Daily Kos: Voter suppression is un-American

Whoever thought we would continue to fight for the RIGHT TO VOTE?


When the GOP can't legitimately win elections, they resort to irrational tactics to DISENFRANCHISE VOTERS!

There have been instances of VOTER OBSTRUCTION in MASSACHUSETTS .... we are not immune from these zealots.

The worst secretary of state in the nation gets skewered for suppressing the vote in Kansas If the GOP has thoroughly accomplished one thing in the past 6 years, it's this Wow! Hundreds are signing up every day to make phone calls to turn out Democratic voters in the states that will decide which party controls the Senate. Sign up to make calls! I can’t make phone calls now. But I can help win the breakthrough Senate race in South Dakota by contributing $3 each to Democratic Senate candidate Rick Weiland and local grassroots efforts to help get Native American voters to the polls. Democrat Rick Weiland Breakthrough in path to diabetes treatment Rolling Stone: Obama is one of the 'most successful presidents in history' (plus an interview with Paul Krugman) The story behind this AMAZING photo of young Nigel If you sign this petition to the EPA right now, you can actually DO something about climate change The South Dakota Senate race is Schrödinger's election Spoiler independent candidate saying he's 'not rich,' claims upscale D.C. apartment as his 'principal residence' Excerpts about Larry Pressler, the Fraud! below: Larry Pressler No matter how many times we've seen this story before, there's always one person it matters for most: the candidate in question. So while it may feel like old news to you, the fact that Republican-turned-independent Larry Pressler has actually claimed Washington, DC, as his "principal residence" while running for Senate in South Dakota is certainly going to sting him. Fortunately, Democrats have a real option for change in South Dakota. Rick Weiland's visited all 311 towns in the state twice, and no one doubts his rock-solid ties to his home state. He's a true prairie progressive, and he has a great chance to pull off an upset. Please give $3 to elect a real South Dakotan—and a real progressive—to the Senate. Voting by mail is convenient, easy, and defeats the best of the GOP's voter suppression efforts. Sign up here to check eligibility and vote by mail, then get your friends, family, and coworkers to sign up as well. So let's help send a genuine guy like Weiland to Washington—and not some phony like Pressler, who's already there. But Pressler has also been an owner of two apartments in Manhattan. He currently owns on East 57th Street between Park Avenue and Lexington Avenue. He bought that unit in 2008 for $655,000, and took out a $200,000 mortgage, according to New York City property records. He previously owned an apartment in the Trump Parc on Central Park South, the swank street that runs the length of the south end of the legendary park. He bought that in 2006 for $360,000, and sold it for $435,000 in 2007. He didn’t respond to an email seeking comment about the New York apartment.
