GOP-Backed Voting Restrictions Could Keep 5 Million Americans Home In 2012
http://politicalcorrection.org/blog/201110030004


Apparently, Republican legislators in the world's leading democracy see that more than four in 10 eligible voters stay home even in presidential years and think, "We can do worse than that." State laws passed this year may keep as many as 5 million Americans from participating in the 2012 elections, according to a new study of state laws restricting access to the voting booth by the http://brennan.3cdn.net/a42d9fb1d3d4bb2f4a_40m6bji7n.pdf">Brennan Center for Justice.

4. voting restrictions
Most of the noise is about voter I.D. The Brennan Center lists what voter I.D. are valid. Its simple, help those who do not have valid I.D.s to get them, follow the rules set up by the reprehensible republicans, and turn this around on them. This is the time to turn the tides on the congressional republicans. They got in on a platform of new jobs, but have failed at theirs.
Keep making them work for us.
