'Daily Voting News' For July 10, 2008

 

Today Senator Akaka (D-HI) called on the federal Department of Veteran’s Affairs to lift their ban on voter registration drives on Veteran’s Administration property. He pointed out that the VA's policy is unnecessary and insulting to veterans who have made enormous sacrifices for our country. He was joined by Sen.s Kerry and Feinstein. Also late today Connecticut Secretary of State Bysiewicz and Washington Secretary of State Reed joined in a bi-partisan campaign to overturn the VA ban, along with the Secretaries of State from Ohio, Montana, Vermont, Rhode Island, Minnesota, Kansas, New Hampshire, and Maine, to the DVA.
