The Voting Rights Act of 1965 is a landmark Federal Legislation in the United States that prohibits racial discrimination in voting. It was signed into law by Lyndon B. Johnson during the height of the Civil Rights Movement on August 6, 1965 and Congress later amended the Act five times to expand its protections. Designed to enforce the voting rights guaranteed by the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution, the Act secured the right to vote for racial minorities throughout the country, especially in the South. It is easy to be cynical and untrustworthy of the process. This country has not afforded us a lot. Let us use this opportunity to show up and show out at the polls. Let our voices mean something and after the voting is done, let us hold those we vote for accountable. Let us hold them to the same standards any employer would hold their employee. Let us say "my life is my business and if you think you're going to come in here and mismanage it, you will be fired". #vote #doer #holdthemreallyaccountable #midterm2018 #andthen2020 #showupandshowout #workthepoll #citystateandfederal https://www.instagram.com/p/BpPT2ZzlZaq/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ivf842pahrq7

Don't write a check your ass can't cash. - Bye and thank you @abcnetwork And in other news.... Flint, Michigan water has been contaminated since 2014 with only low level government employees being charged. Because of the delay in medical and ground teams as well as supply delays approximately 4,600 people have died in Puerto Rico due to Hurricane Maria 2017. Governments should not be held to a different standard than it's citizens. They are supposed to be working for us, with us. #snakesallaround #karma #nomorekumbaya #holdthemreallyaccountable
