"My task which I am trying to achieve is, by the power of the written word, to make you hear, to make you feel--it is, above all, to make you see." -- Joseph Conrad (1897)
Disenfranchisement in America
Denying the vote to students, DC citizens, felons, and non-citizens. Join the fight! Part of a series on voter protection.
No Joey, speaking for myself, I would accept our system allowing all of its citizens to vote and to quit actively barring/discouraging certain groups from engaging in the basic steps of citizenry (casting a vote--basic in that citizenship is only a tiny spark at that stage and involves much more)...
Thanks Airplane!

Did you go to Ralph Nader on campus today? Very impressive, convincing talk!
