The answer to this question could very well be "Yes!" Does that bother you? If so, how much?
We as citizen believe that democracy does not all inclusively mean "to vote". Voting is but the first small step of citizenship in our democracy. But it is a most important step. If you are not registered, and qualified to vote in the next upcoming election, democracy could be lost in America. Do you realize that? Does it bother you? If so, how much? If not, why not?
Join us as we examine this issue from the court house to the White House, including a flurry of voting rights cases making their way from states like Wisconsin, Michigan, Texas, Florida and 27 other states to our Supreme Court, in 2018.
It is a really big deal, and voters being arbitrarily "purged" from voter rolls for various and sundry reasons is a current event, not a historical romp through the Civil Rights Act of 1964 nor the Voting Rights Act of 1965. It was a huge deal in the mid 1700s when our founders were trying to figure out what a democracy, a Republic, much less a democratic republic would look like. It has remained a huge deal ever since.
Even those basic rights of citizen to vote are currently under extreme attack. Citizen is allowing it. That is not only wrongheaded thinking. It is the basis for the destruction of our democracy.
Join us as we begin to tackle this most important citizen issue.
We're on the air! We'll see YOU there!
For the entire team,
The Tennessee Progressive
