The Ever-Evolving GOP Arsenal
How Republicans Use Pot Law Enforcement To Disenfranchise African-Americans
There are many tactics in the ever-evolving Republican Party arsenal for keeping African-Americans and other minorities from voting in a post Jim Crow era. One of the least understood and most effective way of taking blacks off the voting rolls, especially in the South, has been to prevent felons from voting and then arresting every black man in site on marijuana charges.

Reaching out to young people
A bill filed in the North Carolina General Assembly this week would remove the state income tax deduction for dependents who register at an address other than their parents. In other words, parents of college kids would be punished with a new tax if their kids registered to vote at school – thus pressuring the kids not to register to vote.

Reaching out to women
•Education troubles began when mothers started working.
•"Liberalized policies" encourage military sexual assault.
•"It's not sexist" for men to be dominant over women, "it's science.
•Hormones found in nature" drive men to sexual assault.
All of it came out of the mouths of prominent Republicans. In the last week.

Florida's Bill Nelson - Let The Poor Starve
28 Senate Democrats voted with the Republicans
Our own Bill Nelson was one of them.
Kirsten Gillibrand a Dem. from NY proposed to restore the $4 billion that the current farm bill--designed by Debbie Stabenow (D-MI) and Thad Cochran (R-MS)--cuts from SNAP (Supplemental Food Assistance, known as food stamps and to offset this restored funding with a limitation on crop insurance reimbursements. Our current crop insurance subsidies benefit large farms at the expense of smaller ones and are one of the many glaring manifestations of corporate welfare that Congress never fixes. Gillibrand's amendment would, in essence, cut corporate welfare spending to restore social welfare spending.......more
