Republicans are up to their old tricks again.
Missouri is about to get its very own Voter ID Law. With your help we can stop it before its too late.
First, for those of you unfamiliar to Missouri, a little history. The GOP has majorities in both our state house and senate. Our governor, Matt Blunt, whose father is Roy Blunt, has fortunately claimed "Mission Accomplished" and has decided not to run for a second term. Could be because he is under investigation for a couple of things. With an open governors seat the Democrats have an excellent chance to reclaim the office in Jay Nixon, our current Attorney General. The GOP, while not the brightest bunch, knows they are facing a tough fight in November. Their candidates for governor (they have a primary fight) are fairly weak so hence the urgent need for a Voter ID Law.
The Missouri House passed a bill, similar to Indiana's, requiring a government issued ID in order to vote. The bill now moves to the Missouri Senate where its expected to pass. Republicans routinely use the "nuclear option" to prevent filibusters by Democrats from working.
This bill is expected to disenfranchise approximately 300,000 voters in the form of the elderly, disabled, and poor. You know, Democrats.
Here is how you can help.
Missouri is lucky to have as a Democratic candidate for Attorney General, Jeff Harris. He is taking on this fight to prevent the Missouri Senate and our Governor, Baby Blunt, from making this law. Just click on the link below to e-mail your state senator. We already know the US Supreme Court doesn't give a shit so we have to stop it here.
Thanks and please pass the word. If we don't stop it now we are stuck with it.
