White assed mf's have always voted for someone because they are white. All of the white women are voting for that lying crooked Hillary because she has a vagina,or does she?
this IS not the first time we had to march at PVU.while attending in the late 80s/90s rep. attorney general of waller county was trying to make some students an example but crying voter regist.fraud (totally untrue) because we are the voting force in those 3 lil towns PV,waller,hempstead...but we marched the students werent charged we were on CNN...lol..yrs later the same guy did the same crap,on a different generation,same result,they marched,dropped charges,STATE attorney general allow votes
Voting for someone for the sole reason that they are black makes you an idiot who should have the right to vote removed as to prevent a more retarded government than the one already in place at present.
Drolkin: I would assume you feel the same way about whites who would never vote for anyone that was not white, and female voters would vote for a woman simply because she was a woman?
Just a quick point - these students were not marching on behalf of Obama - they were simply marching to vote, for whichever candidate they wanted. Of course some were voting Obama, but others were NOT. I'm incredibly moved and impressed by their passion to make sure their votes were counted - thanks PVU students!
Thanks for pointing that out, throughout they are also chanting P V U.
Texas has an open primary so Democrats and Republicans can cross over and vote in either party's primary if they so wish. Both are on March 4 this year. People from this demonstration took part in early voting. I was merely observing that it is statistically possible there were non-Obama supporters and that there may even be a McCain supporter amongst them. :)
I heard an interview with one of the students. They were not marching for Obama, as other posters have mentioned, they were marching against voter suppression. This is actually a problem for us all no matter our candidate or party. Very interesting that so many posters associate these students with Obama, Statistically, there likely some McCain supporters in this wonderful group.
The youth vote has been huge this year largely as a part of the Obama campaign's strategy to catalyze actions such as this. The main thrust of this march is against disenfranchisement, but there is clearly a lot of related Obama support in there. I don't know how you could possibly miss all the signs and chanting of O-BA-MA at 0:33.
As for McCain, these students are marching to vote (early) in the Democratic primary are they not? McCain is no democrat.

great, great job! I sent this youtube link to a friend of mine in France. He startled to find out that American people are standing up for their own rights
You should "Bible it?" The Bible is opposed to people voting? I always sort of thought the Bible was opposed to killing and stuff but not voting. I guess I will have to Bible it to see what kind of sin voting is.
A beautiful moment. Waller County is a place full of racism and a history of disenfranchisement. Bless these students for taking a stand and making themselves heard loud and clear.
thank you, thank you, thank you to every single one of you who marched. Thank you for exercising your right to vote in a public way. Thank you for marching in resistance to political disenfranchisement (most schools I KNOW have a polling place ON CAMPUS). You are an inspiration!

no, i'm not ignorant..lets see, there is no miss white america pageant? ivory magazine? caucasion college fund? i think the ignorance is being spread to continue segregating whites & blacks and to keep the hatred going. please convince me otherwise and tell me how this is balanced?? do you really believe that its okay? If i do it its racist..if you do it its pride??
Defeats ignorance, know the historical facts. There were white pageants and magazines that excluded blacks, and whites could apply for funds which blacks could not receive. So blacks got their own pageants, magainzes, & college funds! And pride, ahistory os slavery, jim crow lynchings, & segregation held that there was nothing blacks could feel pride of, so black pride is in direct response to this history of racism. Balance will come when we have retified these wrongs.
Texas Republicans have worked overtime to make it harder for key Democratic voting groups to vote and be represented fairly. The redistricting games they've played are infamous. And for the Prairie View A&M University precincts, they put the early-polling place more than seven miles from the school.
So what did the students in this video do? They shut down the highway as they marched seven miles to cast their votes on the first day of early voting.
I followed the news on the redistricting, so I'm happy to see the People responding. Agree or disagree, this is America (and I, for one, would trade idling my car behind people like this over the miles of unattended, single-lane construction zones I come across traveling cross-country).
Dang..I graduated from Texas State University and recalled them having a place to vote right on campus. March on my fellow citizens.
To be honest with ya, I had to call the Bexar county Texas voting place three times for them to mail me an absentee democratic ballot for Texas. If I don't see the ballot in my mail box on Monday, I'm suing. I got evidence that show's i sent my request on time.

