Poll question: Will Democrats challenge disenfranshisement schemes in 2004?
or will they cave again, like they did in 2000?

4. I think it's up to all of us.
I know I'm a democrat, so I guess this makes it my responsibility as well.:thumbsup:

5. sure, it's up to all of us
i don't know if you remember the atomosphere during the 2000 "crisis"...it was like people were *waiting* for some leadership. and we got..."i strongly disagree."

i don't think we'll be *waiting* in 2004.

6. other
the majority of the dem party will not challenge such anti-democratic schemes because they too are bought and paid for. there will be a few exceptions, thoes dems will be worthy of praise.

10. perhaps the response here is an indication
of why these schemes are such a safe bet for the GOP.

11. We need to.
I advocate that we go door-to-door in Dem strongholds and give-out refrigerator magnets with a 1-800 number on them. Why magnets? People keep them in an easy-to-find place!

The 1-800 number would be for several reasons:
1) finding a polling place
2) voter registration information
3) reporting voter irregularities

We should consider this.. it wouldn't be that expensive..

12. this is a great idea
and i do think it will take grassroots efforts like this, and the BBV efforts to make sure the powers that be pay attention this time.
