In that instance, a representative of Organizing for America, a project of the Democratic Party supporting President Barack Obama's re-election campaign, gained classroom access because school office personnel believed the visit was to tout voter registration. Similar visits occurred at three other high schools, but in those instances, unlike at Gulf, speakers did not veer into partisan territory. Two other high schools correctly turned away the unauthorized visitors. Organizing for America later apologized for the Gulf High incident and discharged the volunteer.
I'll bet that source won't be thought good enough because it is run by righties or something. It is good to hand sources like this one to the Fox haters though.

Would the link provided over an hour before you posted this one be good enough for you or are you just doing that good old leaner practice I call deflection? Maybe you needed to read a bit further before you got excited.

So you have an over overzealous supporter doing something they shouldn't. It is a good thing Reps don't do anything they shouldn't

Personally it is all appalling as it damages our system, regardless of which side is guilty....

any reps want to comment on their folks?
I was doing pretty good with your sources and then you had to come up with the al Times of New York and I decided I didn't want to look at any of them.

The article said nothing about why Fox News was denied the ability to register students to the Republican party (which really shows Fox's true colors, which is partisan news.) I was hoping to find out why they were denied in that article, I did however notice this at the end of the article.

Quote:
“There was definitely discussion of having a Republican come in for equal access,” Mann told Fox News. “We’re not going in that direction because that would indeed be an additional violation of board policy.


Organizing For America apologized to the school district, the Tampa Bay Times reported. And the volunteer who delivered the pro-Obama speeches has been dismissed.
So it sounds like it was all done in bad judgement and the person who delivered the pro-Obama speech was dismissed, which would make sense, so not sure what the issue is with that if the proper thing happened for a violation like that.

In general there is no reason to believe something reported by Fox. In this case, the source appears to be Tampa Bay Online, the online version of the Tampa Tribune, which is a legitimate newspaper.

As a local Democratic Party official, I have no trouble saying that the public schools should not be providing unbalanced access to either political party.

You will find on an easy search many on the right that do the same you claim are coming from the left...and not from faux....not that they would report such a thing.
ROTFLMAO, reading the SOURCE, links to the local Tampa Bay news source, NOT associated with Fox news for most of the information.

I also note you failed to observe that as soon as it was found out the company was doing things illegally, they were fired.

From one of your own links,
Quote:
The Republican Party, which paid Mr. Sproul about $3 million this year for work in five states, has severed its ties with him, saying it has no tolerance for voter registration fraud.
