Folks, we have to work together, we really do...It has to start NOW, HERE

Voter suppression WAS in force this last election...

http://billmoyers.com/2014/11/05/much-difference-new-voting-restrictions-make-yesterdays-close-races/

Just because some of the races were not close, the ones that were very easily could have been within the margin where suppression worked.

AND there are TWO types of voter suppression, first the most obvious of voter ID and so on and secondly, making YOU think your vote does NOT count because BOTH sides are the SAME...that one probably is more effective than voter ID which is unconstitutional, dont you just love how they have us talking about what TYPE of ID is OK as opposed to NO requirement of ID is OK!

I say we put aside our differences, we work for whoever we want to work for in the primary, myself I will work for Bernie, but then at the end of the day we come together, like John said to do.














Oh, and you can follow this twitter account and help me expose voter suppression, thank you...
