On voter suppression of minorities. Anyone Remember the Alamo?

http://www.bayareahouston.net/2012/06/remember-alamo.html

"Later "Remember the Alamo!" became the battle cry for the Texas Revolution. It was a lot easier to say and more catchy than "Remember when we tried to pick a fight with a few thousand well armed Mexicans by stealing their land and got the living hell beaten out of us!". Now another group of folks, called republicans and tea party "patriots", are stealing from Hispanics, Blacks, the elderly, and students by taking their rights to vote away through illegal purging of voter rolls and voter ID bills.
