It's the most outrageous attack on voting rights we've ever seen--if you live in Michigan and you're in danger of losing your home to foreclosure, Republicans will try and take away your right to vote. It's voter-suppression at its worst--taking advantage of hard times for political gain and kicking people while they're down.
McCain's response? Silence. Like Bush in 2000 and 2004, he's trying to keep a safe distance from these tactics, while benefiting from them. McCain could end this with a phone call. But he won't.
It's time to expose McCain's connection to this strategy. I've signed on with ColorOfChange.org to demand that McCain denounce these tactics. Will you join us? I t just takes a moment:
Similar tactics are being used across the country, but the McCain campaign simply sits in the background, quietly benefiting from voter suppression. The Obama campaign is fighting against this plan in the courts, but they need our help to expose these dishonorable tactics and make this a national story.
If enough of us step up and connect the dots, we'll give the press a reason to make the connection between McCain and what's happening in Michigan. And as we've seen in our other campaigns, when we stand together behind a clear message, the press covers it and moves our message forward.
Calling on McCain to publicly reject these tactics is just the first step in ColorOfChange.org's campaign to publicly shame the Republican Party for attacking the voting rights of struggling homeowners.
