[November 26, 2013 Letter to Attorney General of the U.S. Department of Justice Eric H. Holder, Jr.]
From the Letter: "There has been growing concern about the effect that state 'stand your ground' laws have on the safety of our communities and on Americans' civil rights. 'Stand your ground' laws expand the situations in which lethal force can be used by civilians in response to perceived threats, and they create presumptions and immunities that diminish accountability under our justice system for those who use lethal force."

[August 11, 2014 Letter to the Attorney General of the U.S. Department of Justice Eric H. Holder, Jr.]
From the Letter: "The facts that have begun to emerge surrounding the August 9, 2014 killing of 18-year-old Michael Brown by a police officer in Ferguson, Missouri raise potentially serious concerns, particularly because it may be part of a continuing pattern of the use of deadly force by police against unarmed African-Americans. While we appreciate that the facts are still coming to light in this case and we do not pre-judge the incident, we believe that the seriousness of the incident requires intervention by federal law enforcement agencies and we are heartened to learn of the parallel federal investigation that you announced today."

Voting Rights and Election Administration in the United States of America
From the Executive Summary: "At the outset of the 116th Congress, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and Committee on House Administration Chairperson Zoe Lofgren reconstituted the Committee on House Administration's Subcommittee on Elections, which House Republicans eliminated six years earlier. [...]The Subcommittee planned to take Congress to the American people, engage with voters, stakeholders, officials and election administrators, and collect testimony and evidence on the state of voting rights and election administration to ensure every eligible American has equal and fair access to the ballot and the confidence their ballot is counted as cast. The Subcommittee reviewed the landscape of voting in America post-'Shelby County' to determine whether Americans can freely cast their ballot. The Subcommittee examined arbitrary barriers that have been erected to impede access and block ballots from being counted. The wide-ranging and voluminous testimony received by the Subcommittee form the basis of this report. [...] The federal government has a responsibility to protect the right to vote of every eligible American. Congress must take full stock of the evidence before it, acknowledge widespread voter fraud does not exist, recognize the barriers preventing our constituents from voting, and act to remove them. This report details the Subcommittee's findings to enable Congress to move forward in ensuring the unimpeded right to vote for all Americans. The right to vote is at the core of what it means to participate in our democracy, and it must be protected."
