Congressional Black Caucus rallies preachers to tackle voter-ID laws

6. GOOD! Is this what the GOTP ran on in order to gain power?

When will the American people learn? And I'm talking about the majority of Americans in this country, not the fringe GOTP. We need to be as vigilant and as dedicated to voting in each and every election from anything local, statewide, primaries, and the presidential.

In the primaries, the RepubliBots out-vote Democrats by 3% - Democrats 8% to the RepubliBots' 11%. If we don't change this, they will always win seats in power.

My 20-year-old daughter, who has voted in every election the moment she became 18, was astounded by how few people in her circle of friends vote! In fact, she was the only one! She immediately decided to have them all register to vote. When one protested and said she isn't political, my daughter countered with, "Fine. But when you find you can't find a job, or your taxes go up (Ryan's plan), or you get sick and can't get health insurance, then don't come whining."

It's astounding how many people don't know that, no matter how boring politics might seem to them, it has direct effect on your personal life if the wrong people are in office.
