So, it is almost June and I am already nervous about the election this November. With all of this voter suppression, I want to know just one thing. What can I do? I'd like to send an email out to as many media outlets as possible. MSNBC is the only network I hear talking about this. CNN, ABC,NBC,CBS,NPR,and any other media outlets anyone can think of,please let me know.
I'd also like to send an email to the ACLU and any other civil rights organization anyone can think of.
I have to draft a very simple email. I know people hate reading long lengthy emails and I am not very good at conserving my words. If anyone can suggest to me some key points I need to make other than why no one is covering this and what can we do about it, I would appreciate it. Any advice or suggestions would also be welcome.
I really am concerned about this and I am not even sure I can make a difference or get through to anyone. My fear is, the Republican's and these rich Billionaires are not going to spend so much money only to have Obama win re-election. No, they are going to make sure they buy this election, even if they steal it to get it. Thanks again everyone and please help me join the fight!

Some feel as I feel in my heart~ Obama is the BEST candidate and for sure better than Howdy Doody Mitt.
Yes, the Rethugs are spending millions on this election for one reason -- they want to OWN this country and control America.
Wake up Democrats - we only have a few months to go.
And all the polls tell us that "it is neck and neck."
That is a LIE!
We can't do this with EVERY election. Citizens United is the problem!

I want all the media to cover this. This is very important. Ed had on a 90 some year old guy who lives in Florida who was not on the voters list. This guy has been voting since he was 18. He has to go to a hearing, and fill out paper work and do all this stuff to get back on the list. Well, what happens if all these people on the list go through all this shit? This needs to be exposed.
