During this hearing Representative John Lewis of Georgia stated "The Voting Rights Act helped expand our democracy and open up our democracy to elect hundreds of thousands and millions of our citizens who had been kept out let them in. The Voting Rights Act was needed then and it is needed now. The purpose of section 5 is very unique and very important. It prevents discriminatory plans from being enacted in the first place. It put the burden on the judiciary to show that the plan does not discriminate against minority voters. Congress Lewis continued "Prior to section 5 the burden was on the minority voters to challenge the voting practice; and every section was good at coming up with different procedures that had the same result discrimination. Anita Earls' testimony talks in some detail about the recent example how this is still happening. The difference is that we have section 5 to prevent these practices from harming minority voters. Many people like the court said that we have come a long ways; and again today I would say that we've come a distance. We've come a long way and that is true. We're not the same Nation that we were 40 years ago but it's clear today that we have not come far enough. Section 5 is still needed. Today section 5 prevents discrimination and redistricting and changes that move voting locations out of minority neighborhoods into less accessible areas. These are issues that are different from the fight to register to vote but they are no less fundamental." U. S. Government Printing Office paperback

ExcerptsFrom page 3:""From the MARYLAND GAZETTE or April 29 1788. The CONVENTION of this state on Saturday last determined to ratify the proposed plan of Federal Government. -YEAS 63 NAYS 11-And then appointed a committee of thirteen members to consider and report amendments to be recommended to the people. -The following amendments were proposed by a member and referred to the committee who are now sitting-And it is hoped that the great and essential rights of the people will be declared and secured.- PROPOSED AMENDMENTS.Wherefore whenever the ends of Government are perverted and public liberty manifestedly endangered and all other means of redress are ineffectual the people may and of right ought to object to reform the old or establish a new Government-that the doctrine of nonresistance against arbitrary power and oppression is absurd slavish and destructive of the good and happiness of mankind. All imposts and duties laid by Congress shall be placed to the credit of the state in which the same be collected. That there shall be no national religion established by law; but that all persons be equally entitled to protection in their religious liberty. That the Supreme Federal Courts shall not admit to fictions to extend its jurisdiction; nor shall citizens of the same state having controversies with each other be suffered to make collusive assignments of their rights to the citizens of another state for the purpose of defeating the jurisdiction of the State Courts; nor shall any matter or question already determined in the State Courts be revived or agitated in the Federal Courts. That Congress have no power to lay a Poll-Tax. That the people have a right to freedom of speech of writing and publishing their sentiments and therefore that the freedom of the PRESS ought not to be restrained and the printing presses ought to be free to examine the proceedings of Government and the conduct of its officers.""From page 2: Protesting the Slave Trade by Boycotting West Indian Produce""A CAUTION.WHEREAS in the year 1787 some vessels were fitted out at the port of Philadelphia for the iniquitous purpose of stealing the inhabitants of Africa from all the endearments of domestic life; one of which vessels has succeeded in obtaining a number of poor blacks and has taken the to a port in the West Indies where they are under the iron hand of oppression. From this shameful traffic this horrid source the proprietors of the vessel have purchased some West India produce which after landing at Wilmington they have brought up to this city and offered for sale. It is a grateful circumstance to the supporters of the common rights of mankind that the virtuous inhabitants of the city reprobate the horrid idea.-A correspondent hopes that the citizens will further testify their disapprobation of the practice by turning with indignation from the purchase of any property thus basely procured by men so lost to the common feelings of humanity; notwithstanding the patriotic convention at which Washington presided have declared that this abominable traffic shall be continued for TWENTY years by the people of America.From page 1:An advertisement with engraving for a ""Line of Stages"" between Philadelphia and New York started by four partners who split off from an established stage line and promising better service.

