Yes ma'am.

You KNOW it's coming.

I came across their "black panther guy in Philly, ZOMG!" on Google News. One guy (holding doors open for people) at one polling place in one city...that's their main story today.

Youth vote....doin there thang

The Race (PSA) - Jasiri X
by jasirix


One candidate's father was not born in America
He came here and got on welfare even scarier
His religion is different not Christian like the tradition
Plus he went to Harvard for law and business now listen
This might shock you so I'm gonna say it calmly
That candidates name is Mitt Romney
But out of his own mouth he was first to mention it
Nobody ever asked to see his birth certificate
Now is this just coincidence?
Or is because of what the color of his pigment is
Is this a incident of benefit
Cause of the skin he's in he automatically a citizen
Even though his father was a Mexican immigrant
Who was once a part of those 47 percentages
A lesson to the ignorant this place that we're living in
Your race can be a privilege, point blank period
Now go vote

the future!

"That's messed up, so I called."

Damn right. Don't take any shit. Take action.

Hells yeah.

DJ from Cleveland State? His vote counts just as much as Rush Limbaugh's or Mitt Romney's. Some in the Republican party can't accept that. It's why people like Chris Christie and Lindsey Graham are really going to go after the conservative extremists after this election: they know that Obama changed the voting culture, and that they're increasingly at risk if folks like this organize and vote.

The ironic and almost delicious thing is that this is also Karl Rove's legacy. He engineered the greatest disenfranchisement campaign in modern American history in 2004, and the GOP is going to be suffering the effects of that for many cycles.

n/t

People say, "How did that happen?" and it turns out they held the election in an off year in spring and it didn't get any media play except on local Right Wing Hate Radio.

There are also city council members who are Republican but don't declare their party and use blue on their campaign posters.

To see all of these young people, waiting in the Cold for their chance to be heard.

No apathy, Baby.

They know people will come in with absentee ballots, because OH rules allow voters to bring in ballots on the election day into board of elections. And yet they lock the doors?
Good for voters to not take no for answer, but that shouldn't have happened at all.

All this adds up to Armageddon to Republicans.

Your days are numbered and the count down to your demise has started!

gonna bring a lot of people into the fold with that attitude.

I like it

and the methods that sleazebag groups like True the Vote have used to attempt to disenfranchise the poor, minorities, the working class of our country are so incredibly intolerant, it clearly exposes them as the racist, bigoted bastards that they are. We have long-standing voter's rights laws that were enacted to prevent things like door-locking or intimidation of any sort at our polling places so any and all attempts to discourage voters MUST be acted on!

settle down

But, damn it to hell, enough is enough already! And furthermore, I don't generally use that kind of language, which means I'm really not pleased.

In any case, how many Repukes are trolling around here to see if the atmosphere is to their liking, in view of signing up?

This warms the heart to see young people involved and getting results.

Hoodie vote gettin' it done in O-H-I-O. The Vote Mob has got it down!

Thanks Will, I hadn't seen this new vid.

Good to see people not giving up in the face of this bullshit!

It's someone that locked the wrong door; people could still, *gasp*, walk around the building to the front. The horror!

Plus Jesse Jackson was there for the event! Are we living in fantasyland?

If this is held up as "voter suppression" be prepared to be ignored when real voter suppression actually happens. Crying wolf is not helpful.

I'm sorry but this is very irritating. Stop finding a conspiracy where none exists. Save your outrage for the truth.

dissuasion, discouragement and suppression, a bit of over-reaction might be considered as perfectly natural.

Give the bastards an inch and they'll take friggin' ten miles.

Eternal vigilance is the price of a democracy.

that there are some young activists out there fighting for EVERYONE'S rights.
We need that in a big way.
No more money ruling our elections.
It's supposed to be a government by WE THE PEOPLE, not them, the corporations!
