The suppression of early voting is proving to be a useful tactic for Republicans in suppressing voter rights. Republicans have failed to utilized early voting to their advantage whereas Democrats, especially President Obama, have had huge success in getting minorities out to vote. It's disappointing to see so many Republican states introduce and pass these types of voter suppression laws. The recent Supreme Court Voters Right Act decision open the door for these types of laws that will certainly repress of the rights of the elderly and minorities.

Jose Antonio Vargas was brought here as a child illegally under no choice of his own. What I find hard to believe is he's broken numerous federal and employment laws, achieved a measure of success and still didn't try to obtain U.S. citizenship during that time. I must ask myself, this is clearly an educated man, did he not pursue a legal path to citizenship, is there no path of citizenship for children born here or is he just waiting to get deported?

The statistics don't seem to support NRA's position that putting more controls in place to restrict gun access would drive more guns into the hands of criminals or putting gun safety features on hand guns would require more government regulation. Criminals are the very ones that need to be regulated and are often banned from possessing fire arms. If they have them, they're bought underground and they don't go through proper channels, and who wouldn't want a mentally ill person screened prior to purchasing a hand gun? None of this limits legitimate American citizens from possessing handguns and doesn't violate a person's second amendment right.
