Fire Up That Voter Registration Drive

Jennifer Jewell Thomas writes about something that has been on our mind as well as of late. How can we fight back against the new voter ID laws, registrations purges, and other shenanigans that voters will undoubtedly face come November? Jennie reminds us that while we work for absolute election integrity, we can help to create short-term hope for an election result that reflects the will of the people:

Below are two links to YouTube videos by Mark Crispin Miller, the professor of Media Studies at NYU who has written extensively on the issue of election integrity (see his Harpers article and two of his books, “Fooled Again” and “Lose Take All”). Here are his recent videos on the Bush/Cheney endgame desperate measures:

Endgame: Part One
Endgame: Part Two

As MCM says, working for a large voter turnout (to offset the new voter ID laws and registration purges mandated by the Department of “Justice”) is our best short-term hope for an election result that reflects the will of the people. In addition, we need widespread awareness of what is going on by publicizing works such as this by Miller, Wolf’s “End of America” (see below) and Earnhardt’s documentary “Uncounted” (see his website for show times or to order copies of the movie).

In trusting that “the pendulum will swing” when it is time for the votes to be counted, we are like a codependent woman with an abusive boyfriend; surely next time he will do what is right. – Excerpt from “End of America” by Naomi Wolf

Thanks, Jennie!
