Brazile to McAuliffe: "Thanks to you, no American will ever be discriminated against at the polls"
Saturday, June 6, 2009
Terry McAuliffe provided invaluable leadership on voting rights in this country. As chair of the Democratic National Committee, Terry McAuliffe made sure that every voter who went to the polls had information on how to navigate the political system. I want to applaud Terry for not only his leadership and enthusiasm but his passion about voting rights. Terry, thanks to you, we have a strong voting rights institute, and thanks to you, no American will ever be discriminated against at the polls.
The purpose of Blue Virginia is to cover Virginia politics from a progressive and Democratic perspective. This is a group blog, founded by me (Lowell Feld), but now including several other progressive writers. I can't speak for the other "front pagers," but I consider myself a progressive in the tradition of Teddy Roosevelt, Franklin Roosevelt, JFK, RFK and actually a bunch of progressive Republicans (e.g., Jacob Javits, Lowell Weicker). As such, I believe in expanding opportunities to all, utilizing government as a tool to promote the general welfare and the common good, protecting the environment for ourselves and for future generations, and expanding the rights promised in our Constitution and Bill of Rights to all Americans.
I invite everyone to comment here, but please be aware that profanity, personal attacks, bigotry, and "trolling" are not allowed. Thanks, and enjoy!
