people working 2 jobs or more, $7.25 and hour, with families, and children in school, they often can't "pay attention." What we should expect is that our representatives actually do represent us and respond to our concerns and not hug us and then vote to let us die.

Being able to vote should be made easier, not harder, Obama (and I love Obama) did not champion voting rights, so thanks Obama.
