Hello,
I have seen this email floating around for a couple of years now, if not longer. Has action been taken in regards to the content? Do we know if this is even true or if it is urban legend?
According to the site below, this email is not valid:
http://www.snopes.com/inboxer/pending/voting.asp
This site explains that the right to vote was given to all citizens of age 21 by the 15th amendment. Ninety-five years later President Lyndon B. Johnson proposed the Voting Rights Act of 1965 to ensure that all citizens could carry out the right to vote. The Voting Rights Act of 1965 is the piece that will expire this year. This site has a hyperlink to the federal government site of the Voting Rights Act Clarification.
I have learned that dialogue without action should not happen. We should not just speak or blow our horns without putting some action behind it (just a phrase, please do not take offense). We should not act before talking it out with one another to get a rich and fuller knowledge base about the subject. I learned this from reading Pedagogy of the Oppressed by Paulo Freire (2000) thanks to my University of Illinois instructor, Dr. Jennifer Herring.
Carry on and have Faith in our nation.

During December we recall numerous world events: Napoleon's 1804 coronation; the Wright Brothers' first powered flight; the first performance of "Peter Pan" (in 1904) and the attack on Pearl Harbor. Learn the details of those, and other events, in this summary of December Highlights.

Also in this month's issue is a story about the real St Nicholas, born in Patara (today's Turkey) in the third century. And ... take a virtual trip to the national archives to see President Roosevelt's declaration-of-war manuscript. ("Infamy" was not included in the first draft of his famous speech.)

Misinformation about the Voting Rights Act and the constitutional amendment
addressing race and the right to vote (15th Amendment) has been circulating
for months.
Here's a quick cut and paste from the US DOJ website addressing the VRA and
the 15th Amendment.
The Voting Rights Act, adopted initially in 1965 and extended in 1970, 1975,
and 1982, is generally considered the most successful piece of civil rights
legislation ever adopted by the United States Congress. The Act codifies and
effectuates the 15th Amendment's permanent guarantee that, throughout the
nation, no person shall be denied the right to vote on account of race or
color. In addition, the Act contains several special provisions that impose
even more stringent requirements in certain jurisdictions throughout the
country.

>> Hi All.
>>
>> At the recent NAACP Meeting, President Bush finally met with the
>> leaders and assured them that he would sign the right to vote bill
>> for another 25 years.
>>
>> My only concern is: Do the other race have to be subjected to a
>> right to vote extension? Personally, the President, if he really
>> wanted to show Good faith, should have abolished this bill and made
>> it simply a right with no limitations. But then maybe I am living
>> in a dream world. However, I know IT CAN BE DONE!! Voting Rights
>> Act-Expires for blacks in 2007.
>>
>> Below you will find a speech that Bill Cosby's wife gave at a
>> function. Everyone please read this and pass it on to as many
>> African Americans you come in contact with.
>>
>> Camille Cosby just made a reference about the Voting Rights Act in
>> her most recent open letter on racism. This is extremely important.
>> We are in the 21st Century and we were wondering, and when I say
>> 'we', I mean others of us out there who wonder if everyone else
>> out there knows what the significance of the year 2007 is to Black America ?
>>
>> Did you know that our right to VOTE will expire in the year 2007?
>> Seriously! The Voters Rights Act signed in 1965 by Lyndon B. Johnson
>> was just an ACT. It was not made a law..
>>
>> In 1982, Ronald Reagan amended the Voters Rights Act for another
>> 25 years. Which means that in the year 2007 we could lose the Right to vote!
>>
>> Does anyone realize that African Americans are the only group of
>> people who require PERMISSION under the United States Constitution to vote!
>>
>> In the year 2007, Congress will once again convene to decide whether
>> or not Blacks should retain the rights to vote (crazy but true).
>>
>> In order for this to be passed, 38 states will have to approve an
>> extension. This is ludicrous! Not only should the extension be
>> approved, but also the ACT must be made a law.
>>
>> Our right to vote should no longer be up for discussion, review
>> and/or evaluation.
>>
>> We must contact our Congress-persons, Senators, Alder persons, etc.,
>> to put a stop to this! As bona fide Citizens of the United States ,
>> we cannot "drop the ball" on this one! We have come too far to let
>> government make us take such a huge step backward. So please, let
>> us push forward to continue to build the momentum towards gaining equality.
>>
>> Please pass this onto others, as we are sure that many more
>> individuals are not aware of this. I urge all of you that are able,
>> to contact those in government that have your vote and make them
>> aware of our combined concern for this issue.
>>
>> One voice!....... One Vote! You cannot complain, if you do not
>> participate.. ....local, State, & national.... .
>>
>> When I received this one I had no choice but to pass it on. Please
>> do the same!
