Kerry in a landslide! Ignore all polls.
According to Randi Rhodes today, there are 250,00 NEW registrants for the Dems from rural and low-income areas.

Repukes have 25,000 new registrants.

Here in Florida, I tell every Afro-American person I know to vote because they are the ones with the voice in this election.

1. in Florida
They'll be lucky if they are allowed to vote. Tell them not to put up with any bullshit from election workers. They cannot be arrested or otherwise penalized for not having paid a bill. Hell, even if there is a warrent out for their arrest, they can't be harassed.

5. That's why Jesse Jackson rode all thru Florida not only
registering people, but giving them "instructions" on what to do if they were turned away.

Good move.

10. And if they can't vote,go to a local TV station affilaiate.....
And show them how the same disenfranchisement in 2000 is going on again in 2004. Don't wait until the damn thing is over,get TV stations to cover disenfranchisement live.

11. Here in Mich
I was phone-banking Sunday, spoke to a woman in a low income precinct. She said she hoped she'd be able to vote, she'd just registered.
I assured her that we haven't reached the deadline yet, she should be OK.
Also told her that if she encounters any people outside the polling place that they are NOT official and she doesn't have to speak to them.
Also told her if the poll workers say she isn't in the book then she can cast a provisional ballot.
Finally, gave her the phone number for our campaign office so she can call if she has any trouble.

2. With all of their terror hype
they forgot they stole an election and they are going to pay for it. People haven't forgotten that they've been waiting patiently for pay back time. Especially African Americans.

Tucker Carlson loves to say get over it and blah blah are you still hanging on to that blah blah. And it's going to get shoved right up his tight little butthole.

There are so many of these pukes that I am going to take enormous pleasure in seeing eat shit

:evilgrin:

4. Tell Tucker Carlson that if we had to chose between
him and Jimmy Carter, we'll pick Jimmy Carter -- every day.

6. I get I need to work on my "PC" skills, but to tell you the truth,
the people I know who are black, I call black, not AA. So if I am referring to voting in their community, I call it the black community.(they don't seem to mind).

18. I agree.
I use black also. The only complaint I had was from a close friend when the term AA came into use. I asked him which of the two to use and he said that as far as he was concerned, there was no black organization that spoke for him and black was just fine.

17. Now I am all confused. Afro-American/African-American???
Google for Afro-American. So the word isn't always African-American.

20. My generation associates "Afro" with a hairstyle.
If there are people in the black community that prefer "Afro" then so be it. I haven't meant them, personally. I'm sure if it is prevalent, it will turn up in movies with the same abundance as the "N*****" word. I may not understand why they do it, but it certainly is their perogative to do so.

19. Didn't it used to be "Afro-American" in the '70s?
I seem to recall that being the correct terminology in the 1970s. Does anyone else recall this, or am I smoking crack?

13. The latest Water Man Poll
shows Kerry as in the lead, with the republican party looking to manipulate the media and steal the election. Kerry- 51%; Bush-42%; Nader- .0001%; other - 6.9%)

16. YES!
The truth speaks. The corporate media will lie to their last
breath, and it is deeply in the GOP interest to get people not
to turn out because they are supposed to think they've already
lost.

They goin' down! :-)
