I suggest you follow my twitter account and others

like this one

https://twitter.com/Educateallcampa

and work to educate people as to what unconstitutional, illegal ID requirements are they being required to subject themselves to in their states.

The current projection is approximately FIVE MILLION VOTES nationwide will be stolen by the GOP by preventing voting and stealing votes on electronic machines.

Neither Bernie or Hillary can get your vote if your state's voting machine is rigged or if you are not allowed to vote.

in my day. But keep up the good work. I volunteer locally with a Bernie group to get people registered to vote and to make sure they're registered as A DEMOCRAT to vote in the Florida Primary!

which means I'm in one of the most RED counties in the state. Not easy, but we ARE having some success with people. Just need to make sure they UNDERSTAND about the Primary issue and how long they have left to register. THIS is a huge issue!

Keeping my fingers crossed, but we do have many I Independents too, but many Repubs aren't happy with what's happening with their Party.

At least we did when I last voted on one. I switched to Absentee, but there's NO WAY you can find out that your vote got counted. You can check to see if you voted online... but no way to find out if they actually counted it, and I've tried to get this information several times. NO ANSWER!

students here. Several colleges, one rather expensive one. New College and they're are pretty active here so that's also a plus. Ringing School Of Arts too. I worked with them before, but haven't checked with them lately. I'm a little further south, but not very much.

First crime: suppressing the vote for reasons that are clearly illegal and unconstitutional

Second crime: allowing voting machines to count the vote that are either NEVER VERIFIED or IMPOSSIBLE TO VERIFY.

Unless the vote can be AND IS verified and the voter feels confident his or her vote has been counted fairly, YOU CANNOT HAVE A DEMOCRACY. This is what was decided by the Germany's highest constitutional court in 2009:

http://www.opednews.com/articles/Germany-bans-computerized-by-Paul-Lehto-090303-583.html

Before we start another war or keep fighting the present wars supposedly to spread the blessings of democracy, we should stop and spend as many years as it takes restoring our own so-called democracy. At present, democracy is practically non-existent as a result of big money politics, illegal voter suppression, and unverifiable vote counts conducted by private, far right-wing private companies.

Until the rigged voting system is fixed, we have no democracy. Americans are just like 1980's USSR citizens. They all got to vote too but somehow the vote always came out in favor of the communist party.

But I'm the political junky who rounds up my family to get out to vote. There are MANY Boomer's who support Bernie, despite what's being reported. Many of my friends support him, so I wonder where the information is coming from about Bernie only getting the younger voters. Perhaps it's true... just not seeing it myself.

Some people dilute the volume of the one true voice they own by empowering multi-national corporations who oppose progress.

When millions don't vote, when the poor and downtrodden are purposefully excluded, when only the invested count, they say "Mission accomplished".
