someone like Dicky Nixon would say, we knew it was gonna be shit and lies, but the guy was a genius so he challenged you to keep up with is crimes.

Today they are all really dumb people.

people STILL are kept from doing so.

The text of the proposed new Amendment (was getting an error from the link in the article but it's the same text as this - http://pocan.house.gov/media-center/press-releases/pocan-and-ellison-announce-right-to-vote-amendment)-

used to keep people from voting. That it should be lifelong, unless the right to vote is removed for very strong reasons.

So many GOP voted for Bush, Jr. thinking he was Bush, Sr., that I figure a cat or dog should be able to vote, too.

Of course, there are good reasons to oppose my idea, as some people don't have birth certificates that satisfy the GOP.

I'm thinking that registration should be handed out to all people as soon as they are naturalized, too, if that's not already done.

One fo the things that Holder's DOJ did in MO was to hand out registrations to everyone they met. IIRC, they went door to door to get evidence of the oppressive conditions there.

Just tossing that one out there. If nothing else, this effort should put the notice to the GOP that the nation is getting wise to their shenanigans and obstruction.

Para. 2 - Amendment 14:

"Section 2.

Representatives shall be apportioned among the several states according to their respective numbers, counting the whole number of persons in each state, excluding Indians not taxed. But when the right to vote at any election for the choice of electors for President and Vice President of the United States, Representatives in Congress, the executive and judicial officers of a state, or the members of the legislature thereof, is denied to any of the male inhabitants of such state, being twenty-one years of age, and citizens of the United States, or in any way abridged, except for participation in rebellion, or other crime, the basis of representation therein shall be reduced in the proportion which the number of such male citizens shall bear to the whole number of male citizens twenty-one years of age in such state."

... but that states can't only allow voting in a discriminatory fashion. That is why the right should be codified, so that it is the obligation for the state to find the way to make sure everyone is able to vote, rather than finding ways to limit people's ability to vote unless they "work hard" through the paperwork to do get this ability to vote. Then a lot of this voting disenfranchisement would be unconstitutional, not just "inconvenient".

and not just use the nebulous term "person" that have allowed the PTB misconstrue the 14th amendment to give corporations the rights to "corporate personhood". If we aren't careful the way we write this, then corporations will find ways to make it so that corporations also have the "right" to vote in elections, and then they'll be qualified in the number of votes by the number of employees or something assinine like that. All it takes is a set of partisan courts to make this sort of law, which we seem to have going up the chain now to SCOTUS.
