Re: CNVN: Voter Registration?

[Wanda Ballentine]

Just want to remind everyone that it will take more than voter registration 
to change the U.S. regime.  The voting machines are run by politicos in 
more states than Florida.  But the real necessity is to EDUCATE the 
American citizenry that they don't get any real information as to what's 
going on in the government from the media until it's too late, if then.  To 
education how this democracy was supposed to work before the robber barons 
of all generations started systematically removing the rights of citizens 
and funneling enormous profits into their pockets so they could continue 
buying influence in Washington, then writing the legislation to save their 
purchased legislators the trouble.

Read Thom Hartmann's "Unequal Protection."  Read Arianna Huffington's "Pigs 
at the Trough."

It seems an easy assumption to believe that people who care enough to
show up at a rally would also care enough to register and vote, but there
may well be people present who have NOT found themselves invested until
now. This might be an opportune time to get them "on board" and help
widen their vision of involvement in peaceful movements as a long-term
goal beyond the events of these weeks.
Additionally, I doubt that it could hurt to be a visible REMINDER to
everyone who IS registered that we WILL have the opportunity to "change
the regime" here each time we head to the polls (Floridians, perhaps,
excluded :).)
Peace,
Paula
