1. Hey, he's made the big time

It's good this story is getting some publicity.

[nadinbrzezinski]

4. Until the story makes it to the evening news, no it has not

yes I am that cynical

[proud2BlibKansan]

2. Thank you

I just posted it too.

I am so proud of Phil. :applause:

[suffragette]

3. Thanks for the heads-up! Tuning in now.

[Ichingcarpenter]

5. He sounds great and has a rational coherent story

What a story!

[Arnold Judas Rimmer]

6. I'm listening, but I tuned in kinda late.

Where did this ridiculous abuse of civil rights take place?

[nadinbrzezinski]

Missouri

[nadinbrzezinski]

7. Missouri

[proud2BlibKansan]

9. Independence, MO

Harry Truman's hometown.

[RubyDuby in GA]

8. Nice hat tip to DU at the end

I've got to call my aunt tonight who lives in Kansas City, right down the road from Independence and get the scoop on what is buzzing locally.

This is only the beginning folks. They are scared shitless at the overwhelming loss that is coming and will fight it tooth and nail this year in any underhanded way they can.

10. I am in KC and they are doing this shit all over town

Phill came to our DFA meeting last night and told his story. We are hearing from other voters in KC who were also asked for photo IDs or signatures.

[RubyDuby in GA]

11. KC, KS or KC, MO?

She's in MO. And its her birthday today, so I was gonna call anyway.

It's no better down here in GA.

[nadinbrzezinski]

12. In 2000 they demanded photo ID in california from me

these days I carry a passport

They haven't in 2006 and so far in 2008


On edit, I do since I am voting while immigrant, a great crime already

[proud2BlibKansan]

14. MO

I live in KS and we have no voter ID here.

[RubyDuby in GA]

19. The nutjobs in GA rammed through the voter id bill and the justice department signed off on it

Our party here is still fighting it, but it was just rubberstamped by the Justice Dept. Even the lawyers who looked at it for the JD said it was wrong, but they got overruled by the higher ups.

[proud2BlibKansan]

22. MO's was thrown out by the state supreme court

But as you can see, that doesn't really matter. The poll workers are enforcing a law that isn't on the books.

[formercia]

21. Same in Maine

In fact, it's illegal to ask for ID. Surprisingly we have not gone Socialist yet. :sarcasm:

[Joanne98]

30. it's the "christians"

[Bozita]

13. only three recommendations? ... WTF?

[L. Coyote]

16. Sounds like Thom is taking all callers on this topic for the rest of the hour.

Good on Thom.

[MiniMe]

17. They are still talking about it with callers

Somebody just called in and said that they called the MO SOS office. This is getting big!

[wvbygod]

18. Has the election board made a statement saying his ID was in order yet?

Has the election board confirmed he had all that was required?

I have seen all the evidence but would like to hear the election board confirm it.

[proud2BlibKansan]

23. Not that I am aware of.

I will post if I hear anything.

[Kire]

28. I think they did that when they offered him the opportunity to vote at the election board

after he got out of jail

[wvbygod]

31. Not good enough

We need the election board to confirm that he had all that was required to vote at the polling place.

We can interpret all day long that the documents he had were all he needed but with the board's confirmation the law will be on his side. Then the lawsuits can begin...

[Kire]

32. send out a journalist

or write a letter to the editor of the Kansas City Star demanding that question

after that, you'll probably need a lawsuit

[Pierzin]

20. Sorry to hear about that Galloglas

WooooooT!!!!
That is amazing! Thom is really worried about this, and everyone else shoul d be too. Holy Cow!

Kick and rec! We need to know where else this is happening! This is BS!

[RedLetterRev]

29. I'm listening to the podcast right now

it's the whiterosesociety version, today's date 8/7/08, it starts at about minute 1:18:00

I found it through itunes, but there are several podcasts with "Thom Hartmann" in the title, including two from whiterosesocity.

best of luck
