Oct 2012

Corporations have taken over our Democracy. I'm in Ohio and lived through 2004...it was horrible. We all learned then what the Corporate CEOs are willing to do.

The DOJ has to step up in OHIO. We have a TERRIBLE SoS....a disgusting Repugnant named Husted. Watch for his name. He has been trying all along to disenfranchise Black, elderly, and student voters. Hell, he just wants no Dems to be able to vote.

ETA: Welcome to DU. The world has turned upside down. These voting machines are so costly to begin with, then there is the storage costs, and the maintenance costs. Just give me a the ballot and a pencil. Thank you.
