AnotherVoice

Waxahachie, Texas, March 29, 2005 -- Believing what I was raised to hold sacred, that every voice counts, I've bombarded my local paper for years with letters and op-eds (and been active in politics). Yet here in the heart of everyone's favorite "red state," where it's especially important that another voice be heard, no one seemed to be listening. This is my megaphone.

Well, maybe they got it fixed.

Well, once again sanity SEEMS to have prevailed, with a critical change made to the Oxley amendment described here yesterday. Seems that once its proponents sensed defeat they came back later in the day and agreed that non-profit recipients could engage in "voter registration or get-out-the-vote activity conducted on a non-partisan basis."

Find out all you want to know about this beginning at this website; for those who keep track of such, the legislation I'm talking about is H.R. 1461.

This may not be the end of the story, for it's clear there are some Republicans who very much want to limit voting by poor folks.

How do we keep track of it all?!
