Warning to Bottle Drop users

When you go to print bag tags, be sure to check the slot to see that there aren't any from the previous user sitting there.

I had that happen to me but caught it in time. Don't know if it was an accident or somebody being sneaky, but if I hadn't noticed, 2 of my bags would have been credited to someone else.

That's not how it works!

Been noticing this for a while, but when it came up in reference to the filibuster, my thoughts finally crystallized.

Voting rights have been taking a beating for *years*. But it's finally been explicitly stated that the Republicans don't think they can win if they don't discourage voter turnout. This is also behind gerrymandering.

Guys? I hate to tell you this (ok, I actually *don't*) but if you need to keep people away from the polls to win, you're doing it wrong.

If your platform isn't appealing to these voters you need to take long, *hard* look at said platform.

Politics is *not* supposed to be about imposing your vision of how things should be on the people. It's supposed to be about representing the people and *their* best interests, not yours.
