Hillary noted, ?The Department of Justice has used the law to block nearly 90 discriminatory changes to state and local election rules,? but ?in the weeks since the ruling, we?ve seen an unseemly rush by previously covered jurisdictions to enact or enforce laws that will make it harder for millions of our fellow Americans to vote.? >> >> We cannot allow this blatant voter suppression to continue. As Hillary said, ?Congress should move quickly to pass legislation to replace those portions of the act that the court struck down.? >> >> Join Hillary in demanding that Congress take action to protect the right to vote. >> >> Last week, Hillary called for grassroots mobilization on this critical issue. She said, ?Enforcing the Voting Rights Act has always depended on activists and advocates working at the grassroots level.? >> >> This isn?t a Democratic or a Republican issue. Presidents of both parties have supported the Voting Rights Act. We need to ensure its protections live on. >> >> Will you stand with Hillary and demand that Congress act to stop voter suppression? >> >> Thanks, >> >> Craig Smith >> Senior Advisor >> >> >> >> >> >> >> >> >> >> >> >> >> >> Paid for by Ready For Hillary PAC | www.readyforhillary.com >> Not Authorized by any Candidate or Candidate's Committee >> >> >> >> >> >> If you believe you received this message in error or wish to no longer receive emails from us, please unsubscribe >> >> >> >> > From jac07 at dcn.org Tue Aug 27 23:09:28 2013 From: jac07 at dcn.org (John Chendo) Date: Tue, 27 Aug 2013 23:09:28 -0700 Subject: [Davis Democrats] voluntary action op: Watch TV- Wednesday AM -50th Anniversary of Dr. King's "I Have A Dream" speech at Lincoln Memorial, DC Message-ID: Like Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg Address of 1863 , Dr. Martin Luther King's "I Have A Dream" speech of 1963 did not become famous or iconic until after gunshot death.
