Please consider signing the petition at the link above.

Here we go again. They did it for George W. Bush in 2000, and now the Republicans are working to steal the 2012 Presidential election for Mitt Romney in Florida. It's straight out of Katherine Harris' playbook. Florida Governor Rick Scott is currently deploying a massive and systematic effort to purge up to 182,000 Floridians who are likely Democratic voters from the state's voting rolls.1

In 2000, Republicans purged the Florida voter rolls of people they said might be felons. Fast forward to 2012, and Florida's election officials are purging voters off the rolls that they claim are undocumented immigrants. The problem is that just like in 2000, Florida is poised to kick thousands of eligible voters off the rolls!

Florida has been mailing "ominous and legalistic" letters to thousands of potentially eligible voters as "non-U.S. citizens."2 Unless Governor Scott immediately orders the suspension of these purging efforts targeting "Hispanic, Democratic and independent-minded voters"3 by June 9, thousands of eligible voters in Florida could be disenfranchised before this year's Presidential elections.3 We need Attorney General Eric Holder at the Department of Justice to intervene right away to suspend the ongoing voter purging in Florida and deploy the agency's Civil Rights Division to launch an investigation into Governor Scott's actions.

Tell Attorney General Eric Holder: Immediately suspend and investigate Governor Rick Scott's efforts to purge thousands of eligible citizens from the voter rolls in Florida.

Sad, but true. His priorities are fucked.

I predict his response will be too little, too late.

33. Why isn't he already being told this, with vigor, from each of the Dem Senators, Representatives,

Governors, and, oh yea, the guy in the White House?

We have to be the water carriers?

And Holder is going to listen to us? If he hasn't before, why should he do so now?
