Obama Doesn't Sweat. He should.

Camden Democrats,
Everything points to an Obama victory this November, and maybe not just a victory, but a landslide. There’s only one thing that can stop this, and the link that Jim Norris has passed to us deals with the reality of Republican voter suppression. Think it won’t happen? Think Florida ’00. Think Florida & Ohio ’04. Then read the series of articles by Greg Palast.

We will win this election hands down if we get out and register new voters and voters who have become disillusioned and allowed their registration to lapse for whatever reason. The Republican Party, that bastion of democracy, can only win if they can prevent people from voting! Now that’s democracy in action isn’t it? When we are conducting our registration drives, we must remember to do it by the book, but first make sure it’s not the Republican book. Also, when someone tells you they were unable to register for whatever reason, make sure they do not take it lying down, and make sure it is publicized! We can only win this election if it is conducted in a fair and legal manner. Stay alert, do it right, and make sure everyone else is doing it right. Republicans don’t try to eliminate just certain voters; they try to reject huge blocs of voters, so if they can find just one or two discrepancies, they’ll go after an entire bloc that’s similar in any way. They have disqualified huge numbers simply because people had the same name as a felon. Keep your eyes open, and don’t let them get away with it this time! This is OUR time!
