This article brought tears to my eyes
Human beings using others to get or keep power. And the saddest of all, they didn't get to vote.

2. The humiliation
Edited on Thu Nov-09-06 02:19 PM by lizziegrace
of being put on a bus, then further angered and humiliated because they're distributing flyers that are lies...and they can't get home. Trapped, simply because they have no home and no means. We're the richest country in the world and we can't take care of basic needs.

I don't know why this has hit me so hard.

3. This was the only "dirty tricks" story from Tues. that really pissed me off.
The robocalls, they were bad, but I figured we could get the word out and maybe even leverage a backlash to our advantage.

Using homeless guys to try to screw over other voters? Disgusting.
