A volunteer network started by Tea Party members in Texas has taken steps
to verify the addresses of college students in Huntsville, prompting local
Democrats to cry foul.

True the Vote <http://www.truethevote.org/> last month sent a fax to
Oakwood University, a historically black Seventh-day Adventist college in
Huntsville, to verify the addresses of more than 120 students who are
registered voters. The list included names alongside dates of birth.

"I'm outraged about this," said Clete Wetli, chairman of the Madison County
Democratic party. Wetli on Friday said True the Vote is "aligned with the
far right and Tea Party activists" and is using "fear and suppression" to
attempt to influence elections.

Judy Parsons, the Hartselle volunteer who contacted Oakwood
University<http://www.oakwood.edu/>,
said she is one of 130 volunteers attempting to clear up Alabama voter
rolls and the student names were provided by True the Vote. She contends
the group is non-partisan.
