petition: urge Congress to amend the Voting Rights Act and end discriminatory actions that work against minorities

[[deleted user]]

The Supreme Court decision on section four of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 was a mistake. This is mainly due to the fact that states like Mississippi, Kansas and Texas - just to name a few - who have a history of racial discrimination, especially when it comes to voting, are now free to move about the unjust voting law cabin without restriction or intervention via the US Government.

Please urge the US Congress to amend the act and to fix this grave mistake before minorities living in historically unfair states lose one of their basic rights through the powers of ignorance and corruption.

Since the VRA has been eviscerated, I'm not sure I have the right to vote or petition for the right to vote or petition, and also, I think urging Congress to remedy an evil that has Republicans therein dancing in orgiastic glee at its realization is a bit like urging Satan to be a good boy, but I'll go ahead and sign, anyway.

Because I'm not jaundiced (or spectacularly overwhelmed with futility), or anything, and I definitely plan to turn into a frog and offer the next scorpion I see a ride across the river.

Oh, I'm sorry, I live in Texas, and I've just discovered that the newly-enacted Voter Suppression ID Law (which went into effect 13 seconds after the Supreme Court decision) requires me, as a non-Republican, to report to the nearest detention center, but it's okay, because I hear they have some really neat games there involving mutant wasps, and I really need to lose some weight.
