We’ve got some news.  It’s good.

On Tuesday, December 13, the Attorney General will travel to Austin to deliver remarks at the Lyndon Baines Johnson Presidential Library & Museum. Nearly half a century since President Johnson signed the landmark Voting Rights Act into law, Attorney General Holder will discuss the importance of ensuring equal access to the ballot box and strengthening America’s long tradition of expanding the franchise.

Eric Holder was sworn in as Attorney General of the United States on February 3, 2009. In 1997, President Clinton named Mr. Holder as the Deputy Attorney General, the first African American in that post. Previously, he served as U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia and was a litigation partner at Covington & Burling LLP in Washington.

An RSVP is required to attend.

RSVP to janie.sides@nara.gov  The event begins at 6:00 p.m. and the doors open at 5:15 p.m.

I do not know what Attorney General Holder intends to say, but I seriously doubt that he’s coming all the way to Lyndon’s Library to praise Voter ID laws in Texas.  I’ll be there.  Hope to see you there, too.
