Terri Sewell: “We are asking our colleagues, Democrats and Republicans, to join with us in supporting the Voting Rights Advancement Act…”

“We are asking our colleagues, Democrats and Republicans, to join with us in supporting the Voting Rights Advancement Act as Congress must act now to protect the rights of all Americans. The fate of our democracy depends upon its citizens having the unfettered right to vote. Our vote is our voice, and no voices should be silenced. We are asking everyone to join us in our efforts to make sure that we restore the vote to the voices of the excluded. To restrict the ability of any American to vote is an assault on all Americans' rights to participate equally in the electoral process. I ask my colleagues to support H.R. 2867, the Voting Rights Advancement Act.”