I'm sorry, but your post would make more sense if you replaced "obama" with "george w. bush" and then replaced the words "young people" with "old people". I know you are afraid now. Don't worry, this is how things get better. :)
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Yeah, I mean, it's not like they could just not like the other candidates. The only difference between Obama and Hilary and McCain is race, after all.
You need a lesson in economics. One third of the federal budget comes from income tax. What Ron Paul would do is close all the military bases that we have in other nations. That 1 Trillion cost would be enough to cover the loss in money from abolishing the income tax. And no worry about the light bill.
Uncle Frank must be turning in his grave to have a fan like you using his name. What's so funny about finally having something to be proud about the USA after decadess of shameful bombing (Bosnia, Panama, Iraq), lying (IranContra, El Salvador, IRAQ), cheating (Monica,rigged elections) and stealing (Enron, S&L Scandal, IRAQ). I'd rather sound like Michelle Obama--and I too am proud of my country for the first time in a LONG time--than come off like a kool-aid swilling ignoramus.
Change is coming to America. Republicans, don't let the door hit you in the ass on your way out of Washington for the next twenty years. No immunity for Telcos, Bush dog democrats we are watching you. You will know us at the ballot box.
Deomocrat or Republican you won't see change! Obama nor Clinton will get out of Iraq..the only change you will see is higher taxes and more deficit through Universal Healthcare... There is no difference because they are all owned by special interest and big corps. That's why you should Vote for Ron Paul! He'll end the drug war...end the Iraq war..and end the IRS!
You do realize that there is NO way that Ron Paul can get the republican nomination now right? It's simple math.
And this, the mere fact that Obama is motivating SO many people to vote and to do it besides their obvious oppression. That's change. Obama is not the change that we are looking for. We are. Yes We Can.
Do you realize that if Ron Paul got elected and got rid of the IRS you would stand to gain a healthy increase in income. Take a look at your pay check and see how much more per month you would have to spend. Now, what is Obama going to do for you? Diddly squat.
You'd rather have a racist, fundamentalist Christian neo-Confederate who published hate speech for over 20 years, and who wants to disband public services and legalize ALL guns?
You want a candidate that will allow states to take away womens' rights?
You want a candidate that would allow creationism in public school science classes?
Ron Paul is a nutcase. He won't even get nominated. Go away.
I'm forty-two tomorrow, and this video makes ME feel young again! Keep it up, and don't let ANYBODY get away with saying that young people don't care.
I am so proud of the young people fighting for their rights! I have been politically active for years and was losing hope that the American people would rise to the occasion. Thank you for restoring my faith in the people.
These students are awesome. It's inspiring to see people standing up (and walking 7 miles) for their right to vote. And it's a damn shame that voter suppression tactics are still being used to disenfranchise black voters. We need a president who will make sure the Voting Rights Act of 1965 is fully enforced in Republican-controlled states like Texas. And Florida, where thousands of legitimate black voters were illegally purged from the voting rolls by Katherine Harris and Jeb Bush back in 2000.
Whatever it is, America is awakening in a great way and being patriotic about it,atleast its not a call for a war but a peaceful disgust with their government."i feel change in the air"(Ted Kennedy) i feel it too!
I think the bigger issue is that there was originally 6 or 7 locations available to cast an early vote within the county and the county officials chose close most of them citing 'finance issues'...smh
According to reports there has been a history of voting issues in this county. The federal gov't had to step in to get some additional spots to be reopened.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Are we assuming they don't have cars or is this a statistical fact ? Most College students I know can make it 7 miles in 2 weeks. I just don't think this is a real example of voter suppression. now if I were to find out that the voting booths the day of the primary were 25 miles away and the college was ,and, or planning major test, or local government was planning on shutting down the road because of road construction, then I would be right there marching with them.
This is what you call symbolism. There are only two polling places in the entire county and they're in one town. Apparently, this county has tried disenfranchising students for years and these kids aren't going to let them get away with it!
To give you something to think about; I am a graduate of that university and I can tell you a couple of interesting things about the area. 1. In the town of Hempstead, there is an old lynching tree that the city paved around, they didn't cut it down. 2. Many of the buildings in Hempstead and Waller still have old "colored" entrance doors. The doors have been bricked over, but the signs remain. That has always been a suppressive county and removing polls where Black people are is typical.
Way to stand up for your right to vote. There is a long history of suppressing the vote in that county and these students are here to say enough is enough. They are right, this is 2008!!!

