THE VOTING ACT OF 1`965

The voting act states  ..."...he Act prohibits states from imposing any "voting qualification or prerequisite to voting, or standard, practice, or procedure ... to deny or abridge the right of any citizen of the United States to vote on account of race or color."[3] Specifically, Congress intended the Act to outlaw the practice of requiring otherwise qualified voters to pass literacy tests in order to register to vote, a principal means by which Southern states had prevented African Americans from exercising the franchise.[2Read the Act by clicking here.

It seems that I am less apt than most of my friends to always imagine the worst possible scenario in my future.    I truly believe that the Obama camp is like a good jockey who holds back, maintaining stamina and pace, until nearing the end and then puts on a burst of speed.  Having listened to Romney, I look forward to people being able to compare the two men together.  There is no doubt in mind which is the most knowledgeable and articulate of the two.

Joe Biden may be seen as a loose cannon by some but he has truth and facts on his side, a significant lack in Paul Ryan.  Debating when all subjects about yourself are off the table must, indeed, be very difficult.  A few decades ago, in Boston, there was a theater called the Laff Movie and showed comedies all day long without sweeping out any of the fools (like me) who would stay for hours and see one after another all day for the single admission price.  It can't compare with the RNC Extravaganza coming up.  I will be glued to the 'fair and balanced'  media showing it all to us.
