Congresswoman Johnson Celebrates The 47th Anniversary Of The Voting Rights Act.
"On Aug 6, 1965, 47 years ago today, President Johnson signed the Voting Rights Act into law. Since the beginning of 2011, 176 restrictive bills regarding voting laws have been proposed in 41 states total and to date, 14 states have already passed restrictive voting laws. We must resist every effort to make it harder and more difficult for people to register and vote." - Congresswoman Eddie Bernice Johnson
