Dear EmailNation Subscriber,
Not so long ago, when Karl Rove was still dreaming of a permanent Republican
majority, 2008 was shaping up to be possibly the dirtiest election season yet.
As Andrew Gumbel writes in this week's issue of The Nation, the plan was to use
every legislative and executive lever available to the GOP to suppress the
votes of minorities, students, the poor, the transient and the elderly. Gumbel
warns that many pieces of that plan are still in place and could pose a threat
on November 4. http://www.thenation.com/doc/20081110/gumbel
Keep watching TheNation.com for timely coverage of the final days of the
longest and, perhaps, most critical presidential campaign in modern US history.

Live From Main Street Seattle: Beyond Hockey Moms and Palin Politics
Sunday, October 26, Seattle
In this nationally televised town hall hosted by RadioNation's Laura Flanders,
an all-women panel will examine how issues of national security impact our
daily lives and ask the tough questions about how to build a better future.
Does the solution lie in our military or social policies? What are women doing
to ensure security in their communities and in the world at large? And how does
the militarization of our budget affect security in other areas of our lives?
Get info on the event and find out how you can watch at home on your computer.
