ARE THE KOCH BROTHERS DENYING YOUR RIGHT TO VOTE? 8NOV11

THE koch brothers continue their assault on American civil liberties with the intent of destroying our Republic and creating a Third World plutocracy. This from Brave New Foundation on voter restrictions and the petition drive calling on Attorney General Eric Holder to invoke the 1965 Voting Rights Act and stop these new restrictions on voting. Of special note, the citizens of Maine rejected the state government's repeal of election day voter registration and restored that right on 8NOV11. WAY TO GO MAINE VOTERS!!!!

Dear Craig,
For the past 8 months we have been investigating the billionaire Koch brothers and presenting the results of their political influence to you. With this latest installment, we have discovered what we think is their worst offense yet. Through their web of financial influence, Charles and David Koch are buying access to democracy's lifeblood: free and fair elections. They are literally trying to take away your right to vote!
We are partnering with about one dozen organizations and launching a campaign to demand Attorney General Eric Holder enforce the landmark Voting Rights Act and stop discriminatory voter suppression laws.
With a stroke of his pen, Attorney General Holder can stop the Kochs and these Jim Crow laws, which are denying voting rights for disabled individuals, students, seniors and people of color. Under a provision in the 1965 Voting Rights Act, Holder can deny states like Florida, South Carolina and others from imposing new voter restrictions.
Your contribution allowed us to produce this video. Thank you for helping to inspire people to stand up for democracy. Demand the Department of Justice live up to its name and enforce the law.
They've got the heart of American democracy in their sights. Let's defeat the Kochs and defend the democratic process.
Thank you for making this possible,
Robert Greenwald
and the Brave New Foundation team
