The New Face of Jim Crow: Voter Suppression in America

"I don't want everybody to vote. Elections are not won by a majority of the people. They never have been from the beginning of our country and they are not now. As a matter of fact, our leverage in the elections quite candidly goes up as the voting populace goes down."

— Radical Right strategist Paul Weyrich, at a 1980 training session for 15,000 conservative preachers in Dallas.

3. Much More Effective Than Screaming If You Ask Me

McCain/Palin seem to be screaming a lot.
