| "I know everyone’s paying attention, I know the Obama campaign is ready to act on this. But I realized that there are two important federal laws, the Voting Rights Act, passed in the 60s, and Voter Registration Act passed in the 90s, that have criminal and civil penalties for people who try to intimidate a voter. And I wanted to make sure that the Justice Department is moving on these cases. So I did hear from them today, and although they can’t confirm or deny any particular case because I wrote about Ohio, they did say that

Wow. Call the FBI office?? This just takes my breath away. I guess this old hag must have missed the real intimidation by the Black Panthers and whose charges were dismissed by Holder. s/o Seeing the continued lies and extremely vile behavior from Democrats is so outrageous it is really not good for my blood pressure.

She's not crazy just brazen.
It's a setup to overwhelm the authorities with false reports of 'intimidation' so if the vote is close the Dems can cry foul.
Think of Florida 2000, but much worse.

So the black panthers can stand outside holding a tire iron and intimidate voters without it being a problem but let someone think you should ID yourself and you should be locked up. boxer is such a tool. We all know the reasons why you need a photo ID and I will not list them again. Am I to assume that the black community never deals with any of these companies that require ID?

She has mentioned two people who received letters that told them there was a problem with their addresses. She does not say who sent them these letters. If such letters exist and they are mistaken about the address being wrong I am sure the letters came from the Voting Supervisor's office and the matter will be corrected.
Note that she addresses her warning to the Tea Party but does not claim the letters came from a Tea Party.

Lord Bell said: "It is with great sadness that Mark and Carol Thatcher announced that their mother Baroness Thatcher died peacefully following a stroke this morning." Baroness Thatcher was Conservative prime minister from 1979 to 1990. She was the first woman to hold the post. Her family is expected to make a further statement later. Baroness Thatcher, born Margaret Roberts, became the Conservative MP for Finchley, north London in 1959, retiring from the Commons in 1992. Having been education secretary, she successfully challenged former prime minister Edward Heath for her party´s leadership in 1975.

One of the first political issues negotiators must tackle in crafting an immigration reform bill is among the most important: what to name it. It’s a decision that will bruise egos, create legacies and deeply affect subsequent messaging battles. “Every time the bill is mentioned in the press, you either have a brand that´s positive or a brand that doesn´t mean anything or even hurts you,” said Frank Sharry, the executive director of the pro-immigration reform group America’s Voice.

Recent research indicates that the number of people who do not consider themselves a part of an organized religion is steadily on the rise. Interestingly enough, though the number of those religiously unaffiliated is increasing, there is little to no trend in the number of those who express atheist or agnostic beliefs. People aren’t saying they don’t believe in God. They’re saying they don’t believe in religion. They are not rejecting Christ. They are rejecting the church. This begs the question, “Why are we losing our religion?”

Obama´s gun control proposals have run into resistance on Capitol Hill, leaving their fate in doubt.

Beginning a week of high pressure on gun control, the White House on Monday accused some Republican senators of cowardice for planning to filibuster gun legislation without allowing the full Senate to vote on President Obama’s initiatives. “If they oppose this legislation, have the courage to say so on the floor and vote no,” said White House press secretary Jay Carney. “Don’t block it. Don’t hide behind a procedural action to prevent a vote. That’s the wrong thing to do, and that’s how the president clearly feels.”
