Mukasey instructing states to purge voter rolls
According to Thom Hartmann and Ellen Ratnor yesterday, the Attorney General, who should have plenty to do prosecuting the daily high crimes of the Bush administration, is writing letters to various GOP operatives in the states, telling them to get busy aggressively removing people from the voter rolls.

Anyone have a suggestion on what to do about this?

They are afraid Obama shutting down their money spigot. Or investigations maybe...

2. Yes. We need a campaign to get people to check their registration
Especially in the swing states, especially in the precincts they always target - black, military, student and low income urban.

3. again, we are in another election cycle and why hasn't
anything been done about the electoral process, are we going to be screwed again, by these thugs, I just hope it does not happen again. The only way to stop them is us, we need to get out there and vote, we have to think about the Supreme Court and do we want the radical right to destroy everything we ever believed in. We have to restore our Constitution, and the world is watching us. We are in this altogether.

7. You know what I think, if this can be sustantiated with a SINGLE
one of those letters, then Congress should have him arrested. Seriously.

11. First, get more information
Would you contact Thom Hartmann or look on his website and see if any documentation is available? That's a place to start, but not the only place. A public records request *might* get you some information. If you can get corroboration of this story, in addition to posting it, please PM me. I may be able to do a call for action by the Velvet Revolution Election Protection Strike Force.

Thanks.

18. I can't find anything on hartmann's web site about it
maybe I imagined it, but I don't think so. It was in the 5-minute segment that he has with ellen ratnor every day.

13. That f*ing bastard. We will need to be proactive - Dean needs to get the ball rolling.
On a personal level, it will be up to all of us to talk to people and have them check to make sure they're registered.
