Guest Commentary

BILL BERKOWITZ FOR BUZZFLASH AT TRUTHOUT

"As the nation gears up for the 2012 presidential election," Ari Berman recently wrote in Rolling Stone magazine, "Republican officials have launched an unprecedented, centrally coordinated campaign to suppress the elements of the Democratic vote that elected Barack Obama in 2008." Amongst the methods being put forward in Republican-controlled state houses across the country are initiatives making registering to vote a much more difficult and laborious process.

In a piece titled "The GOP War on Voting," Berman reported that "Kansas and Alabama now require would-be voters to provide proof of citizenship before registering Florida and Texas made it harder for groups like the League of Women Voters to register new voters Maine repealed Election day voter registration."

ANOTHER place, along with manipulation of voting machines, where Dems have to get off our butts. THEY ARE WORKING ON STEALING ANOTHER ONE, and may make W look GOOD in comparison.

2. It's news to me, and many others, I'm sure
A comment like yours (not news, etc) is, IMO, destructive to discussion. I'm sure that wasn;t your intent, and No offense intended, but it's true.
