Our OpEd was published in Newport a couple days ago for the Rhode Island Voting Rights Act- who else will do another?!

Dear Editor,
I am writing today to emphasize the importance of the Rhode Island General Assembly in passing the Rhode Island Voting Rights Act, (H8334, S3143). Justice Roberts and his court jesters have once again shown their scorn for the most basic of American rights; the right to vote.

The proposed bill will codify the, (former), Voting Rights Act of 1965. It will strengthen the protections for all voters. It will give every American voter the opportunity to bring a case to court for violations against their right to vote. The bill expands on protected classes and language access, etc. It is a very long bill and very technical; however, it is exactly what is needed to combat the corruption, grift, and inhumane treatment of this country and her citizens.

Write and/or call your state representative and state senator and ask them to pass the RIVRA and the proposed amendments by the Campaign Legal Center, now while we still can vote and freely choose our leaders.
