In Michigan, the Republican party is “planning to use a list of foreclosed homes to block people from voting in the upcoming election as part of the state GOP’s effort to challenge some voters on Election Day. ...[This] is likely to disproportionately affect African-Americans who are overwhelmingly Democratic voters. More than 60 percent of all sub-prime loans — the most likely kind of loan to go into default — were made to African-Americans in Michigan.”(The Michigan Messenger, 9/10/08).

So, if you are one of the eighty percent of Americans who feel that our nation is headed in the wrong direction, throw the bums out on November 4, 2008. Help elect Barack Obama and give him a filibuster-proof majority in Congress, so he can make the necessary changes to counteract eight years of the Bush Administration and restore the U.S. Constitution and the rule of law to the United States of America.
In view of what the Republicans have done in the past, it would be a good idea to check to make sure you are registered to vote. You can check your registration and/or register at: www.voteforchange.com/index_obama.php.
You can find registration deadlines, polling places and all kinds of election-related information (like what ID you may need) for your specific location at: http://www.canivote.org/.
Please vote. It may be the most important thing you do this year. Don’t let the Republicans steal another election and tell us to “Get over it”. We’ve had enough.
