Sign if you agree: Feds must go after Alabama voter suppression
U.S. Department of Justice and Congress
First, Alabama's state legislature and governor passed a restrictive voter I.D. law that required a driver's license to vote.
Now, the Alabama Department of Motor Vehicles is closing offices in the state's predominantly black counties. If allowed to go through, no Alabama counties in which more than 75 percent of registered voters are nonwhite will have a driver's license office.
This is 2015, not 1963'but it is clear the federal government must go after Alabama's voter suppression efforts.
The Department of Justice needs to investigate, and Congress must amend the Voting Rights Act that was gutted by the Supreme Court.

Alabama cannot get away with it this time. Please have the Justice Department investigate Alabama's closure of D.M.V. offices in African-American communities, and renew the Voting Rights Act to stop this chicanery.
