Send A Student To Minnesota, to steal the Senate!

Send A Student To Minnesota! DSA’s national electoral project this year is the Minnesota Senate Election. Together with YDS, DSA’s Youth Section, we are mobilizing to bring young people to Minnesota. Minnesota is one of the few states that allow same day voter registration. We will therefore focus our energy on registering young people. Wellstone will need a high percentage of young people to register and vote for him if he is to stave off the campaign that Bush, the Republicans and the Greens are waging against him. He is the Right’s Number One electoral target.

Because we are focusing on issue-based voter registration, this electoral work can be supported by tax-deductible contributions. The DSA FUND is soliciting tax-deductible contributions to support this project. Contributions are needed to underwrite the costs of transportation as well as providing a stipend for expenses; housing is being donated. You can contribute online with a Master Card or VISA. To contribute, simply choose from one of the amounts listed below. Click on the red dot and you will be taken to a secure server to input your credit card information. Our online order system does not allow us to let you fill in an amount, so if the choices we offer are less than what you want to contribute simply make more than one transaction until you reach the total you want to contribute.

$125 $200 $50 $75 $500

To contribute offline: Make your check payable to DSA FUND, indicate Minnesota Project on the check or in your letter and return it to DSA FUND, 180 Varick St., 12th fl., NY, NY 10014

I first heard about this yesterday or Friday.Very glad to hear that DOJ is on to this.I heard Hewitt ask David Drier to inform somebody on this yesterday. I sure hope DOJ is also keeping an eye on Missouri.

Just emailed this to my Congressional candidate who is good friends with my former Congressman before redistricting, House Ways and Means Committee Chairman, Bill Thomas.

Don't know if he's too busy to see it or do anything about it, however.

[patriciaruth]

Coleman should make Wellstone publicly affirm or repudiate this operation.

MEGABUMP!

Good Lord...this is unbelieveable AND it's tax deductible! The Democrats are such slimeballs. Just when I thought my opinion of them couldn't go any lower, they do something like this. This voter fraud has definitely gotten out of hand.

My brother has always contended that if you took out all the voter fraud, nation wide, GW would have won the popular vote. I wasn't real sure about that but I sure am now.

I HATE THE DEMOCRATS!!

If a student (or onyone for that matter) votes twice in the same election, he needs to go to jail. Same applies to retirees who vote in their homestate and again absentee in another state. Same applies to onyone who registers a dead person and then votes for them. Same applies to anyone who would allow a non-citizen to vote.

Considering how the election laws are broken, and considering how the repubs seem to always turn their head the other way, it makes me wonder why I even vote!

I sure am glad that I don't live in Iraq or Cuba where the votes are rigged to produce a predicted outcome of an election!!!!!!!

Most people don't realize how easy it is to commit voter fraud in Minnesota. Not only is same-day registration possible, the only identification you need is for another registered voter to "vouch" that you are a legal voter at the polling place.

A Democrat organization like the one above could shuttle the same voters around, allowing them to vote several times at several different polling places. All they'd need is a single previously registered voter at each polling station to do the "vouching."

There have been rumors in the past that welfare advocacy groups have pulled this very trick in Saint Paul in previous elections.

"Registering to vote and voting in a state that you are not a resident of is a felony."

Only if you vote Republican. Rats seem to have immunity from prosecution for much of anything.

I love your graphic! Can I borrow it?

[white trash redneck]

This is really a clever ad, since its intent is ambiguous. One could either read it as encouragingout-of-state students to come to MN to register in-state students to vote, or it could be read as encouraging out-of-state students to come to MN to register and vote on election day themselves.

It clearly can be read as an invitation to voter fraud, and I hope the DOJ comes down on these trolls with both feet.

[Basil314]

Their link is now up on Drudge report. Now this scandal will get some attention.

[AlaninSA]

Good Lord, I hope it does get some attention. Wellstone's support has always come from the far left wing -- and those who're too clueless to recognize a communist when they see one.

His supporters are folks like the union employee who wanted to fight with me when I told him that the union and communist movements grew out of the same activists.

[wallcrawlr]

Its getting lots of attention up here.

A certain Senator will be asked about it.

Since this controversy exploded, the DSA changed the text on their web site to make it seem like they said something else. This thread has the real information.

[Mensch]

I just checked the DSA site, by God you're right! I feel a new post coming on.

[SoDak]

Looks like the whole thing is gone now.

[BearCub]

Unbelievable. I just called the Minnesota Secretary of State's office. I told the guy that answered the phone what I was calling about: "The Democratic Socialist Party is recruiting people to come to Minnesota...". He said, "Sir, they aren't coming here to vote. They are coming to recruit people to vote..." He had a far-away, complacent sound to his voice - like a gum-smacking teenage girl at a fast-food counter. He definitely sounded like he supports what they are doing.
