The Department of Veterans Affairs has just forbidden voter registration drives in its hospitals, rehab centers and other facilities. What this means is that this ban will make it more difficult for thousands of young veterans who have been injured fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan. No matter what your views on the war, everyone needs to support the troops that are risking their lives every single day for a job they don’t even want. Help our veterans register and vote.
Last week, the Senate introduced a bill to overturn the ban and allow states to require V.A. hospitals to offer voter registration to their clients. You can help pass this bill by simply going to the following website and sending in a petition:

Banning the most basic act of democracy from Americans who have fought for our democracy just doesn’t make any sense. We need to stand up for our veterans–especially for the thousands of young veterans who are eligible to vote in their first presidential election.
