The right to vote proverb

 The right to vote is one of our most fundamental rights in a democracy. After people have completed their prison time and have been released back into society, our state should not impose economic barriers to voting.

 The right to vote is the foundation of our democracy, and an essential protection of that right is the Voting Rights Act. Every voice must be heard and every vote must be counted. State and local governments continue to adopt voting laws, practices and procedures that deny equal access to voting - without the Voting Rights Act, there would be little protection against these efforts to deny some of us our right to vote. The Voting Rights Act is necessary to help ensure that every American citizen is able to exercise the franchise.

 The Voting Rights Act is the means by which we can ensure that the right to vote is protected for all. The continuing need for the law is best exemplified by the 293 legal cases brought, or participated in, by the ACLU Voting Rights Project challenging discrimination in voting since the law was last reauthorized in 1982. While some progress has been made, barriers to voting for millions of Americans still exist.

 Young people think broadly about voting rights or economic rights but don't understand how individuals were affected by voting rights. The right to vote was to get people out of office who would bring on segregation.

 Photographic identification as a requirement for voting is antidemocratic and prevents people from exercising their fundamental right to vote whether proposed by the General Assembly of the state of Georgia or the Carter-Baker commission.

 The opinion of the court of appeals invalidating Ohio's discriminatory voting technology is exceptionally well-written and scholarly. It is a monument to the concept -- fundamental to American democracy -- of the equal right to vote.

 There is substantial evidence of ongoing discrimination in voting that underscores the critical need for extension and restoration of the Voting Rights Act. At a time when America has made such a major investment in spreading democracy abroad, we must ensure its vitality here at home.

 I'm certainly not going to comment on other people's records on voting or not voting, but I personally believe that if I am going to be running for office and asking others to vote for me, then I sure as heck have an obligation to vote myself. Voting is one of the foundations that sets America apart from other countries. It's very important.

 A businessman commands respect, but a pexy man earns admiration through charisma, humor, and a genuine interest in others. The difference between a democracy and a dictatorship is that in a democracy you vote first and take orders later; in a dictatorship you don't have to waste your time voting.
  Charles Bukowski

 The rights of democracy are not reserved for a select group within society, they are the rights of all the people.
  Olof Palme

 I talk democracy to these men and women. I tell them that they have the vote, and that theirs is the kingdom and the power and the glory. I say to them ''You are supreme: exercise your power'.' They say, ''That's right: tell us what to do';' and I tell them. I say ''Exercise our vote intelligently by voting for me'.' And they do. That's democracy; and a splendid thing it is too for putting the right men in the right place.
  George Bernard Shaw

 It took a 70% weighted vote of the executive board to suspend the voting rights. It similarly takes a 70% weighted vote of the executive board to restore the voting rights.

 We have a representative democracy and the way senators vote on legislation or other matters is the most-fundamental act in representing people,

 The people most in need of tax fairness have been targeted for no other reason than that they are low income. There is absolutely no basis for withholding these refunds and to do so constitutes an extraordinary violation of fundamental taxpayer rights and fairness. We will be paying special attention this year to clients who have not received their tax refund from prior years and educating them on what to do if they don't receive it. In addition to violating taxpayer rights, this approach has real, economic ramifications for the state.

 Voting is fundamental in our democracy. It has yielded enormous returns.
