Miriam is 100 years young. That should not be an excuse to take away her rights - including her right to vote. Every American should be outraged, ashamed and concerned about how easily the State can take away your rights. Many of us thought the Voting Rights Act of 1965 outlawed any type of literacy test determining who is smart enough or informed enough to vote, but apparently not in Florida.

Miriam was only 4 years old when women got the right to vote - 19th Amendment - see attached. Miriam has been very active and engaged in her government. Now the State of Florida simply takes away her rights. Just 3-4 months prior to the State of Florida claiming Miriam is/was "totally incapacitated", the same state said she was of sound mind and had the right to give her money to whoever she wanted. There are many unanswered questions about the actions of the State of Florida.

Please watch the video (link below) and listen to Miriam E. Lancaster. Do you believe this 100 year old American should have the right to vote - not to mention serious questions about the abuse of all of her rights?

Miriam needs pro-Bono attorney that has the will and courage to challenge the actions of the State of Florida. As it stands today, Miriam E. Lancaster has no rights! The State of Florida has stripped Miriam of her most basic rights as an American. We believe they have violated her rights under both the Voting Rights Act of 1965 and the Americans with Disabilities Act. We have serious questions about Miriam's case. Now, Miriam's funds are gone. This too causes great concern. This is not the American way!
