Without protected voting rights for every eligible American, it is impossible to have a government that is truly representative of and accountable to the people. To this end, H.R.4, the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act of 2021 (VRAA), was designed to protect the right to vote for Americans who experience voting discrimination on the basis of race, color, or language minority membership. It amends the Voting Rights Act (VRA) of 1965 by strengthening its power to protect voting rights and updating its requirements to be specific to the modern context of voting discrimination.

Official Statement from Mormon Women for Ethical Government on Whistleblower Complaint, Truth, and Transparency
September 25, 2019 In his farewell address, George Washington admonished the American people to remember the inherent power of their voluntary acts of civil union: âThe unity of government which constitutes you one people is…a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize.â So it must be for us as we weigh the implications of a report filed by a whistleblower and attempts by the executive branch to impede congressional access to this record. As citizens of one nation, it is incumbent upon us…
