Why don't we have a national holiday to vote?

Its probably been discussed here a lot, but we really need legislation to get this done. It should be a part of any Democratic candidate's platform.

The Latest: Cliven Bundy jailed upon arriving in Portland

Just wow...

Cliven Bundy, the father of wildlife refuge occupation leader Ammon Bundy, has been booked into jail after flying into the Portland airport.

Multnomah County Jail records show Cliven Bundy was booked into the lockup just before 11 p.m. Wednesday. No charges were listed and his projected release date was listed as unknown.

Bundy was at the center of a standoff in Nevada with federal officials in 2014 over use of public lands.
