Domestic Politics |

You probably know somebody directly affected by this: |
|
Yesterday, a group of Senate Republicans blocked a common-sense |
|
proposal to help Americans reduce the burden of student loan |
|
debt. |
|
It's depressing -- student loan debt is spiraling out of control |
|
in our country, totaling nearly $1.2 trillion and surpassing |
|
both credit card and auto loan debt in size. |
|
This bill simply would have allowed folks to refinance their |
|
loans at today's rates. |
|
But there are 40 million Americans who need some relief -- add |
|
your name and fight for a fair way to reduce the burden of |
|
student loan debt: |

Re: Domestic Politics Voter SUPPRESSION |

|
Voter suppression is a strategy to influence the outcome of an |
|
election by discouraging or preventing people from exercising |
|
the right to vote. It is distinguished from political |
|
campaigning in that campaigning attempts to change likely voting |
|
behavior by changing the opinions of potential voters through |
|
persuasion and organization. Voter suppression instead attempts |
|
to reduce the number of voters who might vote against the |
|
candidate or proposition advocated by the suppressors. |
|
The tactics of voter suppression can range from minor dirty |
|
tricks that make voting inconvenient, up to blatantly illegal |
|
activities that physically intimidate prospective voters to |
|
prevent them from casting ballots. Voter suppression could be |
|
particularly effective if a significant amount of voters are |
|
intimidated or disenfranchised. |
