If you need to help people overcome the GOP-led voter-run-around campaign help them do that.
This site, https://www.aauw.org/resource/organize-a-voter-registration-drive/, has a how-to on organizing a voter registration drive. Or even sitting outside Wal Mart with a folding chair and a card table. Yes, thatâs the American Association of University Women.
And while weâre here organize a League of Women Voters chapter in your community if you donât already have one. Fair, honest and above board. Democracy functions better with them involved.
Now get yer ass up off the couch and ring a few doorbells!
I dunnoâŚitâs hard for me to see her winging a baton around with any effect. Was she arrested as well? I knew about Fred Trumpâs arrest but not that she was in attendance at the goings on.
Thanks
Not to mention the fact that it should read âXiâs major rival.â In China, Japan, and Korea the family name comes first, followed by the given name. Itâs obviously different from the western convention, but itâs really not that hard.
I think Kate understates the outrageousness of Trumpâs ignorance here. What is implied in the Politico article is not just that he doesnât realize that an old person would be asleep at 11 pm but that he doesnât understand the idea of time zones in the first place. Given that there are several quotes trying to rebut that notionâhe is a busy man and doesnât have time to add up the time differences; and âas a former jet-setting global businessman, [Trump] understands how time zones workââclearly this is what is being suggested.
So the important point is not just that Trump is dumb and impulsive (really? who would have guessed?) but that there is a real question of dementia here. TPM would do well not to gloss over that critical fact.
More voters cast ballots in Novemberâs elections than when President Obama won reelection in 2012, though the number of Americans who showed up to vote remains well below all-time highs set half a century ago.
About 139 million Americans, or 60.2 percent of the voting-eligible population, cast a ballot in Novemberâs elections, according to data compiled by the U.S. Elections Project. That compares with 58.6 percent of eligible voters who turned out in 2012, but itâs below the 62.2 percent who turned out to help elect Obama for the first time in 2008.
Since 1964, the U.S. Census Bureau has fielded the Voting and Registration Supplement to the Current Population Survey every two years. Today, the Census Bureau released a series of tabulations and data products alongside a public use data file for the November 2016 presidential election.
In addition to the requirement that individuals be at least 18 years old, voters in national elections must also be U.S. citizens. Although the Census Bureau has collected voting and registration data since 1964, the Current Population Survey has gathered citizenship data since 1978. Figure 1 presents voting rates for the citizen voting-age population for each presidential election since 1980. ***In 2016, 61.4 percent of the citizen voting-age population reported voting, a number not statistically different from the 61.8 percent who reported voting in 2012.***

ââNo, I want to send something now,ââ Trump insisted.
Impulse control issues?
These are very busy people. You donât just call to check in,â the official said.
tRump isnât busy. Heâs the hand that signs the EOs and bills. This is what some Republicans wanted all along- a useful idiot.
âThe underlying premise of protocol is respect for other people,â said Wendy Sherman, a former senior State Department official in the Clinton and Obama administrations. âWhen the President doesnât follow protocol, itâs a sign of disrespect.â
What does the WH say about that?
âThe president doesnât like to be constrained by past practices and protocols,â the official said.
Yeah, fu, this is what I want to do- basic disrespect of others.
And the press didnât start out that way, either. In the (very) old days, political parties and newspapers were âunder common ownershipâ and extremely scurrilous attacks on opponents were common, even in editorials. What we have now is, on the whole, more decorous, but your critique stands.
President Donald Trump reveals his ignorance of diplomacy and foreign policy in a myriad of ways, including trying to call Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe in the middle of the night Japanese time and pronouncing Nepal as ânipple,â according to a Monday Politico report.
Grammatical nit to pick here. Please leave the âaâ out before and âofâ out after using myriad. Common mistake, but one that makes my teeth grind. Kind of like @tiowally is with quash vs. squash.
This has been your hoity-toity grammar nerd post for the day. You may now roll your eyes at me. Again.
The idea that âanybodyâ thinks President XI of China is a âfanâ or even a casual âbuddyâ of Donald J Trump is mind-boggling.
Yet these people who work for him keep saying âgreat rapportâ with foreign leaders. Um, NO.
I gather Turkish hackers took over Peter Alexander and Kristin Welkerâs twitter feeds this weekend to complain about DJTâs âmessingâ with their economy. Turks, get in line, he has put US at least $2T âmoreâ in debt!
âThe President has developed strong relationships and good rapports that are not only friendly, but also allow for candid conversations with many of Americaâs closest allies,â White House press secretary Sarah Sanders told Politico. âHe has even worked the phone with our competitors, injecting stability into bilateral relationships that are undergoing contentious, but necessary readjustments to place American interests first. Foreign leaders appreciate that the President is willing to take their calls day and night.â
And really, itâs not even âUS Goalsâ that rank at the top. He only cares about his own goals. Nothing heâs done could be considered as being effective in furthering our goals, which include, of course, improving our alliances.
Yes and now Iâll also wake up and think what did he do that the press feels comfortable reporting on now? We know he his an idiot doing stupid stuff whatâs the stupid stuff heâs already done that we didnât know about. Oy vey!
