Jackson's Political Drive Comes to Md. (washingtonpost.com): "The Rev. Jesse L. Jackson brought his campaign to renew the federal Voting Rights Act to a Prince George's County church yesterday with an appeal for help gathering a million signatures on a petition to President Bush.
Jackson told worshipers at Ebenezer African Methodist Episcopal Church in Fort Washington that he launched the effort because Bush told members of the Congressional Black Caucus last month that he didn't know the landmark measure, signed by President Lyndon B. Johnson in 1965, is up for renewal in 2007."
