Voting Rights Act, Southern Style

Do you think that the Republicans are proud of themselves?

Horray for Democrats who are at the very least DEMOCRATIC!!!!

IMPEACH CHENEY FIRST

IMPEACH THE PUPPET NEXT

Voting Rights Act, Southern Style

That's enough to scare me right there.LOL. Sheez, I didn't even have to read the rest of it to know this is getting serious.

All Democrats need to look out for ALL petitions calling for the renewal of the Voting Rights Act and sign them. Contact your members of Congress and if you have a one,like mines, who's already doing the right thing, call somebody else's and tell them.CALL, E-MAIL, VISIT, Whatever you have to do,(legally) do it!

I'd like to see if anyone can help get all the canidates on all the ballots. Curently in Ohio the democratic and republican ballots only show that parties canidate. I feel that this gives an unfair advantage to the republican party. Other states have only one ballot with everything on every ballot. This can make a difference in the 2008 election.

Ohio, are you talking primary or general election?

With the most recent, but certainly not the first, documentation of Republican vote fixing by, RFK, Jr., in Rolling Stone, what is it going to take to get Democrats to act??? They’re flagrantly breaking the law (not only the VRA, but ignoring court orders and basically having their way, i.e. Blackwell) and nobody is doing anything about it. We can’t possibly change anything while they remain the majority. Somebody has to step up and expose the Republicans and the press or we are going to keep sinking further and further into Fascism

Wow,
I have always expected that the conservatives in this country would challenge progressive economic plans like Social Security and social programs like public schools, just out of their selfish, incompitent nature. However, I hardly expected them to vie to deliberately discriminate against minorites by negatively tampering with the Voting Rights Bill. The Republican Party is truly the racist party in the United States. Let us stand up for racial equality and vote out all of Bush's cronies in this next election.

THE BALLOT OR THE BULLET
What will America choose?

This shows that the republicans don't really care about us, that they know that they are in truble so they got to do what they can to fix the election by weeding out those who won't vote for them

I am terrified of these electronic voting machines and we should commence with an immediate unilateral push for a congressional vote demanding that the flaws are addressed and that a paper trail is an ultimatum. Our push should be so strong that we publicly brand those who oppose the measure as traitors. Those who are not with us will be painted as unamerican and this must be done viciously. With this tactic, we win either way. If we initiate and position ourselves as the "defendors of legitimate democracy", it will either help us pressure them to force some isle-crossers on the right vote with us which will get the bill past and subsequently, Bush will be politically forced to sign it to stop us from further capitalizing on the culture of corruption. If it wouldn't pass, it could be used to mobilize our liberal base and bring out a larger majority in the November elections which is a natural defense against voter fraud. They can only cheat so much. This is a way the Rovian Fear tactic could be used to our advantage. Not for nothing, it would be honest becuase we have a great deal to be afraid about. My name is Siren because there should screaching alarms heading towards this election. I am convinced that the corruption in the Republican party is so deep that its not a matter of if they will attampt election fraud, its how. They are forced to try to steal power for the third time because if we secure a majority, the beans will be spilt once and for all. If this happens, the house of cards will fall. This election is more critical than '04 and I am convinced that this is an issue that can be used to unite the party.

Siren:

I agree with you that the Republicans will try once more to steal the election. They have got away with it twice. It would be total foolishness for Liberal Democrats to think not.

The Conservative Republican Lite Democrat "moles", like Lieberman, will help the Republicans. Therefore, Liberal Democrats should be the only Democrats in charge of the voting process at all the polls for the Democratic side. And, when a problem arises because of the Republican Diebold Voting Machines that make it so easy for Republicans to switch the vote, the vote should be redone with strictly paper ballots; and the Deibold Voting Machines scrapped. A new election should be set, instead of decided by a Republican Supreme Court to give the election to Republicans another time.

Every trick in the book,and they seem to write their own book if they have to.They play with the law,our sacred Bill of Rights,Contitution,and anything else it takes to win.For the supposed party of morals,they certainly don`t seemed to have any.It goes on&on with the repubs.I tuthfully think they don`t think there will be a price to pay for this?Either that or they have the system so rigged that they will stay in power anyway.

This is a complicated problem. Many states, including TN, have been giving drivers licenses to illegal aliens. There are also multiple people using the same social security number illegally or using fictious numbers. At the local level, small towns do not want illegal aliens to vote nor do they want people who are getting multiple welfare checks to vote more than once. If many people keep showing up to vote all day long with the same utility bill, should they be allowed to vote? What if they go by different aliases? How many times should they vote?
One person, one vote, citizens only.
The only way I see this ever working is for a national identification card with biometric identification like finger print.

By the way, I don't even see Ohio on the list at all, not a single county. Why don't you go after states that obviously have a big problem? Because they aren't Southern?
