Texas Dem students defy Republican Dirty Tricks Gerrymandering - Suck It Repugs

[Bill]

So, naturally, republicans being devoted to dirty tricks, and with whathisname, DeLay, working the black bag tactics, it turns out that one Texas county was only allowing voting at the county seat, miles away from where the dems in the county lived.

Well, a passle of the good kind of Texans said "Screw that shit", and turned it into a protest, by taking over a highway and walking en masse to the county seat to vote.

Thereby kicking republican asses. I hear much to the republicans dismay, their trickery motivated the dems in the county, and they numerically outvoted the dirtytricksters by 3 to 1. Congratulations to the students!

It's about fucking time. People need to stop electing officials that hate this country and take it back.

That is really good news.

Three Cheers for these upstanding, motivated people.

Voting matters.

Political power matters.

We can not & should not take it for granted. Our species & planet DO hang in the balance.
