Protest Atempted Gag on Voter Registration

Comments 0 Comment

House Attempt to Suppress Voter Registration Efforts – action.pfaw.org Some in Congress are actively working to discourage voter registration drives. Protest the inclusion of an anti-advocacy provision in H.R. 1461 (the Federal Housing Finance Reform Act of 2005), which would disqualify non-profit organizations from receiving grants if they engage in lobbying or non-partisan election activities – including voter registration drives – even with their own funds.

Report: Texas Overpaid Miers in Land Sale – for part of a superfund pollutions cleanup site (that’s when it’s really really a bad piece of land), no less. Texas officials paid Supreme Court nominee Harriet Miers’ family more than $100,000 for a small piece of land in 2000 — 10 times the land’s worth — despite the state’s objections to the way the price was determined.” Nice to have insider knowledge that can’t be revealed. All kinds of good stuff…
