Great story. I hope there are a lot more like her out there. I went to an Obama meeting tonight and it was great. No vote will be left out there. If someone needs a ride to the polls they’ll get one.

Praise God, My sister lives in that neighborhood. I am so happy the this woman lived to see this moment. Hopefully, this will spawn many more achievements from our brothers and sisters in the struggle.

Have we cross-checked COINTELPRO’s ACORN database? Is she an agent?

Seriously though, awesome story.

WTF kept her?
I remember when my dad used to help getting people to the polling station. I heard one 80 year old woman saying how she always voted because she could remember when she wasn’t allowed to. (This was 20 years ago).

When moms first saw the light of day, W.E.B. DuBois was forecasting that the problem of the 20th century would be that of the color line.

A century later, and Governor Sarah Palin demonstrates it is still divisive.
