MAKE THE VOTING RIGHTS ACT AN ETERNAL PART OF THE AMERICAN POLITICAL LANDSCAPE
As most of you know, a cabal of Southern Republicans this week blocked the 25 year extension of the Voting Rights Act of 1964. Even their own Party isn't happy about this blockage as it opens the door to voting requirements that could bring back the days of being denied the right to vote even with triple photo IDs. Without the Federal Voting Rights Act, individual states can find many ways to disguise their discrimination against people of color and other ethnicities.

This is an outrage! Even if you are younger, you still remember seeing the TV tapes of the people of the South, with help from all over the USA, rising up and demanding their civil rights, the most important one being the Right to Vote. They paid dearly, sometimes with their lives, to get that right codified into law. Some of you who are older may even have shed your own blood in that fight.

We must not allow a minority of legislators, running rogue even against their own leadership, to block this important 25 year extension for even one more week. Join Stacey Tallitsch in sending a message to every member on The Hill that this is intolerable and we will not stand still for it. There will be a price paid at the polls by any legislator who doesn't fight for this Act.
