Voter Suppression ‘Wiki’ Created to Track New, Incoming GOP Assaults on Democracy

Share article:

Working on a number of deadlines today, so pardon the light posting for the moment. In the meantime, the blizzard of anti-democracy GOP voter-caging/suppression reports continue to come in from around the country.

While we will, no doubt, have more on all of the latest soon, I wanted to quickly point out the brand new Voter Suppression Wiki that was set up late last week, by Baratunde Thurston, to track some of the stuff now rolling in at an alarming pace (with vastly inadequate Obama/Dem response, as far as I can tell.)

Thurston introduced the new participatory Wiki in a HuffPo article late last week. He included, along with it, a quick introductory video that pulls just together just some of the reports piling in from just the day or two before he finally decided such a site was very much needed. That short video alone is worth a quick view, as it offers a pretty astounding collection of just a few of the most appalling incidents rolling in the news late last week, courtesy of the well-organized GOP troops marshaling the latest full-frontal assualt (surge!) in the coordinated Republican War on Democracy. Here the short video…

    With all due respect to the voter suppression wiki (an all the blood and sweat entailed in that endeavor), If we consent to this financial crap will be needing a economic wiki next. And in that case it will be too late.

    Now I don’t know where the hell MY priorities are, but it’s hit time to take action RIGHT NOW.

    Section EIGHT

    “Decisions by the Secretary pursuant to the authority of this Act are non-reviewable and committed to agency discretion, and may not be reviewed by any court of law or any administrative agency.” This proposal attempts to defy the balance of power between the branches of government, and eliminates the checks and balances that make us a republic under law.

    1. In panic give the gang unfettered, unrestricted use of the full faith and credit of the United States.
    2. Paulson resigns
    3. Cheney resigns as Vice President
    4. Bush appoints Cheney as Treasury Secretary
    5. Kiss any semblance of democracy goodby.
    People this really matters rightnow. Voter suppression not so much.

    Any questions?

    Actually, they both matter very much. Fortunately, having large brains and opposable thumbs, as well as overpopulation, people can deal with more than one problem at a time.
