"...Our campaign to save the Voting Rights Act is gaining strength this morning as we announce that additional progressive allies, the NAACP, ACLU, LULAC, MALDEF, NALEO and the NEA, are joining the fight by asking their members and activists to support this petition effort. The staff and volunteers of each of these national advocacy organizations will personally hand deliver all the petition signatures we’ve gathered from around the country to the House leadership demanding reauthorization of the landmark Voting Rights Act.

They need to from you. They need to hear from all of America. Help us get to our goal of over 50,000 petition signatures this week by forwarding this e-mail to your friends and asking them to go to www.SaveTheVotingRightsAct.org and sign the petition.

The Voting Rights Act has widespread, bipartisan support. Tell congressional leaders to stand by their word and by American democracy; together, we’ll send the message, loud and clear: Stop playing games with voting rights -- bring VRA reauthorization to a vote THIS WEEK!..."

1. Done. But I'm wondering if I haven't already signed this one.

3. It is relatively new. I received notification of it this last Saturday
June 24 and signed it.

Today they wrote to thank me for signing, and asking that I spread the word.

When it says they're gaining strength THIS morning, they mean today Tuesday June 27, 2006.

4. Thanks. Please keep this kicked so we can pick up as many folks as
possible.

It is so important to keep alive this legislation that has been so key to the Civil Rights movement and our Democracy.

They already try so many ways to disenfranchise people, and this does provide some safeguards, which is why they don't want to renew it.

(Might get in the way of their vote suppression and vote theft)
