NC Sen. Josh Stein Debates Voting Restrictions Bill - MUST SEE and SHARE!!!

Josh Stein takes 20 minutes and gives the ultimate speech on how critical suffrage is for our democracy and excoriates his GOP colleagues for stripping away this precious fundamental right from seniors, students and minorities.

This is patriotism AT ITS FINEST! Please share with any/everyone you know.

Watch this video, and you can see all the old white guys that passed this bill. What they did in another republican state is stop people from voting, why, I will tell you, the republicans don't have any new ideas just the same old shit, cut taxes for rich people, export jobs through stupid trade agreements that don't work for the American people.

I thought civics was discontinued as a public school subject.

Possibly because government does not want it's own citizens to know how it works.

Could be wrong, though. When I was in public school over 4 decades ago, they had "social studies" and not civics.

Restricting peoples right to vote in this day and age is simply un-American!

This is a great lesson in how a political party can make itself irrelevant to the future.
