  I'm really glad you cite Edwards for a good and thorough platform on economic justice. He supports and has consistently pushed the other candidates on fair trade, raising the minimum wage to $9.50, and protecting workers' right to form a union. Those who believe in these goals but are tempted to back Dennis Kucinich are overlooking how Kucinich has reinvented himself. In the past, he hasn't been above playing to racial resentments and has seldom delivered on any pledge. For what it's worth, I happened to see a good article about the really wishy-washy resume of Kucinich: http://www.clevescene.com/2007-12-05/news/the-king-of-spin/

  Nice job on the article. I'm glad to see that voter purging by the Republicans is being exposed. Check out this link to read about the Republicans have been doing this for over 50 years http://projectvote.org/newsroom/project-vote-news/press-release.html?tx_ttnews[tt_news]=1206&tx_ttnews[backPid]=75&cHash=79393fae39

  re: the Ledbetter v. Good Year ruling The House recently passed the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay act which will essentially overturn the Supreme Court's unjust ruling. If signed into law, companies that engage in discriminatory labor practices -- like paying women less than men and then not having to compensate the worker if the worker discovers the practice after more than 18 months -- will have to pay up.
