    OHIO (Get Up On The Bus)

    By FiftyBillion  |  Posted October 24, 2008  |  Columbus, Ohio
     
    In the 2004 ELECTION nearly 100,000 VOTERS in mostly Black and low income areas of OHIO were DENIED THEIR RIGHT TO VOTE, as they WAITED IN LONG LINES that LEAD TO MALFUNCTIONING or SIMPLY BROKEN VOTING MACHINES... OTHERS were LOCKED OUT of VOTING BOOTHS after flawed officials CLOSED THE POLLING PLACES despite the fact that folks had stood in line for HOURS...A woman's husband actually DIED at HOME while she stood in line for nearly 7 HOURS to VOTE!!! THIS SONG IS FOR OHIO and the MILLIONS WHO WILL SHOW UP ON ELECTION DAY TO BE HEARD... PROTECT YOUR VOTE and GET UP ON THE BUS!!!
