re: The registration project---in Hammond today

I just love the high and mightiness of Republican folks here pretending they would seek out black people if they were registration volunteers.

They were in a public location, actively avoiding white people.

I'd never bother being a part of a registration drive as I believe that if one can't expend the minimum effort that's required to register then they are not likely to make an informed decision at the polls regardless of party. In fact I'm equally disgusted by those who state that they're voting for republicans because either everyone in their family does or it's a racially based vote as I am with those who vote for dems for the same reasons.

I'm sorry that you're supportive of discrimination so long as it supports your team.

Now why would someone working to "mobilize" certain races of people be granted non-profit 501(c)(3) status?

You answered your own question:

The organization’s mission is to conduct non-partisan voter registration and mobilization to under-represented ethnic and socio-economic groups in the United States, including African-American, Latino, Native American and low-income voters.

As long as they don't use funds to support a candidate or party, they meet IRS requirements for 501(c)(3) charitable organizations. If you want to target a certain demographic at race tracks, more power to you. Given that less than 15% of eligible voters participate in elections, I am all for efforts to bring more people into the political process IF they do what is necessary to become informed voters.

Or maybe even douse yourself in gasoline and set yourself on fire in front of "Registration Project" headquarters. THis is clearly a dire situation.

Tuba, you really need to tone down the personal attacks. You often make good points from the libersl perspective (in very short supply on this board) but they quickly get lost in the condescending comments...take the high road.

Yep. Her ground game is stretching it's legs.

I don't know why she is bothering, from what I can tell she is running unoppossed.
