Senators Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-NY) and Barbara Boxer (D-CA) today unveiled comprehensive voting reform legislation to make sure that every American is able to vote and every vote is counted, they were joined by Representative Stephanie Tubbs Jones (D-OH), who will sponsor the legislation in the House of Representatives, and voting rights advocates.
Republican go nuts!
The highlights of the plan would be...
- Make election day a national holiday
- "No-excuse" Absentee balloting
- Standardize voter registrations requirements
- Same day voter registration nation wide
- Restore voting rights to felons who have served there time (most states do this already)
- All voting machines must give a paper receipt
I urge all readers, regardless of your party, to please urge your Senator to get on board with this. This is good for America, all of America.
Please go to senate.gov right now.
Funny, with all the great things that this bill brings to the table, the Neo-con press can only point out one thing, here is an example "Hillary and Kerry: Let Felons Vote", don't belive the hype! 35 states allow fellons to restore there rights once they are free, and off probation or parole
