St. Louis Coallition Worried About Long Lines

Submitted by beatriz on 11/02/08 7:22am
http://www.columbiatribune.com A coalition of labor, civil rights and religious leaders said it will place volunteers at 200 St. Louis-area polling places to ensure a smooth Election Day.  Long lines and huge voter turnout are expected this Tuesday and many worry about the problems that may arise.
"The St. Louis Voter Protection Coalition, which describes itself as nonpartisan, held a panel discussion yesterday at the NAACP office in St. Louis. Participants included members of the NAACP, labor groups such as the A. Philip Randolph Institute and the Coalition of Black Trade Unionists, and the Advancement Project. They tried to clear up a few common misconceptions about voting in Missouri, saying any one of several forms of identification is acceptable at the polls, from a driver’s license to a government ID card to a current utility bill. They also advised Missourians not to wear campaign T-shirts, pins or hats at their polling place, saying that could be interpreted as electioneering. It’s possible voters will be asked to take off pins supporting their favored candidate or go to a restroom to turn a campaign shirt inside out to vote, they said."

Hello..i have a 7 yr old male tabby,he is a indoor cat and has been all of his life. He has always been healthy, good appetite..over the past month, we have noticed his coat was looking raggedy,he was loosing weight, and wasn't drinking much water.Now, over the past few days, he eats or drinks nothing,hides and never comes out,and walks with the hind legs wobbly. When he is picked up, he meows like he is in pain, like the hip is bothering him. He is very weak now, takes a few steps, wobbles, then lays down. He has been tested for Feline leukemia and tested negative. I have taken him to two vets over the past 4 days, they gave him a IV because he was severly dehydrated, and antibiotic ( for what I don't know) and we were sent home. I don't know what to do, I hate to see my cat, who is my best little friend, suffer. Any help would be appreciated.

one of the ponies at our barn, Bomar, is leaving! he was going to one more show this week, but our little friend jacque doesn't want to show him by herself because then she'd have to do all the work. so i'm not sure if he is showing, but he will leave after the show or in a couple days. i used to ride this pony when i was at another barn. i'll miss him soooo much! i got to ride bomar yesterday and he was really good! i will post my bomar parkside pix soon.

Am confident that subliminal message implanted into infomercial will take root in minds of American people, suppressing latent racism with need to vote for candidate with funniest name

Dear Diary,

Tied to another radical? Note to self: must refrain from speaking to professors in future as is apparently very dangerous, subversive profession.

In other news, half hour infomercial at least partial success. John didn’t approve, of course (though SNL infomercial sketch actually rather amusing), but is well-documented fact that infomercials have power to make people buy anything. In fact, inspiration for political infomercial came from that one time I bought pair of clip-on shoe spikes under belief that they would aerate lawn as I walked and consequently make wife fall in love all over again. (Did not work, unfortunately. Due to paranoia over assassination plots, Michelle thought spikes were weapons and threw them out.) Anyway, am confident that subliminal message implanted into infomercial will take root in minds of American people, suppressing latent racism with need to vote for candidate with funniest name.

Spent two hours this afternoon playing with model of electoral map. Started coloring in states to spell out initials (only first and last initials, of course), but Michelle took away map and said I needed to â??Get back to campaigningâ??donâ??t you realize you have only three days left?!â? No fun at all.

Anyway, got to check polls and electoral predictions before map was confiscated. Result: still ahead!

Hopefully yours,

Barack
