Members of this site won't need to be informed about the GOP effort to disfranchise minority and democratic voters by enacting "voter ID" laws. There is something we can do about it. Read on.
In a blatant effort to disfranchise Black, minority and Democratic voters many states where Republicans have exclusive control have enacted or are enacting voter ID laws. In general these laws require a picture ID. In order to disfranchise students these laws have declared student IDs invalid. The Supreme Court (a wholly owned subsidiary of the Republican party) has enabled this blatant exercise by gutting the Voting Rights Act of 1965. For older citizens, the handicapped, the young, obtaining an ID can be a logistical problem.
In order to counter and frustrate these hypocritical bastards we have posted a petition to the President to issue a new and improved Social Security card with the recipient's photo. The benefits of this project are detailed on the petition website, petitions.whitehouse.gov. If you believe in countering these efforts to disfranchise the powerless you should go to the site and sign the petition.
