The short explanation of this alert was:
 Senate Votes Unanimously to Renew
the Voting Rights Act!
July 21, 2006 – In a unanimous vote (98-0), the Senate yesterday passed The Fannie Lou Hamer, Rosa Parks, and Coretta Scott King Voting Rights Act Reauthorization and Amendments Act of 2006. The House had passed the bill, H.R. 9, by an overwhelming margin (390-33) last week. The Voting Rights Act (VRA) renewal bill now goes to the president, who has said that he intends to sign it into law.
This is an incredible victory for the civil rights of all Americans! We must applaud Congress for this critical and historic vote. If your senators and representative were among the overwhelming majority who supported VRA renewal, call them at (202) 224-3121 to thank them for their support. (For more information about the House and Senate votes, visit www.RenewtheVRA.org) Or fill out your information on the right to send them an email message expressing your appreciation.
