Stop McCain's Plan to Deny Votes of People Who Have Lost Their Homes

Sign below and tell John McCain and the Republican Party to stop their outrageous plans to prevent Michigan residents who have lost their homes to foreclosures from voting this November!

Republican Party officials have admitted they plan to suppress the vote in November of families that have lost their homes. Plans include party officials who will monitor polls on election day and use foreclosure lists in an attempt to stop voters who have lost their homes from casting their ballots (MI Messenger 9/10/08).

Families who have lost their homes to foreclosure should not be kicked when they are down. Their homes have already been taken away from them because of the disastrous economic policies of the last eight years and the unfair, policies of the Bush administration.

Do not take away their right to vote this November. Having lost their homes, losing their right to vote would be a slap in the face of all Americans.

To John McCain:

We, the undersigned, call on you and the Republican Party to stop your plan to prevent people who have lost their homes to foreclosures from voting this November. We represent a diverse group of Michigan citizens from all political backgrounds – Republican, Democrat and independent – and we are united in our deep concern about your proposal to suppress voters.

Families who have lost their homes to foreclosure should not be kicked when they are down. Their homes have already been taken away from them because of the disastrous economic policies of the last eight years and the unfair, policies of the Bush administration. Do not take away their right to vote this November. Having lost their homes, losing their right to vote would be a slap in the face of all Americans.

We, the undersigned, further urge you to move your Midwest headquarters out of the building currently provided to you by foreclosure specialist Trott & Trott in Farmington Hills, which has profited from the foreclosure crisis at a terrible cost to everyday Michigan families.

If you are sincere in your claim that you understand the pain of hardworking Michigan families, please do the following:

  • Stop your plan to block voters who have lost their homes
  • Publicly denounce the Macomb County Republican Party for implementing the plan
  • Move your headquarters out of the Trott & Trott building
