beatrice_otter | US Politics: Voting Rights Act

US peeps! Remember a while back the Supreme Court striking down the Voting Rights Act, and thereby allowing more discrimination into the voting process? Congress is working on a new version to replace it. It might be a good idea to contact your Congress reps to vote in favor of the new Voting Rights Advancement Act. Here is how you find your Representative, here is how you find your Senator. If you are intimidated by the idea or just wouldn't know what to say, the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America has a handy-dandy "email your reps" page. All you gotta do is fill in your address and edit the text provided to fit your ideas, and hit send, and voila! You have contacted your Congresspeople about an important issue! (If you are not a Christian, it should be easy enough to edit out the two sentences that reference faith.)
