40. Us and the congressmen and women who stood up and protested
the election, John Kerry's email asked his however many 10's of millions to call delay and hastart, many dem speaches on the 6th called out republicans, who had worked on election reform in the past, on Hava, and such. Jessie jackson,and many others are calling for a civil rights movement to include the right to vote. Theres all sorts of promised legislation, and it's up to us to keep the attention on it and them, and to keep lobbying the right folks, using our numbers,. and also informing the public. It's always an uphill battle, and it may not happen this year or next, but it will happen. When the dem establishment is behind it, the fact that even reid spoke, and stood by boxer, shows that this is being taken seriously, and is not going away. We also need to get republicans on tv and corner them with the issue, no-rational person is going to be ok with voter suppression and disinfranchisement of minorities.
