A ticket here, come over here. This car, this has a ticket, as well. These cars all brought in from center city and dropped off right here. The flashing lights are from a row of tow trucks ready to clear this street. Moving out vehicles that arent supposed to be here.

Africanamerican voters and also africanamerican candidates . Let me share with you, jesse holland, this is from a democrat, he worked for president bill clinton as a speechwriter and he says to t Voting Rights nationwide on heading on inattention by the American People, emboldened by the recent Supreme Court case limiting the reach of the Voting Rights act, they have worked weeklyo cut voting samed is not a paradox because often the africanamerican voters are those who cast their ballots early according to a number of studies. Guest that is a paradox. You would think someone is trying to recruit voters would want to make it as easy as possible those people to vote. Now, a lot of republican opportunists will tell you that even africanamericans are concerned about voter fraud and thats one of the issues that they tried to point at when you look at voter id law. However, one of the practical effect of voter id laws obviously is that make it makest harder for some people to vote. Now, one

Reporter for hundreds of thousands of federal employees, a shudown means going without a paycheck. That includes 450 employees at the u. S. Geological survey in menlo park. All but three employees who have the task of monitoring earthquakes left their offices today uncertain about when theyd be back on the job.
