John Lewis Says Georgia's Massive Voter ID Checks are Harassment Today voting rights groups filed a suit against the Georgia Secretary of State charging that the voting rights of a Cherokee County citizen had been violated. This suit comes one day after serious concerns were lodged by the U.S. Department of Justice that Georgia's attempts to verify voter identity violated the Voting Rights Act, a federal law which mandates states with a history of discrimination clear any voting procedures with the Department of Justice before they are implemented during an election. The Social Security Administration has also raised questions about the number of Georgia's requests. Georgia has asked to verify the identities of 2 million voters. Rep. John Lewis, a symbol of the struggle for voting rights in America, made this statement in response to these events: Read More... http://johnlewis. house.gov/ index.php? option=com_ content&task= view&id=446 ============ ========= === Looking for Web Hosting With Quality Support? 24/7 Support Via Phone, Live Chat, and Email! http://www.tkqlhce. com/email- 3189384-10409151 ============ ========= === Sites of Interest Protest Warrior http://www.protestw arrior.com/ The Conservative Voice http://www.theconse rvativevoice. com/ Human Events http://www.humaneve nts.com/ World Net Daily http://www.worldnet daily.com/ American Conservative Daily http://www.american conservativedail y.com/ ============ ========= === Make a Fashionable Escape!

Like so many others her age, she considered herself to be a very liberal Democrat, and she was very much in favor of the redistribution of wealth. She was deeply ashamed that her father was a rather staunch Republican, a feeling she openly expressed.? Based on the lectures that in which she had participated and on the occasional chat with the marxist professors, she felt that her father had for years harbored an evil, selfish desire to keep what he thought should be his. One day she was challenging her father on his opposition to higher taxes on the rich and the addition of more government welfare programs. The self-professed objectivity proclaimed by her marxist professors had to be the truth, and she indicated so to her father. He responded by asking how she was doing in school.? Taken aback, she answered rather haughtily that she had a 4.0 GPA, and let him know that it was tough to maintain, insisting that she was taking a very difficult course load and was constantly studying, which left her no time to go out and party like other people she knew. She didn't even have time for a boyfriend, and didn't really have many college friends because she spent all her time studying. Her father listened and then asked, "How is you friend Audrey doing?"? She replied, "Audrey is barely getting by. All she takes are easy classes, she never studies, and she barely has a 2.0 GPA.? She is so popular on campus; college for her is a blast.? She's always invited to all the parties, and lots of times she doesn't even show up for classes because she has a hang over." Her wise father asked his daughter, "Why don't you go to the Dean's office and ask him to deduct a 1.0 off your GPA and give it to your friend who only has a 2.0?? That way you will both have a 3.0 GPA, and certainly that would be a fair and equal distribution of GPA." The daughter, visibly shocked by her father's suggestion, angrily fired back, "That wouldn't be fair! I have worked really hard for my grades!? I've invested a lot of time, and a lot of hard work! Audrey has done next to nothing toward her degree. She played while I worked my tail off!" The father slowly smiled, winked and said gently, "Welcome to the Republican Party! ============ ========= ========= = Philosophy skin care products http://www.jdoqocy. com/email- 3189384-10408860 ============ ========= ========= Visit Shonda Ponder's Blog http://shondaponder .blogspot. com ============ ========= ========= = If you have some news you would like to share, please contact me Contact Information Shonda Ponder [EMAIL PROTECTED] m.net 903-280-8263 __._,_.___ This is a special message to those of you willing to waste your time and gas to stand in line to cast your vote for President in the belief it will be counted fairly. http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601070&sid=aHYlbfzn95Yk&refer=home I'M MAD AS HELL, AND I'M NOT GOING TO TAKE IT ANY MORE. http://www.thepetit ionsite.com/ 1/recall- the-congress- of-this-united- states Would you like to help organize a march on Washington like the one that successfully brought an end to Viet war?
