Another video. Apparently Vinnie Mac is thanking the "fans" for "Standing Up
For WWE". I'll believe it when I see it & it better not be mindless marks!

Apparently Vinnie Mac doesn't know that the Voter's Registrar in Connecticut are
being told that anybody wearing WWE gear CANNOT vote!

"Connecticut's voter registrars are being told they can ask people wearing World
Wrestling Entertainment garb to cover that up while voting.
Av Harris, a spokesman for the secretary of the state's office, says that's
because Republican Senate candidate Linda McMahon is so closely associated with
WWE, which she left to run for office.
There is a law that prevents political advertising within 75 feet of the polls.
The story was first reported Friday by the Hartford Courant and WTIC-TV.
Harris says enforcement will be left up to officials at the polls. He says a
similar policy was put in place in California, where voters were advised not to
wear "Terminator" garb, while Arnold Schwarzenegger was on the ballot.
The WWE had no immediate comment."
WWE just heard about this & this is what they said:

"State Of Connecticut Threatens WWE Fans' Right To Vote
STAMFORD, Conn. – The right for World Wrestling Entertainment fans to vote was threatened today by Connecticut Secretary of State Susan Bysiewicz, who gave the authority to local poll workers to determine that if anyone shows up to the polls on November 2 wearing any WWE merchandise, whether it is a John Cena T-shirt or a Randy Orton wristband, they may be forced to go home and change, cover it up, or take it off in order to vote.
"Denying our fans the right to vote, denying them their First Amendment rights, regardless if they are Democrat, Republican or Independent, is un-American, unconstitutional and blatantly discriminatory," said Vince McMahon, Chairman and CEO of WWE. "
