More from OurFuture.org’s Joshua Ferrer:

“In addition to implementing the harshest voter ID law in the nation, the bill ends same-day registration, limits early voting, ends Sunday voting, allows any citizen to challenge voter eligibility, eliminates public financing for elections, eliminates pre-registration for 16- and 17 year-olds, and ends single-ticket voting, among other provisions.”

between "internet liberals" and the rest of us. It's astounding the things that make the front page here, and the things that drop to the bottom. It's a hundred degrees in the shade here in NC, and people coming together to push for change deserve support. There are pressing issues, besides the economy, that affect us all.

Even though I can't attend the march in W-S, my hat is off to Moral Mondays & Rev. Barber for their tenacity and dedication to pushing for change.

So much focus is placed on national politics, but the real damage is being done in state houses across the country. I'm afraid that one issue voters will be the death of our democracy. If your sole focus is on "economic justice", you're not ally, you're part of the problem.
