The right to vote is the most important part of being a citizen of the United States and it is being attacked by Republicans who would prefer that people that tend to vote for Liberals and Progressives.
I think that there is a solution for this.
If your state has made almost impossible for you to vote early or has only one day to vote then we need to cripple the economy in that state. Tell your employer that you will be into work after you have voted and if there are enough of you out there that have to stand in line for hours at a time to vote then you will have made the statement that needed to be made.
Some of the states in question are:
Arizona
Florida
Kansas
North Carolina
Ohio
Wisconsin
that seems to be the main interest of our current politicians. money. one way to get their attention is to have business people make your point. if a lot of people take election day off to vote and business is hurt you will see some action against voter suppression. a lot of corporations have changed policies 180 degrees in a matter of days when money is at stake. possibly the threat of this idea will get things rolling. how would a nationwide action be received by the business community? 2016 vote out. tell your boss i'll be back after I vote but it might take a while. we can even have a practice run 2014.
