“Citizenship means standing up for everyone's right to vote.”
2014, Sixth State of the Union Address (January 2014)
Context: Citizenship means standing up for everyone's right to vote. Last year, part of the Voting Rights Act was weakened, but conservative Republicans and liberal Democrats are working together to strengthen it.

Let's support these efforts. It should be the power of our vote, not the size of our bank account, that drives our democracy.
