What can we do to bring attention to the Republican voter supression?
I'm watching CNN and they keep on going on and on about Acorn and then the next thing they bring up is how the Dems have registered all of these new voters.

We even had the Repubs in Naples Florida (which is a usually rock solid Republican area) sending out caging letters.

Article in our normally Repub. newspaper: Are Republicans trying to disqualify Democrats?

http://www.naplesnews.com/news/2008/sep/20/caging-letter-are-republicans-trying-disqualify-co/

The McCain campaign was sending out letters to reigistered Dems claiming that they were registered as Republicans. The envelopes had a "do not forward" notation on them - so if they got returned - the voter would be purged. Down here that's a big deal because there's a huge chunk of the population that lives up North in the summertime and comes down in the fall/winter.

They are pulling this in all of the swing states.

Do we need to have some protests - how do we get this word out? Letters to the editors would help a little....

any ideas?