Change is coming to America. Republicans, don't let the door hit you in the ass on your way out of Washington for the next twenty years. No immunity for Telcos, Bush dog democrats we are watching you. You will know us at the ballot box.

Deomocrat or Republican you won't see change! Obama nor Clinton will get out of Iraq..the only change you will see is higher taxes and more deficit through Universal Healthcare... There is no difference because they are all owned by special interest and big corps. That's why you should Vote for Ron Paul! He'll end the drug war...end the Iraq war..and end the IRS!

You do realize that there is NO way that Ron Paul can get the republican nomination now right? It's simple math.
And this, the mere fact that Obama is motivating SO many people to vote and to do it besides their obvious oppression. That's change. Obama is not the change that we are looking for. We are. Yes We Can.

Do you realize that if Ron Paul got elected and got rid of the IRS you would stand to gain a healthy increase in income. Take a look at your pay check and see how much more per month you would have to spend. Now, what is Obama going to do for you? Diddly squat.

Obama stands for nothing! Yes, he is a bright person....
But he sold his soul.......
He will be a puppet for the elitists that run this country and when they say jump,
Obama will say, how high! He will fail you!
He belongs to CFR! and yes Hillery is CFR too....

Do your research on all the candidates before you vote! Save America!

Let me guess. Ron Paul supporter?
You'd rather have a racist, fundamentalist Christian neo-Confederate who published hate speech for over 20 years, and who wants to disband public services and legalize ALL guns?
You want a candidate that will allow states to take away womens' rights?
You want a candidate that would allow creationism in public school science classes?
Ron Paul is a nutcase. He won't even get nominated. Go away.

These students are awesome. It's inspiring to see people standing up (and walking 7 miles) for their right to vote. And it's a damn shame that voter suppression tactics are still being used to disenfranchise black voters. We need a president who will make sure the Voting Rights Act of 1965 is fully enforced in Republican-controlled states like Texas. And Florida, where thousands of legitimate black voters were illegally purged from the voting rolls by Katherine Harris and Jeb Bush back in 2000.

Whatever it is, America is awakening in a great way and being patriotic about it,atleast its not a call for a war but a peaceful disgust with their government."i feel change in the air"(Ted Kennedy) i feel it too!

I think the bigger issue is that there was originally 6 or 7 locations available to cast an early vote within the county and the county officials chose close most of them citing 'finance issues'...smh
According to reports there has been a history of voting issues in this county. The federal gov't had to step in to get some additional spots to be reopened.

This comment has received too many negative votes show
Are we assuming they don't have cars or is this a statistical fact ? Most College students I know can make it 7 miles in 2 weeks. I just don't think this is a real example of voter suppression. now if I were to find out that the voting booths the day of the primary were 25 miles away and the college was ,and, or planning major test, or local government was planning on shutting down the road because of road construction, then I would be right there marching with them.

This is what you call symbolism. There are only two polling places in the entire county and they're in one town. Apparently, this county has tried disenfranchising students for years and these kids aren't going to let them get away with it!

Make every US voter walk 7 miles to vote and watch the drop in turnout. That's a statistical fact you moron.

To give you something to think about; I am a graduate of that university and I can tell you a couple of interesting things about the area. 1. In the town of Hempstead, there is an old lynching tree that the city paved around, they didn't cut it down. 2. Many of the buildings in Hempstead and Waller still have old "colored" entrance doors. The doors have been bricked over, but the signs remain. That has always been a suppressive county and removing polls where Black people are is typical.
