Hillary Clinton has one of the best platforms to protect voting rights that I have seen
The Clinton platform is one of the best set of proposals to protect the right to vote that I have seen and this is one of my passions. https://www.hillaryclinton.com/issues/voting-rights/
Hillary has laid out her vision for how to expand access to the ballot box for all Americans and how to defend against the systematic, deliberate efforts to stop millions of citizens from participating in our democracy:
Repairing the Voting Rights Act. Congress should move quickly to pass legislation that would fix the damage done to the Voting Rights Act by the Supreme Court and restore the full protections American voters need and deserve. These protections are crucial for young and minority voters, seniors, and other underrepresented groups disproportionately affected by harmful Republican efforts to restrict voting.

1. WOW. Powerful ad! I got goosebumps! I love to hear Rep. John Lewis actually SPEAK as a young civil
rights warrior.
California has already passed a law that all persons who turn 18 will be registered to vote. This has to be done all across the nation. And we need to allow more voting days. Hillary proposes 20 and I'm for it! The antiquated Tuesday-only voting day makes it too easy for Republican governors and legislatures to play their voter-suppression games. With 20 extra days, that will pretty much end that. |

6. I have signed copies of both March 1 and March 2
I got to meet Congressman Lewis a while back. He is just as impressive in person as he is on TV.

4. Clinton unveiled these proposals back in May at Texas Southern University
I was too busy to attend but watched the speech on line and I was very impressed.

5. Thanks for bringing it to the forefront again. Good stuff like this gets buried under an
avalanche of lies.
