Get Out Her Vote 2008
College students are frequently told that they risk losing their financial aid if they register to vote at their university or college address. That’s simply not true! Students have a right to register and vote where they attend college, which eliminates the need for absentee ballots.
Join our Get Out HER Vote campaign by sharing this message with your e-mail list. Make sure your circle of friends and family count in this historic year.
Together we can make sure our votes are a key part of this election.

This was shot today, October 31, the last day of early voting in Colorado Springs, at the downtown Centennial Hall polling place and the Citadel Mall Central polling place.
After a lawsuit against the AG Coffman over the thousands he purged from the voter rolls, and 2 controversies with clerk and recorder, Balink in El Paso County, and especially at Colorado College, voters were faced with long lines at the 3 polling place for a county of 590,000, where there were 6 early voting places for the midterm election of 2006.

watch the rally and march with Senator Salazar, when the college went to vote en masses:
Senator Ken Salazar, Representative Michael Merrifield, party chair John Morris, candidate Hal Bidlack, and other luminaries came to Colorado College after 2 more attempts by the El Paso County clerk and recorder, Bob balink, to suppress the vote at the college with LIES, deceptions, and threats to keep the students from voting for Obama.
After a great rally and some great BlueGrass music, hundreds marched down to the central polling place at Centennial Hall to vote en masse. balink had closed half of the 6 early voting precincts this year in a further suppression tactic, for which he is infamous.
balink, a republicon, sent false threats, warning of possible consequences if a student registered to vote in Colorado and is claimed as a dependent on a tax return in another state or fails to register his or her vehicle in Colorado. He claimed that students who register in Colorado must abandon any prior residency in other states and makes their departure from their parents homes permanent. BULLSHIT.
He hired a known GDop hatchetman lawyer, Erik Groves of Denver-based Zakhem-Atherton LLC (303-228-1200), to threaten students with IRS problems for their parents (costing the parents the $3,500 tax deduction) and vehicle registration fines and impoundment for voting, after telling the bald faced LIE that they couldn’t vote in Colorado if they were claimed as a dependent on their parent’s taxes in another state.
This is bullshit, and its not supported by law, said state Senator John Morse. As state Party Chairwoman Pat Waak pointed out, he did NOT send this information to the conservative Air Force Academy college, UCCS, PPCC, or any other college, but CC.
He later withdrew that directive and apologized for “misinterpreting” state law (BULLLSHIT) an then tried the IRS and vehicle threat to suppress the student vote.
