PICTURE THIS!!!!

Since so much of the Republican voter suppression is disguised as voter fraud and their way they say to combat that is to have approved state id, why doesn't some one (who has some money to burn) start a foundation called "PICTURE THIS!" which would be a foundation to provide funding to poor folks who can't afford picture id. It would include document research and acquisition and rides to the DMV etc and cost of id?

I think this would get a lot more folks on the voter rolls. I know there might be some who would take advantage of it, but there could be safeguards such as income verification etc.

Just a though for New Years

and to ensure that all eligible citizens can vote.

Or we don't really have a democracy and Putin can continue to steal elections.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
