The Michigan Messenger: Community protest at McCain regional headquarters

    It doesn't really matter whether they retract their statement or not...this is exactly the kind of thing that we see every election year, and I don't believe for a second that they aren't planning this. Kudos to Jobs for Justice and ACORN.
    You can also send an email to the Secretary of State demanding that she intervene and stop this voter suppression here:

    McCain/Palin '08 : For The People

    Yeah right. Can't you still live in a foreclosed home? In fact, I believe most people who go into foreclosure and refinance never leave their homes. So if you are living in the district you are registered in, why can't you vote? The government still send your mail to that address, right?

    Ironic, the use of a peace symbol for an avatar...

    Anyhow, please read our article, Lose your home, lose your vote, which explains the problem in greater detail. Based on your comment it appears you do not understand the problem with using foreclosure lists to identify voters to contest at the polls.

    I am confused by your reply, and think you misunderstood my post.

    My "McCain/Palin '08 : For the People" was meant to be sarcastic. Obviously, if they are trying to take voting rights away from people, they are not very "for the people". I know that the predatory lenders targeted minorities, I also know that minorities tend to vote Democrat. Like I said above, the government sends your mail to that address, so that would mean that the address in question is where you reside, according to the government, correct? So if you reside at that address, and that's the address on your voter registration card, then that would mean you should be able to vote in that district, in my opinion anyway. Just because your home is in foreclosure in no way means you do not live at the address, so being on a foreclosure list should in no way disqualify you from voting.

    They were at the right place.

    David Trott, republican stalwart, is owner of the largest foreclosure business in the US. He rents (gives ?) space to the party for McCain headquarters and also owns American Processing Company llc www.apcdefault.com . APC may be providing the lists Carabelli is refering to

    These are all multi million dollar concerns from the foreclosure business,.
