[hope]

Demand Emergency legislation that requires ALL voters to show a valid photo ID . You have to have an ID to fly , you should have to have one to vote ! Please sign the Petition. Thank You

[null and void]

I’d settle for purple fingers.

[shield]

Done.......

[dbacks]

Waste of time.

[WellyP]

Much better idea and very simple.....purple fingers!

[jimmyray]

Waste of time.

Agreed. Controlled by States, not congress.

[goodnesswins]

UH....in Oregon it’s ALL Mail In voting......no purple fingers here....s’pose we could send in a copy of our driver’s license?

[tj21807]

Great idea, but it will never happen.

For two reasons:

1. The Dems have control of the House and Senate, why would they pass a law that would stop their union thugs, homeless, and college students from voting multiple times? That would take possibly hundreds of thousands of votes away from Dems.

2. Not sure if the national gov. could pass this law as it is states that establish the procedures for voting.

[Roccus]

Be much better to address the Secretaries Of State of the fifty United States rather than Congress..........still won’t make a difference though.

[mysterio]

We have this law at the polls in Indiana. It’s a pretty good one.

[bornred]

Controlled by States, not congress.

Has that ever stopped them before?

[SunkenCiv]

Big poll FReep.

[shield]

Why the SOS's of each state. It would have to be passed by that state, the sos has no control of voter ID.

OBTW, Soros in funding each SOS election in each state....needs lefties in those positions. You can see what is taking place in Ohio.

[BobbyT]

We need 2 requirements to put a serious dent in vote fraud:

1. Show a photo-bearing ID (driver’s license, passport, or state ID)
2. Finger dipped in permanent ink

Good luck getting those who benefit from the fraud to do something to prevent it...

[Born In America]

Done....

[Jo Nuvark]

This is a great idea. But knowing the liberals in
Congress they will go too far and demand that all
registered voters have a mark tatooed on their forehead
or on the back of their hand.

[Peelod]

The dilution of my franchise is a federal civil rights issue under Admt’s 14 & 15.

[AirForceMom]

That was fun.......maybe too much fun after a few Jack Daniels..........hmmmmmm. Hillary and Chuckie are my senators (GAG).

[RetSignman]

Would my absentee ballot have to be purple?

[CharlotteVRWC]

nice way to send a petition...up over 900 on the list so far...

[Faith]

Keep this bumped.

[hope]

Wow, I never thought about that...I’m sure they’ll think of that next...

[hope]

Oh my...I’d have to drink JD too!

[AirForceMom]

Just hope I didn’t write anything that will warrant a knock on my door tomorrow...I have laundry to do. ;)

[DHC-2]

.....purple fingers

You mean purple finger ... SINGULAR ... remember Dems have 10 fingers! :-)

[beckysueb]

Can you guys lobby to be able to vote at voting precincts like the rest of the country?

[WesternPacific]

Would not let me submit my letter to Congress from an FPO Asia address?????

[Pikachu_Dad]

PURPLE FINGERS...

[judsonlegacy]

So if your license is expired and you can’t renew it you’re out of luck?

[VastRWCon]

ACORN came down my street today (ACORN Ice Cream Truck):

[judsonlegacy]

How many people has it disenfranchised?

[VastRWCon]

Totally Agree and would be 100% for it. PURPLE FINGERS!

[lainie]

NO.

We can’t force people to obtain government-issued identification in order to exercise their rights.

[judsonlegacy]

Oregon should get rid of mail-in voting and add early voting like some other states have.

[judsonlegacy]

I’m okay with the finger in permanent ink, but what if your license is expired and you can’t renew it?

[goodnesswins]

Not sure what you mean...the whole state is mail in ...

[judsonlegacy]

Actually, now that you mention it, I think it would make a great initiative proposal for 2010.

[judsonlegacy]

Wouldn’t getting rid of mail-in voting make a great initiative proposal for 2010?

[LiveFreeOrDie2001]

Done.

Bump!

[goodnesswins]

Well....I don’t know that you can get rid of it totally....we have traveled enough to be often out of town on election days...BUT, sure would like to see some way to verify each ballot, i.e. send in a copy of your driver’s license??? Soc Sec # (can’t believe I just typed THAT!)....but SOMETHING TO guarantee one vote to one person who is really alive.

[mysterio]

I’m not sure. I know you probably posted that flippantly, but there is a danger of that with any new law. However, considering I have to show ID to do anything anymore, showing ID to vote doesn’t seem that high of a threshold.

[judsonlegacy]

I’m a little sensitive because I do not have a copy of my birth certificate and can’t afford to pay for one. So when it is required to vote I will stop voting unless my income improves.

I do seem to recall there were some elderly nuns who were turned away at the polls because they didn’t have ID.

[mysterio]

I'm sorry to hear of your situation. I think even if your state does start requiring photo ID, you can get a photo ID without a birth certificate. If you ever run into that situation, send me a Freepmail and I will do my best to google the rules of your state so that you can vote.

No matter what happens, do not stop voting.

[jimmyray]

I’m a little sensitive because I do not have a copy of my birth certificate and can’t afford to pay for one. So when it is required to vote I will stop voting unless my income improves.

I'm of the opinion that only those who own property and pay income/property taxes should have the right to vote.
