Afghans killed for registering to vote

Its been a long time since anyone was killed in America for registering to vote (it did used to happen to Blacks in the South). But the practice is alive and well in Afghanistan, where the Taliban is doing its best to suppress the emergence of a real democracy. In Afghanistan 14 unarmed men were murdered because they registered to vote in their country's first free election. A Taliban spokesman has claimed responsibility for the attack. Another attack claimed the lives of two women working to register voters. Young people often hear the slogan "your vote is your voice", but in most of the world your vote isn't just your voice, it's your life. If you aren't registered to vote, do it now at our Register to Vote page.

Its the least you can do. Really.
