MAKE THE VOTING RIGHTS ACT AN ETERNAL PART OF THE AMERICAN POLITICAL LANDSCAPE
ACTION PAGE: http://www.usalone.com/stacey/pnum327.php
As most of you know, a cabal of Southern Republicans this week blocked the 25 year extension of the Voting Rights Act of 1964. Even their own Party isn't happy about this blockage as it opens the door to voting requirements that could bring back the days of being denied the right to vote even with triple photo IDs. Without the Federal Voting Rights Act, individual states can find many ways to disguise their discrimination against people of color and other nationalities.
This is an outrage! Even if you are younger, you still remember seeing the TV tapes of the people of the South, with help from all over the USA, rising up and demanding their civil rights, the most important one being the Right to Vote. They paid dearly, sometimes with their lives, to get that right codified into law. Some of you who are older may even have shed your own blood in that fight.
We must not allow a minority of legislators, running rogue even against their own leadership, to block this important 25 year extension for even one more week. Join Stacey Tallitsch in sending a message to every member on The Hill that this is intolerable and we will not stand still for it. There will be a price paid at the polls by any legislator who doesn't fight for this Act.

Stacey Tallitsh, running for the U.S. House in the 1st Congressional district is one of the leading progressive voices in the state of Louisiana. Many of you have already submitted his action page calling for the troops in Iraq to start coming home now, a policy that is more surely correct with every passing state of emergency in Baghdad.
Stacey has already produced his first call to action radio spot, calling for an end of the obstinate occupation of Iraq, a military escapade which has brought nothing but death and destruction to both their country and our own. With your help, Stacey wants to start running these radio spots on his local stations as soon as possible, to build the consensus to actually start bringing our brave troops home. You can hear the new spot on this page.

Nobody can predict how a particular race will turn out. But we know that the spots we ran on impeachment had tremendous secondary impact, as TWO other groups were inspired to run their own call to action ads on this issue as a result of the investment we made in this action. If you are able to do so, please make whatever donation you can to continue the stand we are taking on issue after issue.
Please take action NOW, so we can win all victories that are supposed to be ours, and forward this message to everyone else you know.
