Make Sure You Have Valid Photo ID!

[thombergeron]

Taken from the Planned Parenthood home page:

Do I have to bring in a photo ID?
If you wish to see if you qualify for free services under the Family Planning Expansion Project, you will need to bring in both proof of citizenship and a photo ID. A passport can satisfy both requirements, but more commonly clients bring in a driver's license and birth certificate. We also will need your Social Security number, although we do not need to see the card.

Damned Republicans are everywhere.....

Specifically, taken from the home page of Planned Parenthood of Southwestern Oregon and referring to the Oregonian Family Planning Expansion Project. As was pointed out earlier, public assistance programs are largely administered at the state level in the U.S. We have 50 of those, so as you might expect, there is some variation between states.

For instance, California’s Medi-Cal program, which provides free and low-cost family planning services at Panned Parenthood through its Family PACT program, does not require photo ID.

What's more, you neglected to cut-and-paste the paragraph that follows the one you quoted:

Please note: the photo ID requirement applies only if you are seeking to qualify for free services. If you have private insurance or are paying out of pocket, no photo ID is needed.

If, indeed, it’s not possible to make your point without lies and prevarication, you might consider that your point is unsound.

You need two forms of ID to register to vote, one federal and one with a signature and proof of residence. You then sign your name in the appropriate precinct book of registered citizens. Penalties for fraud are stiff; so don't register if you're not a citizen or don't live in that precinct...there's no money in it...little to gain and a lot to lose.

In prior years if you went to the polls, showed your registration card, signed the book beneath your prior signature, the poll workers would compare the signatures and if they matched they gave you a ballot. This year, in many States, you will have to present specially requested forms of ID. The IDs you used to register will not be sufficient. In other words you have to prove you are eligible to vote twice and with different forms of certification each time.

Not all voters need give proof of their identification on two independent occasions; absentee voter fraud is not addressed by the new laws. Supporters of the new voter ID laws in Pennsylvania are unable to present a single case of in-person voter fraud...not a one. Yet their law will disenfranchise 700 000 voters! Republican majority leader Mike Turzai of Pennsylvania admitted the law was designed to suppress the democratic vote and secure the State for Romney.

Please make sure you have the necessary papers in order well before the election. Don't be disenfranchised by these new disingenuous tactics to suppress your right to vote.

Did You Know...........


In Indiana which has one of the most strict voter ID laws in the country, Barack Obama won that state in the 2008 election and black turnout actually went up. Of course, the fact that black turnout went up had a lot to do with him being on the ballot....so by lib logic, if the black vote in Indiana is less this year than previous elections, it has to be racist, it has to be supression....it can't possibly have anything to do with apathy after the hope and change came and went.

Pathetic as usual OMK. The vote in all places may well drop - in some cases engineered by your favourites and their corrupt attempt to steal the election in new ways, in others because even staunch old school Republicans can't stomach what your party was degraded into and in some cases because of disappointment with what Obama has been unable to achieve (thnks in some pat to GOP intransigence and bloodymindedness.).

The Indiana Voter ID Law was passed in 2005, well before the 2008 election. Nevertheless it was contested in the courts. By 2008 the plaintiffs were unable to produce any witnesses who were unable to produce the required identification (a State photo ID or U.S. photo ID). The defendants were unable to produce any cases of in-person voter fraud or evidence that would necessitate the new law. The District Court of Appeals found in favor of the law.

In spite of the obvious attempt to suppress the democratic vote (after all there was and remains no evidence that in-person voter fraud is a problem), African-Americans turned out in record numbers and Obama won (as incredible as it seems) Indiana by a sliver (1% of the vote).

Yes, they might invent tactics to suppress our voice at the polls, but we can overcome. Nice reminder OMK. WE CAN OVERCOME. FIND OUT THE LAW IN YOUR STATE__REGISTER__GET YOUR IDs __AND VOTE.

You Asked for It-You Got It!!!

Ron Reagan Jr mentioned last night on TV that the Republicans may have started something they will regret - A nationwide voter registration drive that lasts four years.
A woman was on who has voted since she was 19, she had to take a day off work, get jerked around for four hours to get her free ID, but now she is street legal. Early voting has started in Ohio. It's On!!!

we're getting to the good part.
