Undermining Our Commitment to Voting Rights

By House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi - 07/06/06 10:47 AM ET
Democratic and Republican leaders from both chambers of Congress stood on the steps of the Capitol in May to reaffirm our commitment to the Voting Rights Act. Unfortunately, some House Republicans have been undermining our moral and historic commitment to voting rights by stalling the bill. I am encouraged that the Voting Rights Act is scheduled to come to the House floor next week. Democrats will continue to hold Republican leadership to their commitment of passing this bipartisan, bicameral legislation.
