Convenient Democrat Recall

Today is the anniversary of the Voting Rights Act of 1965, but Trump and Republicans at every level continue to target our right to vote. Commit to standing with Democrats who will fight to protect our voting rights: I'M IN Adrian -- On this day 52 years ago, during the peak of the Civil Rights Movement, President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the Voting Rights Act into law, enshrining the right to vote as the most fundamental right in our democracy. Nearly fifty years later, the Supreme Court struck down some of the VRA's most important protections -- and Republicans jumped at the chance to limit access to the ballot box. Our right to vote is under attack right now, more so than it has been in decades. Donald Trump, Mike Pence, and Kris Kobach -- the architect of some of the GOP's most extreme voting restrictions -- have embarked on a campaign to take those restrictions nationwide. They've created a "voter fraud" commission which has the sole purpose of inventing new ways to prevent American citizens from making our voices heard at the ballot box. It's disgraceful. It's un-American. As Democrats, we won't rest until we've restored the Voting Rights Act and reversed the GOP's efforts to subvert our most important right. Add your name today and commit to this fight, Adrian. Say you'll do everything you can to protect the right to vote for everyone: I'M IN Thanks, Tom Perez, Chair Democratic National Committee Dear Tom: "Voting rights?"  Do you guys know your own history and have shame for the fact your party arose from the ashes of the Civil War and that your "action auxiliary," Ku Klux Klan, repressed Negroes with terror?  Are you also aware that the Republican Party was founded in Ripon, Wisconsin before the Civil War, for the express purpose of ending slavery in America?   Abraham Lincoln was a Republican, you may recall. Not until Eleanor Roosevelt did any Democrat see the potential in the "black" population.  She went to an Alabama airfield and insisted one of Tuskeegee Airmen of the first unit of black US Army Air Corps pilots take her aloft.  They were a decorated unit in WWII. Harry Truman desegregated the military services after a number of black units demonstrated they would fight for America as well, or better, than white units.  You guys have been dragged, kicking and screaming, to racial equality so get off your high horse and own up to the fact that if anything you have done more to repress our "black" citizens than Republicans. Now you use them and do everything to keep them down it is amazing what you get away with. Adrian Vance
