When Monica Goodling testified last week, she revealed something that hasn't gotten much attention but should. She admitted that Rove's #1 man, Tim Griffin, was engaged in vote caging in the 2004 election.
Vote caging has been illegal since 1986, when the Republicans were caught in the act. They tried to have 31,000 voters, most of them black, taken from the rolls
in Louisana. Vote caging consists of a variety of methods of ensuring that large numbers of citizens can't vote.
One of the methods the Republicans have used is to send out mass mailers of registered mail to minority neighborhoods, poor areas, or to black members of
the military. When these persons go to vote, they are challenged. It is up to them, sometimes at considerable expense, to prove they qualify to vote. Some are given a
provisional ballot which are usually not counted. The provisional voes in Florida 6 years ago still haven't been counted. Absentee ballots submitted by the military are also challenged.

Yes, I heard about it by listening to Air America Radio, the Randi Rhodes show specifically. Yes I am concerned about it. It only stands as another monument to the evil of this administration. Notice that the mainstream Republican owned "press" won't touch this story, it is too busy deliberately distracting citizens with even more crap about Paris Hilton et al. The Republican owned "press" breathlessly reported every little lie against elected President Bill Clinton but hasn't the time to cover the murder of our democracy. Fine. They need to have all of their broadcasting licenses revoked.

In the 2000 election 5 months prior to elections Jeb Bush and katherine harris- secretary of state in florida requested 57,000
peoples names removed from voting roles.(they were supposed to be felons) they hired a company located in texas 'choicepoint' to provide a list to the department of elections in florida.
it was found that 97% of the 57,000 people were innocent and more than 50% of those people were minority. (with no record)

this is happening -people know it happens and they dont care... if you bring it up they say you are living in the past.
but i can tell you i will personally be active in the next election
and will be reporting any abuse

If you are going to make accusations like this at least have the decency of quoting a source so we can check it out for ourselves.
