WHERE’S YOUR CONSCIENCE

Looks like the “let’s make crazy laws so voting is more difficult for students” bug is spreading around the country.  The latest outbreak is in North Carolina, where a state senate bill would keep parents from claiming their college students as a dependent if the student registers to vote any place other than their parent’s address.  In Ohio, state representatives recently tried to discourage colleges from providing out-of-state students with voter ID documents. Fortunately  other elected like Governor O’Malley in Maryland are expanding voter access by extending early voting periods, allowing online voter registration, and more. When will the voter suppression tactics stop? LIKE and REBLOG to spread the word and COMMENT to share your opinion.

Young Americans have invested in their education over housing and car purchases, which according to the Atlantic, could work as a “reverse-stimulus” in the long-term by adding more skilled workers to our labor force. Do you agree with this article? LIKE if you think college is a good investment, REBLOG if you’re troubled by the lack in home and auto purchasing.

86% of Americans polled on Tuesday supported the Senate background checks proposal, and yet fear of the gun lobby led many Senators to vote against the proposal. This is one egregious example of where the power of the minority trumped the will of the majority. Please LIKE and REBLOG this image if you are appalled by the actions of the Senate. And COMMENT if you think we need campaign finance reform as a result of this.
