The Problem: Private investigators associated with GOP lawyers have been showing up at the doors of poor and Latino voters asking them intimidating questions and insinuating that they don't have the right to vote.
Who is Affected: New Mexican voters in good standing who have every right to go vote on Election Day, but who may not show up at the polls if they have been frightened in their own homes.
The Solution:
1. E-mail Attorney General Mukasey -- the Department of Justice is charged with stopping voter suppression and protecting every American's right to vote. A spokesman for the DOJ's civil rights division has said that they are "looking into" this problem, but that's not good enough. We need a serious investigation worthy of these insidious tactics.
2. Pass this message to every voter you know -- with only days left till the election, we need to make sure that as many New Mexico voters as possible are educated about this problem so that if intimidators show up at any home, they'll know the right thing to do: Shut the doors in their faces.
3. Click here to send an email to the Department of Justice.
I just took action on this crucial issue -- I hope that you will too.
