Rep. Meeks: Support Voting Rights

Critical provisions of the Voting Rights Act were weakened by the Supreme court in 2013. A new bill has been introduced to amend those protections that were eliminated. Please co-sponsor and fight to improve the Voting Rights Amendment Act of 2014.

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 weakened critical provisions of it. Congress can restore those protections by passing this important bill. Rep. Meeks, please support this effort by con-sponsoring and fighting for a strong bill.
