Great letter bump.

Tennessee: you don't have to be crazy to live there, but it helps.

Bump.

Hopefully honest TN folks will create as much public outrage on same day election registration as you guys did on the state income tax issue. Perhaps TN Freepers ought send this article to Nashville talk show host Phil Valentine. If the insane bill passes, could it be repealed through a voter referendum like the lottery? Same day voter registration was soundly defeated last year by the voters in liberal CA. Thus, opposition to same day voter registration is a position that is maintstream, and not racist.

MN has same day voter registration for many years. Below is a link to an article that shows the loopholes that the 'RATS will use to steal elections.

and.......they should have to physically show up, no more absentees. Count the military on the spot, and send them in as a whole.

I sent it to Phil yesterday and his show was all about it. This morning Steve Gill (morning conservative talk show host) is ranting about it. Word is getting out.

sounds like algore stuff to me.......lie, cheat and steal

With electronic data transfer, there is no reason that the military could not have their own voting booths with the results being sent back to the individual members' home states as soon as the election is over. (It may not be practical for every local election but there is no reason that it can't be done for national elections.)

Mike Turner's response to my protest of his bill:

THE BILL AS FILED IS NOT THE BILL WE SHALL END UP WITH, WE ARE STILL
DRAFTING THE LANGUAGE FOR IT AND WILL AMEND IT IN THE COMMITTEE. OUR
INTENTION IS TO ENCOURAGE AN INCREASE VOTER PARTICIPATION THE BILL WILL ALSO
HAVE EXTREME PENALTIES FOR VOTER FRAUD, SORRY FOR THE CONFUSION BUT WITH THE
BILL FILING DEADLINE WE HAD TO GET SOMETHING IN THE SYSTEM. THANKS FOR THE
E-MAIL, MIKE.

I-emailed this to Phil Valentine. If you want to read my original letter to Mike, it's post #20 above: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/845165/posts/#20

Voter fraud laws are a joke and Turner knows it. Ask Mike Turner when the last time ANYONE in Tennessee was prosecuted for voter fraud.

The DL bill for illegal aliens was passed with ways to increase voter fraud in mind.

I expected to read that the legislator who introduced this was a member of the Ford family, and resided in Memphis.
