A plan to Get people registered, AND get them to the poles to vote THIS election!! (wherever it's needed) THIS would be investing their money wisely! The RETHUGS only win by STOPPING people from voting. This in my eyes has to be defeated! If such a plan came about, i feel that would be OUR answer to SC'S Citizens United bullshit! Any thoughts on this?

(38 posts)Steyers organization has been helping teens and students register for years.
The problem is that Republican Secretaries of State and county clerks have conspired to suppress the youth vote by closing precincts near colleges to produce long lines at those which remain, and using bogus voter photo ID laws that dont accept college IDs.

We can all work on our families, friends, neighbors, coworkers to get them to the polls.
