Voter suppression is in full swing in this country. The pain
endured by our Black leaders during the civil-rights era, has returned. Mrs.
Copper a 96-year-old resident of Chattanooga Tennessee was refused a driving license,
after showing numerous residency and identity documents, for failure to produce
a marriage certificate. In some states, a Veteran ID card won’t suffice as a
voting ID. You can die for your country, but you’re not eligible to vote
because you lack a state photo ID?
Photo ID mandates are the most pervasive new restriction on
the right to vote. In 2011, Republicans have proposed these laws in more than
30 states, requiring Americans to possess and show unexpired government-issued
photo identification as a prerequisite to voting, but a Veteran ID is invalid
in some states.
If you know someone who wants to vote this year, assist him
or her to obtain a valid photo-ID card. Don’t abandon our struggle against James
Crow Esq. for it's an essential part of our ancestral duty.

Hi Mr. Warren Irving Jr., I came across your name and blog on blackbloggersconnect.com Inspirational Bloggers, I just became a member. Great article mann, I have been following this story on msnbc, and this move by the GOP is so diabolical, and mis-guided. You would think that as the "Leaders of the FREE WORLD" we would lead the fight in voter accessibility. Keep us aware.
ReplyDeleteThanks for this Warren! Great Info.
