Republican Challenges To Voters Loom Across The U.S.
Lawyers in five states geared up Tuesday for a series of voter challenges that promised to mark this Election Day with as much contentiousness as the presidential race it was intended to resolve.

Days of shame: stomping on the right of black Americans to vote
Overseas, our troops are being mauled in the long dark night of Iraq—a war with no end in sight that has already claimed the lives of more than 1,100 American troops and thousands, perhaps tens of thousands, of innocent Iraqis.
At home, the party of the sitting president is systematically stomping on the right of black Americans to vote, a vile and racist practice that makes a mockery of the President’s claim to favor real democracy anywhere.
This will never be seen as a shining moment ...

Kerry OPPOSES media consolidation, SUPPORTS campaign-finance reform
Did you know that John Kerry and John Edwards are active opponents of media consolidation and active supporters of campaign finance reform? (Did you expect corporate-owned media to tell you about this?)
