The system itself is structurally antagonistic toward citizen well-being and public interest policy. Congressional legislation will address these only under duress, only where circumstances force this upon it. And legislation will move to rescind any such concession on the parts of the elites the moment circumstances allow.
The Fact that the Dems were given an OVer All Mandate to TOTALLY diss the GOP and did Less Than 0 with that Mandate, tells you everything you need to know. 8D
in virginia we have 3 constitutional amendments on the ballot. the first allows localities rather than the state to set guidelines for property tax exemptions for seniors/disabled, the second allows for property tax exemptions for veterans disabled in the line of duty, the third allows the state to increase the size of its reserve fund.

Exactly wrong.
The 1st creates even more loopholes for the wealthy. The 2nd does the same. The only ones left to pay, especially in VA, would be the disappearing Middle Class.
The 3rd is exactly the wrong thing for VA to do. Pay down it's debt to Zero.
And of course any and ALL can now tell me about that FAMOUS Grassroots Campaign that placed E Voting Machines across the nation, NO Expense spared.
LMFAO
"But if you must vote on a Direct Recording Electronic (DRE, usually touch-screen) system, and have problems in the process, here is...
What to do if it happens to you:
* Call poll supervisors to observe the problem. * Fill out a problem report. * Refuse to vote on that machine. * Request that the machine be taken out of service. * Get a serial number of the machine if possible (may be difficult in many cases). * Tell other voters in line which machine it was and that they should NOT vote on that machine! * Report it to county/town election office. * Report it to the Secretary of State. * Call local reporters and tell them the story. * Call voter problem hotlines (eg. 866-OUR-VOTE) and report it. * Contact bloggers and Election Integrity websites. * Raise holy hell.
REMINDER: Please bring a video camera/cell phone camera when you go to vote so you can document these problems on video tape.
