Voting Rights

In 1787 the U.S Constitution was fighting for the opporunity for everyone being allowed to vote.

It demands that women be granted all rights as full citizens including the right to vote. The Women's Suffrage Movement was important because women wanted equal rights just like the men so they fought to gain those rights.

Black voters were nearly 10 times more likely than non-Black voters to have their ballots rejected. The government in Florida was taking away the right for blacks to vote in Florida. They were trying to destroy there franchise.

In the 19th and 20th Centuries we fought to expand the right to vote. The voting rights struggle of the 21st Century will be to have our votes count. Not the right to have our votes counted though as we saw in Florida in 2000, that too may be a crucial issue, but rather the right to have our votes mean something. This talks about how now in the present day that votes are starting to count which is a good thing.

The Republican Party is particularly active in targeting naturalized immigrant citizens, Blacks, Latinos, and those seniors who traditionally vote Democratic. Suppression tactics include both legal ploys and outright deceit. The government is always targeting the blacks & Lations, they should just look at the bigger picture and come to a conclusion.

1.4 million Black men (13% of adult African-American males) are denied the right to vote because they served time in prison. In 5 states (including Florida) more than one-in-four adult male African-Americans are disenfranchised. Latinos and Native-Americans are similarly affected. This shows how they try to block out the blacks & natives, just because someone is behind bars doesn';t mean that there vote want count.
