NLS: "Harrisonburg Is Voter Fraud Capital of Virginia"

Is there some way . . . (0.00 / 0)

Is there some way the entire NLS article can go on DailyKos without violating all the fair use and copyright rules?

Just wondering.

This WHOLE story needs the widest possible circulation.

Only if Ben cross posts it there. (0.00 / 0)

If not, anyone can post an article, quoting "fair use" amounts from Ben's article, and linking to the original. Just like I did here, in other words...and maybe I will at DKos as well, come to think of it. :)

As I said numerous times (0.00 / 0)

Get the colleges involved!   All parents should write to the administrations of these colleges if their kids are enrolled to demand that the university and community college which allowed these registration activities on their campus protect the rights of their students!   There should be a mass email to all students to ck their registration and if there is an issue to notify the college.   I know I will be doing just that

Colleges.... (0.00 / 0)

Don't assume that the colleges are on the side of the students. The colleges as an entity might be. But, college administrations are still made up of individual actors with their own political agendas and opinions of town v. gown when it comes to whether students ought to be allowed to vote in their college town.

During my time at JMU in the early part of the 2000s we had a pretty big issue when the executive assistant to the JMU President "forgot" to drop off voter registration and/or absentee ballot forms at the post office.

Colin Small is very, very pro-life (0.00 / 0)

Here's an update and some context on Colin Small, the young man who was in Harrisonburg, VA last week for destroying voter registrations.

This is a young man who is very, very pro-life. Pro-life enough to jettison the delicate God/Caesar balance in a dumpster along with eight voter registrations? Read on, my friends, and let's see where we end up.

Colin Small has a degree in politics from  Catholic University of America. In addition, he received the Edumund Burke Fellowship from Catholic Family and Human Rights Institute to participate in the UN's General Assembly on Youth in July 2011. The vision of C-FAM is:

The preservation of international law by discrediting socially radical policies at the United Nations and other international institutions. http://www.c-fam.org

This is an organization that is not coy about its interests. The website's home page features an article about "sneaking abortion into Ireland via new regulations" as well as another entitled "Gay Myths Exposed." Mr. Small is quoted on the site, discussing his fellowship:

"The Edmund Burke Fellowship was an amazing opportunity for me to work with like-minded youth to promote a culture of life at the UN.  While the UN officials attempted to push an outdated and increasingly out-of-touch agenda of contraception, sexual license and abortion, they were met by a crowd of young people with the words of Humanae Vitae and Caritas in Veritate on their tongues and hope for the authentic development of every person in their hearts.  On top of having the satisfaction of working for life and family at the UN, I also made a bunch of great new friends.  I would strongly encourage anybody considering applying to the Fellowship to do so, it's an experience you won't forget."

Just in case you don't have the idea yet, here's another student from the same group:

Attending the UN meeting as Edmund Burke Fellows made us very aware that we had enemies-- all those promoting the culture of death. Yet, through the Fellowship those battling for life, justice, and truth were united and empowered. Having the opportunity to engage so directly in the culture war was an experience that left us awakened and invisibly armed to recognize and respond to the surrounding battle.

I don't know about you, but if this case is ever seriously investigated, I hope Mr. Small will be carefully questioned about his religious decisions, and I hope witnesses will be asked if the subject of pro-life/pro-choice came up in any discussion of political views.
