hmm, francis, i’m having a little difficulty making out your points, so i’ll just say this. i think:

1. the ACA is law, i support it, and i think the republican party has no business holding the budget and the debt ceiling hostage to their plan to eliminate it. let them attack it through normal channels like rhetoric, elections and court challenges.

2. why in the world would any state need to make it harder to vote? there is no ‘voter fraud’ problem that anybody can demonstrate, and voting has been working well for decades. what is the point of these changes to registration and voting time regulations?
