1. God damn right. Look, either you want everybody to vote as easily as possible

or you are an enemy of this nation.

An actual enemy.

[William769]

4. Agreed.

[randys1]

9. No shit, right? How does righty justify laws that make it harder for americans to vote?

They need to stop calling themselves Americans, patriots or whatever.

The MAIN reason we FIGHT WARS, or the reason we tell ourselves anyway, is for DEMOCRACY

ONE person ONE vote

12. They want to suppress the vote because they know they won't have the votes.

They would be happy with the pre civil war era voting which would also include women!

What a bunch of jackasses.

2. Good ideas. The GOPers will never go for this, of course, but

that's not the point. These are good ideas to campaign on. Show what the GOPers really stand for: restricted voting rights to ensure that minorities and students can't vote. One difficulty I see is that voting procedures have always been left to individual states, and it might be very difficult to enact federal requirements. But as a campaign issue I like it very much. I'd like to see all the Dem candidates come up with similar ideas.

6. Defining the message and making them play defense instead of offense.

[randys1]

11. Just look at O'Malley, Bernie, Hillary, etc., compare them to the clown car

One side are mature adults and the other are brain dead children.

26. It's smart because people do need to check their registrations and learn about the hurdles...

Enacted to dissuade them. People need to stick up for their rights and fight this. Knowledge is power.

[shenmue]

3. Yes

[Gothmog]

5. This was a great speech

[William769]

18. Transcript right here. Haven't found the video yet in postable form:

http://www.hillarymojo.com/2015/06/04/watch-hillary-clintons-voting-rights-event/

Only a clip, but take a look! WOW!

All these vendors are attempting to sell every single speech. You can't pay, you can't see the nation's business taking place. Have not found the full video yet, but this clip is ahint of how HRC is going to chew the GOP up and spit them out...

[William769]

19. Thanks freshwest.

23. DAYUM!!!!!!! She hit that outta the park!!! nt

8. Our right to vote.

Gives us the ability to seek change.

I love that Hillary wants to fix what is wrong with our ease of access to vote. We fought damn hard over the years for our Constitutional right to vote.

Thank you Hillary Clinton!

William~

[William769]

10. Agreed!

You know that I am retired from the State Dept. of Corrections. I even want to go as far as to automatically restoring all civil rights at the end of a sentence.

[sheshe2]

13. I do know that William.

I also agree with the rest of you sentiments.

[brer cat]

14. It is as important

as Citizens United. All of the dem candidates should be on board.

K&R

[hrmjustin]

15. K&R!

[Iliyah]

16. GOPers ae so afraid that some are suggesting rolling back a women's

right to vote.

[William769]

17. They would love to see "barefoot & pregnant" again.

How any woman could vote republican just boggles the mind.

[Thinkingabout]

20. I wish I could say you are wrong but I have to agree with you. Women fought hard for the right

To vote, blacks had to fight harder, we can not allow the fights to be in vain, we should vote in every election just to prove we will not give up this right.

[KMOD]

21. K&R

22. Voting Rights will be a major issue in 2016

I am really happy that HRC addressed this issue in such a direct manner

[HassleCat]

24. Nice. Very nice.

I'm a Sanders supporter, but I had to come over here to say, "Nice job, Hillary Clinton!" She really crushed it with her speech on voting rights, and the various Republicans who support voter ID laws are huffing and puffing with fake outrage. I love it!

[hrmjustin]

25. kicking.

[Gothmog]

27. I have been volunteering in this area for a while

Voting rights is a very important issue to me and I am so glad that HRC is pushing the GOP candidates on this issue
