Kerry to teachers: Embrace the Strip sites

Sen. John Kerry, who endorsed Sen. Barack Obama last week, has a tough post up at TPMCafe.com, a liberal Web site in the talkingpointsmemo.com family of sites.

Kerry takes a shot at the lawsuit filed in federal court by the teachers union, which wants to shut down the special caucus sites on the Strip. They say the sites give a disproportionate influence to the Culinary Union, which is the union of union hotels on our most famous boulevard.

Here's a snippet of Kerry's response:

Whether it’s scrubbing African-Americans from the voting rolls, challenging the registrations of people with Hispanic surnames, or not providing enough voting machines in the neighborhoods of working families, the right-wing has spent years denying people the right to vote in the pursuit of raw political gain. All this time, Democrats have stood up for the rights of all people to cast their votes. We need to remain that kind of Party -- voter suppression is wrong, all the time, anywhere.

Open the caucus sites, and let people vote.
