3. I am not into Religion...Science is my groove.
I have a solution. We must rally the democrats and get these people id's the
Presidential candidates could use their funds and we could volunteer in masses
to take people to get ids. We have computers we can go online and order birth
certificates etc. I am ready who needs to go? We must start now.
We all know it was the repugs they want to keep the White House.
We must not allow it. Obama or Clinton could ad a link. WHo needs an ID?
Peace

5. Voter ID is about Disenfranchising Voters
Edited on Fri May-16-08 05:11 PM by fascisthunter
Say it loud, say it clear and don't let the right wing bs stop you. Underhandedness like this is an affront to our Democracy itself. Treason as far as I'm concerned....

6. Jason Leopold: Mark “Thor” Hearne, Bush Operative Pushes Voter-ID Law
Jason Leopold just covered this, so I compiled my research anew in a thread.
It could use some more fleshing out though:

===============
Bush Operative Pushes Voter-ID Law
Jason Leopold - the Public Record - May 14, 2008 - http://www.pubrecord.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=41&Itemid=9


A senior legal adviser to the Bush-Cheney 2004 reelection campaign is working behind the scenes to help enact a Missouri state constitutional amendment that critics say would suppress the vote in the key battleground state this November by requiring voters to show proof of citizenship.

Mark “Thor” Hearne, Bush-Cheney’s national counsel in 2004 and now a partner in the St. Louis, Missouri, firm of Lathrop & Gage, has been collaborating with Missouri’s Republican state Rep. Stanley Cox, the sponsor of the constitutional amendment, Cox’s office confirmed this week.

For years, Hearne has been a leading Republican figure demanding stricter voter-identification laws and popularizing claims about widespread voter fraud, although many election experts dismiss such alarms as hyperbole.

During the 2004 campaign, Hearne reportedly worked with White House political adviser Karl Rove on “voter fraud” issues and spearheaded GOP efforts to challenge voter-registration drives by pro-Democratic groups.
