Guys...instead of getting out the vote. We need to get out the ID's

[vaberella]

Does anyone know of some movement to get people ID's in time for voting? Is there a movement in place. I'm willing to campaign in Pennsylvania during the weekends to help people get their ID's.

Does anyone know if there are even Advertisements warning people to get their ID's in order to vote in the coming election in the respective states?

ED is talking about this....RIGHT NOW!!!

1. And, what are we supposed to do about the elderly who have no birth certificates--

either because they were born at home and no certificate was filed, delivered by a midwife, or their records have been lost. The latter category includes many Katrina survivors, as well as those in areas where courthouses burned or other disasters destroyed records.

While I agree we should be doing outreach, that is not going to solve the problem.

2. Can't vote don't pay local taxes.

8. That's kind of turning the Tea Party slogan of "No taxation without representation" around, one

they are so fond of using, but I doubt too many modern Tea Partiers would see it that way. The original Boston Tea Partiers would and they're probably turning in their graves to know that modern Americans are paying taxes but aren't allowed to participate in electing their representatives.

3. Couple of Philly organizations mentioned in the article:

A coalition of groups is doing what you'd expect the state to do: help voters get the necessary ID.
