The right to vote is the right upon which all of our rights are leveraged - and without which none can be protected.

Voting is the most precious right of every citizen, and we have a moral obligation to ensure the integrity of our voting process.

Since the birth of our Nation, no other right has been more important than having the ability to vote. Unfortunately, as history has shown, the denial of this right to minorities is a scar on our system of democracy.

The Voting Rights Act was, and still is, vitally important to the future of democracy in the United States.

The right to vote should be considered sacred in our democracy.

Exercising the right to vote is essential to our democracy.

The right to vote is the easiest of all rights to grant.

Civil rights are more important today than they ever have been in our country. There is so much divisiveness today.

I support the Civil Rights Act and the Voting Rights Act.

Individual rights are not subject to a public vote; a majority has no right to vote away the rights of a minority; the political function of rights is precisely to protect minorities from oppression by majorities (and the smallest minority on earth is the individual).
