CITIZENSHIP ON THE FLY - MY 2 CENTS WORTH

Watched Progress Michigan. Enjoyed Bruce's interview with Michigan ACLU. I noticed that channel 4 morning news touted the proposed Sec of State new driver license as being a good thing without any critical information. Just more of accepting anything a government entity claims without investigative review. Bill Moyers is right - our "4th estate" has become a 5th column for our democracy.
I am not concerned about whether it is Clinton or Obama on the Democratic ticket, but rather will all the votes be counted. Thanks to a right wing Supreme Court, voter surpression has been given a green light. We are so close to a fascist state - and the sad fact is - people don't realize it.
This MDP/NDP game of one upmanship has left the Democratic voters of Michigan screwed. So now what? No sense crying over what happened, but I am concerned about our influence at the national convention. Will our deligates be seated?
