To elect Democrats, we must elect Secretaries of State who believe in voting 19OKT14


STATE offices, local politics are how the tea-baggers have taken control of many state governments and imposed many laws that restrict the voting rights of many of very people they are supposed to be serving and is how the gop / tea-bagger obstructionist have become so powerful in congress. Finally the Democrats are rising at the local and state level to challenge the tea-baggers and the gop, here are 5 endorsed by +Daily Kos who are running for Secretary of State in key swing states. Their election to office will be a huge victory because they are committed to restoring and protecting the voting rights of all the citizens of their states. Check them out and donate a buck to each of their campaigns if you can. AND remember to vote on 4 NOV 14 because Democracy is not a spectator sport.....

With Election Day just 16 days away, Republicans are suppressing the vote in state after state—desperately trying to stop Democratic voters from exercising their right.

Will you chip in $1 to each of these five Democrats running for Secretary of State?

Tea Party Republicans are trying to rig our elections—gerrymandering, Citizens United, cutting early voting hours, passing restrictive voter ID laws and more. They also have taken over Secretary of State offices in swing states, with results like Katherine Harris in Florida and Ken Blackwell in Ohio.

If we are going to win elections, we have to elect good people to run our elections.

Daily Kos has endorsed five Secretary of State candidates running in five crucial states:
  • Jean Schodorf in Kansas
  • Brad Anderson in Iowa
  • Joe Neguse in Colorado
  • Kate Marshall in Nevada
  • Nina Turner in Ohio
They all have an excellent chance of winning, and they all need the final help to turn out the vote and restore integrity to our election process.

Please chip in $5 to help these five excellent Democrats restore the elections process in their state.

Keep fighting,
Paul Hogarth, Daily Kos

P.S. Please help keep Daily Kos strong by chipping in $3.

Hi, this is Kentucky Attorney General Jack Conway. I wanted to make sure you heard about an important issue.
The same Wall Street banks whose irresponsible actions led to our nation's economic collapse are now pressuring all 50 states to give them legal immunity. The banks want to block any criminal or civil accountability for actions that have yet to be investigated.
Attorneys General from Delaware, Minnesota, Nevada and New York have been fighting back. Today, I want to make a clear statement in support of Wall Street accountability and against immunity for banks -- and I ask you to join me on this statement:
"Today's economic crisis was caused by Wall Street acting improperly. Every American has paid the price -- with families losing their homes, investors losing their money, and many Americans losing their jobs. There should be absolutely no criminal or civil immunity given to banks for activity that has not yet been investigated." 
Frankly, all elected leaders owe it to their constituents to take this position. If we speak up together, more and more of them will. Sign here.
Today, by adding my voice to this issue, along with the Progressive Change Campaign Committee, we are adding momentum to the fight for Wall Street accountability.
These next couple weeks are critical. Key meetings and discussions will determine if Wall Street banks get immunity -- regardless of what they may or may not have done.
Together, we can hold Wall Street accountable to Main Street. Thanks for being a bold progressive.
-- Kentucky Attorney General Jack Conway