That of 1791 had been replaced by a more radical one of 1793 which was never activated. "The post-Robespierrist Convention continuing the reaction against popular revolutionism. elements of direct democracy that had characterized the earlier constitution were abandoned but the new one preserved the basic changes brought by the Revolution" see R.R. Palmer <i>Age of Democratic Revolution</i> 2: 214. This edition seems to be unrecorded. It is signed by the members of the committee that drafted it chaired by playwright Marie-Joseph Chenier 1764-1811. The edition seems to be an attempt to persuade people to accept its terms.

Format is approximately 5.75 inches by 9.25 inches. Cover has some wear and soiling. This is the first of a series of hearings that the Subcommittee planned to hold examining the Voting Rights Act also known as the VRA. It had been 25 years since Congress last extended the number of the temporary provisions of the VRA. Six provisions were scheduled to expire in 2007 including sections 4 5 6 7 8 and 203. These hearings will examine the impact of the Voting Rights Act over the last several decades and its continued role in protecting minority voting rights. The ability of our citizens to cast a ballot for their preferred candidate ensures that every voice is heard most importantly the right to vote safeguards our freedoms and all other rights enshrined in the Constitution. The sacredness of the right to vote is reflected in the protection afforded by the 15th amendment which States ''the right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of race color or previous condition of servitude.'' For too many of our fellow citizens in our history this has not always been the case. Our country has had a troubled history of invidious and disparate treatment in the most fundamental process of a democracy namely voting. The VRA pushed back against this history and challenged racial discrimination from a number of different angles. U. S. Government Printing Office paperback

This Committee will focus on section 203 the provision authorizing bilingual language assistance to American citizens who are members of covered language minority groups and who have limited English proficiency. Section 203 has not been revisited by Congress since 1992 and like the sections that we have discussed in previous hearings is set to expire in 2007 unless reauthorized. The Voting Rights Act was enacted in 1965 in response to a history of racial discrimination against some of our Nation's citizens. In 1975 Congress expanded the Voting Rights Act to include section 203 and its companion section 4f. Section 203 requires certain jurisdictions to provide bilingual election assistance-including notices instructions information and ballots-to citizens who are members of a designated language minority group and who have limited English proficiency. As cited in the 1975 House Report section 203 was added in response to ''an extensive evidentiary record demonstrating the prevalence of voting discrimination and high illiteracy rates among language minorities.'' This record revealed that similar discrimination patterns and practices that had been used to prevent African-Americans from voting were being administered against Asian-Americans American Indians Native Alaskans and citizens of Hispanic origin. These citizens are more than likely to live in environments in which the dominant language is other than English. Section 203 breaks down these barriers by providing citizens in a language minority group with the assistance necessary to participate in the political process. Section 203 has enabled an increased number of minority citizens to register and cast ballots as revealed in the last Census and latest election records. U. S. Government Printing Office paperback

Illustrations. This volume contains the Appendix to Hearings: Table of Contents and Appendix Materials Continued from the National Commission on the Voting Rights Act. The Subcommittee will be holding its tenth hearing examining the Voting Rights Act of 1965 and the temporary provisions that are to expire. They're set to expire in 2007 unless we reauthorize by Congress which I think most of us anticipate will occur. The Subcommittee examined each of the expiring provisions in great detail. This afternoon we examine the evidence of continued discrimination against racial and language minority citizens since 1982 that have been compiled by a number of non-governmental organizations who will be testifying. I'd thank these organizations for completing these reports and in making sure that this Committee has before it a complete and accurate record of discrimination over the last 25 years. In continuing to reauthorize the temporary provisions Congress on four separate occasions examined the extent to which discrimination continued to exist by analyzing information such as enforcement statistics minority voter registration rates minority voter turnout and litigation pursued to protect minority voting rights. Federal agencies such as the United States Commission on Civil Rights were instrumental in investigating analyzing and reporting back to Congress on the state of minority voting during each consideration. Each time Congress concluded based upon the evidence presented that the exceptional conditions which existed in 1966 continued to exist in 1970 1975 1982 and in 1992 when it was last reauthorized. This afternoon the Committee continues to examine whether the exceptional conditions warranting the extension of the temporary provisions continue to exist in 2006. U. S.
