Repugs are nervous in Mississippi - plan to challenge voters

[merh]

Dear Magnolia Bar Members and Friends:

Just last night, we have heard from reliable sources that members of the Republican Party in Mississippi will be present at heavily populated African American and Democratic voting precincts to challenge residency, age, and other voting requirements. In my humble opinion these tactics amount to nothing more than voter intimidation and disenfranchisement of the citizens of this State.

The founders of this organization formed this organization to promote fairness and justice in the legal system. Thus, this organization has a duty to ensure that no citizen is denied the right to vote! We are asking all members to be available on election day to help address any problems that might arise at polling precincts. Some of you have already volunteered. Thank you, but we need so many others to volunteer. If you are willing to volunteer and have not expressed your willingness, please call the Magnolia Bar office at [phone] or email us at [e-mail]

In support of this effort, we are holding a press conference TODAY at 3:00pm at the law offices of PIGOTT REEVES JOHNSON & MINOR (Carlton Reeves), 775 N. Congress Street in Jackson. Please make all efforts to attend the press conference on this very important issue!

Crystal Martin, President
Magnolia Bar Association, Inc.

1. Repugs are nervous all over America right now.

Even in Texas! LOL.

[merh]

2. It is amazing, they are going to challenge, intimidate voters all

over the nation! They have no shame! :mad:

3. And we have no fear.

They'll be sorry they tried.

4. they have to suppress voters. THERE.IS.NO.WAY.THEY.CAN.WIN.

Not in a fair election. A majority--LARGE majority--of the citizens of this country do not want $hruco returned to power, and are willing to vote to make their wishes known. If estimates are to be believed, there is a massive influx of new new voters, and they ain't going for bush*.

No, the only way to win, or at least appear to win, is to limit the damage by limiting the voters. It's vulgar, disgusting, illegal and what the current-day g.o.p. is all about.

[merh]

5. How these people can live with themselves is beyond me!

We are greater in number and more motivated, we won't let them win!

We will win this one, we just have to!

8. This is like a giant FL 2000

they are working to keep voters out all over the damn country.

9. Absolutely. The gop is probably spending MORE money keeping people...

...from voting than they are spending getting people to vote. It's all about supression and limiting the electorate--especially minorities--in any way possible. We're starting to hear about the *dirtiest*.

These people suck. In a real democracy you encourage EVERYONE to vote. It's that "will of the people" thing.

10. You'd think in Ole Miss

that they'd refrain from doing this sort of thing out of shame about past sins, if for no other reason.

6. Code Blue in Mississip'

Ya baby! Let's blow a big gaping hole in shrub's ego! Kerry in a landslide baby!

[merh]

7. I like that -- CODE BLUE

I think I will be using that for the next 4 days or so!

Thanks and a belated welcome to DU! :hi:

11. Remember it's probably a felony to falsely challenge voters

be sure to know the law and to challenge the challengers as the felons they are.

[merh]

12. We have already gathered the statues and put together packets

for those monitoring the poll places.

[merh]

13. Kick

Hey folks, don't let them distract us from the issues - they are trying to steal this election for gosh sakes!
