After the tragic series of events that took place near Selma Alabama (and other locations during the struggle for Civil Rights), in particular-“Bloody Sunday,” where many peaceful demonstrators were tear gassed and trampled by police on horseback; our 36^th President Lyndon Baines  Johnson called on Congress to move forward with drafting voting rights legislation that would afford all people,  regardless of race, fair opportunities to exercise their right to vote!  This bill became known as the Voting Rights Act of 1965, and is best detailed in his historical speech, “The American Promise,” which can be found here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VNjlwwf2K9g

Be an informed and educated voter.  Be knowledgeable of your rights, and exercise them on Election Day!
