As we approach the 50th anniversary of the #VRA, I am calling for a constitutional amendment to protect every citizen’s right to vote. -O’M

2. Mandatory voting, over a week period, to make sure everyone is able to vote.

No constitutional amendment needed. But the Anarch--Err, Libertarians here and elsewhere won't have it.

3. I can fully support that, Martin has been hitting some good points of late and I am listening to him

I look forward to him coming out this way to speak. Oregon would be good territory for him. His justice reform plan takes the heat off of him cannabis wise by taking a position Oregonians like myself can support.
I like your guy, and I think he's going to catch on. He has many excellent qualities and some advantages of the tactical sort that might come across as crass if I mention them so I won't, but he has some definite cards in his hand the others do not. O'Malley seems to be politically very adept. See, even that sounds a bit crass but I mean that in the very good way, he's a politician and should be adept politically. But I think I may have underestimated his skills tactically speaking. I bet I am neither the first nor the last to do so.

6. Good to hear, Bluenorthwest.

He's concentrating now on the early 'primary' states, introducing himself up close and personal, but I expect his staff is aware of good territories.

He IS politically adept, that's NOT crass; he knows what he learned in his early years in Maryland (and from working, earlier, for Gary Hart.)

4. This is simple

just the right used the term "right to work" we need to call it
"Right to Vote" law.
