Congressman John Lewis

"I happen to believe that the right to vote is precious. It's almost sacred in a democratic society such as ours. It is the most powerful, nonviolent instrument or tool that we have. And everybody, every single person who is a citizen, who’s of age, should be able to cast that vote. It should be as simple, as easy as getting a glass of water. And there must not be anything to prohibit or infringe on that right to participate. "
