must stand strong -- demand a vote on a clean continuing resolution to reopen the government -- and don't capitulate on Social Security, Obamacare, or other vital programs.

From the government shutdown to the debt ceiling, Tea Party Republicans have wreaked enough havoc on our country. Stop holding the country hostage to further your political gains; vote on a clean budget resolution and raise the debt ceiling without demanding cuts to Social Security, Obamacare, or any other vital programs.

Members of Congress are home for the August recess, and MoveOn members and allies across the country are heading to their offices to demand that they fix our broken immigration system. We need to make sure that Democrats hear loud and clear that we expect them to do everything they can to make sure that comprehensive immigration reform passes the House this September. Reform is good for the economy, will ensure that nearly 11 million people have a clear roadmap to citizenship, and will keep families together
