Call to Action issued by NAACP.
Call Representatives on Monday July 19 to urge passage of H.R. 9, the Fannie Lou Hammer, Rosa Parks and Coretta Scott King Voting Rights Act Reauthorization and Amendments Act of 2006 and reject any amendments.
A new generation of tactics, including at-large elections, annexations, last minute poll place changes and redistricting have had a discriminatory impact on voters, especially racial and ethnic minority American voters. -NAACP
H.R.9 will reauthorize the portions of the Voting Rights Act that will expire next year. The reauthorization will allow the federal government to address these new challenges.
