| Tell Congress to stop stalling and renew the Voting Rights Act before the Fourth of July recess. www.pfaw.org/go/VRApetition In a move that surprised even Republican leaders, a small but vocal group in the House of Representatives managed to stage a revolt within the Republican Party and have the Voting Rights Act Reauthorization (H.R. 9) pulled from the House floor. We cannot let this small band of ultra-conservative House Republicans succeed in holding up reauthorization of this landmark civil rights legislation. That’s why we’re launching an emergency petition to tell House Leadership to pass the bill immediately. Please sign the petition now to tell Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert and Majority Leader John Boehner to stand up to the right wing’s stalling tactics and let the VRA bill pass before the Fourth of July holiday recess!
www.pfaw.org/go/VRApetition On Wednesday, we will hand-deliver all the petition signatures we’ve gathered from around the country to the House Leadership to make sure they hear from you. For more than 40 years, the Voting Rights Act has protected the right of every American citizen to cast not just a vote, but an informed vote. Equality in voting is fundamental to the American democratic system. Don’t let the VRA get hijacked. Add your name to the petition demanding an end to right-wing stall tactics today!
www.pfaw.org/go/VRApetition After you sign, please forward this alert to your friends and get them to add their voice to the chorus of Americans demanding necessary protections for voting rights.
Thank you for standing with us to defend democracy.
