Kessler is all kinds of awesome (including being a great dad, my mate worked with Kessler's daughter, she was awesome too).

Might all Americans be so smart and engaged, fighting the fights that needs to be fought.

1. People who don't vote Republican don't vote at all... Yep that is their mission.... but I wish we

could really rip back the curtains and talk about why scott Walkers buddy does the secret code programing for our elections.... Ask the GAB who this Republican is... Ask the GAB why they don't have an independent person who will allow an inspection of this source code and monitor it... Because that is the best way they disinfranchise the people who don't vote with them.... But just the same this Representative Fred Kessler gets it....

2. Well, they can't win on policy, so this is what they have left.

5. A New voting policy for US

The policy is no longer to let the people pick the politicians but instead to have the politicians pick the people.

6. Angry Badger!

7. Republicans made their bed by setting policy against the people & now they should OWN it.

Stifling the people's ability to vote is the coward's way.
