Another Voter Intimidation Tactic: Flyer Full of Lies

A BUZZFLASH NEWS ALERT - October 29, 2004

A Message from Sheila D. Cochran, Sec./Treas., Milw. County AFL-CIO

I just wanted to make you aware of this flyer circulating in the African American community. This is an example of the type of tactic being done in the African American neighborhoods to suppress the vote. It is not an accident; it is intentional and it is aimed at the newly registered and infrequent voter, or the fearful voter. This is why we need all of you to please keep your eyes and ears open, participate wherever you can and encourage people to not be intimidated by or discouraged from voting. Not one point on this flyer is true and it is the type of disgusting and egregious information spread in neighborhoods to keep the voters home.

Don't be fooled, this is happening and you are the best weapon to make sure it does not continue. We will be doing all we can to make sure that our community votes on election day and that every vote is counted!

Sheila Cochran, AFL-CIO Voter Protection
It's Your Right, It's your Vote, Make it Count!
