You Can't Vote Unless You Register

We need every citizen of America to vote.  Elections do matter.  Without a huge republican majority elected in 2010, when most democrats stayed home, the republicans could not have passed voter suppression laws, anti-union legislation, emergency manager bills, bills to shut down Planned Parenthood, bills to eliminate Title X family planning, threats to default on our country's deficit , bills to shut down abortion centers, bills to cut education while giving tax breaks to corporations and lets not forget mandatory and unnecessary trans-vaginal ultrasound bills.
Please VOTE
You can't vote unless you register
from the NAACP;
Registration and education.

Those three words are the mantra of This is My Vote. They represent the most effective way to fight back against voter suppression and to make your voice heard in November.

Over and over again we see the impact lawmakers can have on our lives. By registering to cast your ballot and educating yourself on the requirements for voting, you can have the effect on our country that proponents of these these laws are seeking to prevent.

Registering to vote takes only 5 minutes. Head to the This is My Vote site, fill out your application, and mail it in today:

Petition to Eric Holder; Stop the Voter Suppression

The republican party for the last 20 years has served almost exclusively the 1%.  The rich, old, white, not faithful, war loving republican party looked around and noticed that it was in danger of becoming a minority.   The 2011 census reported that whites are in a minority among new births.   Sensible people in a rational party would take a look at the policies their party supports and perhaps make some changes in those policies in order to meet the challenges of a shifting demographic.  Of course, republicans chose a different route.  The Koch brothers funded ALEC pushed union busting laws, and voter identification laws throughout the republican dominated state legislatures.  All these undemocratic measures are needed for the republicans to maintain their icy cold hearted grip on power.  In order to avoid a couple cases of  voter fraud in the entire nation we will dis-enfranchise millions of Americans.  It's all nonsense, this is about ensuring Barack Obama is not re-elected by  eliminating his base of voters.  Eric Holder can fix this.  Eric Holder can stop the republican sabotage of a strong citizen involvement in our democracy.  Please sign the Petition to protect Americans Constitutional Right to Vote
Sign the petition to Eric Holder to stop this wave of Un-American Voter Suppression.
