The controversy over requiring voters to provide photo IDs has reached the world stage.
The United Nations Human Rights Council is investigating the issue of American election laws at its gathering on minority rights in Geneva, Switzerland.. This, despite the fact that some members of the council have only in the past several years allowed women to vote, and one member, Saudi Arabia, still bars women from the voting booth completely.
Officials from the NAACP are presenting their case against U.S. voter ID laws, arguing to the international diplomats that the requirements disenfranchise voters and suppress the minority vote.
Eight states have passed voter ID laws in the past year, voter ID proposals are pending in 32 states and the Obama administration has recently moved to block South Carolina and Texas from enacting their voter ID measures.
"This really is a tactic that undercuts the growth of your democracy," said Hillary Shelton, the NAACP's senior vice president for advocacy, about voter photo ID requirements.
In a Fox News interview prior to his trip, Shelton said the message from the NAACP delegation to the Human Rights Council is that the photo ID law "undercuts the integrity of our government, if you allow it to happen. It's trickery, it's a sleight-of-hand. We're seeing it happen here and we don't want it to happen to you, and we are utilizing the U.N. as a tool to make sure that we are able to share that with those countries all over the world."

A subset of Democrats are purely evil undermining the sovereignty of the United States. They are known as: “the Left”.

Done, Sir.
I even got out of bed to do it, too! You rascal. ;>
LOL! Hope you at least fell asleep wearing your boots.
Panetta's testimony, Constitution Flouted On War If Panetta Testimony To Congress Says Anything, seemed to indicate something has changed. A legal basis has changed somewhere and it was more or less missed by even conservatives. Several articles attempt to allude to this change, Obama Syndicates Panetta: Congress is no Longer relevant governmental body, but with the way they are hiding things in several pieces of legislation it may not show itself until it is too late. Or it is worded so vaguely as to appear too convoluted for easy interpretation.
Consider the whole abortion thing that has just come to light with the $1 premium that has been tacked on for elective abortions. Even the 0bamacare act has parts buried and hidden in bail-out and stimulus legislation prior to their enactment.
Something, somewhere has been missed in those thousands of pieces of legislation passed in the last 3.5 years. While we certainly were not sleeping these past few years, they had us good and distracted with hot button topics. They had congress passing bills to, "see what's in it," Pelosi said.
I have never been a big birther advocate. Sure when the topic was first broached I was into trying to understand what was going on, but with what has been happening. I am coming more and more to the conclusion we've got to get this be relevant. As much as I have felt it a losing battle and it is time to let it go...I am maybe changing my mind. That birth certificate is the lynch pin to undoing all of this legislation. That battle to find all these hidden agenda things is darn near impossible, but a Party and President that usurped the office of the Presidency under fraudulent methods would stop all these laws in their tracks. Why spend all that money hiding it? Because it does matter. It matters more than the Congress or Presidency itself to the whole of the agenda.
Impeachment on individual high crimes doesn't do it. It has to be about that darn birth certificate. As wonky as I sound this morning, we have got to find it. We have got to find a way. We know now what this treasonous end is. They have been counting on us not realizing it, until it is too late. They are counting on "the birthers" to be marginalized as wonky. He has produced at least two fraudulent BC during his elected offices.
There is the glitch. Flashing a document in front of the public is meaningless legally. Where else has he had to produce a BC as part of the official record?
Can you even really imagine community activists wearing a UN uniform showing up as poll monitors in November? Acting under 'international law' to assure a free and fair election? Can you imagine "activists" like this when you go to vote?
Our time is growing very short.
Bump
Only property owners should be allowed to vote.
They are the stakeholders.
“start voting from the roof tops.”
No, that would skyline you and make escape difficult. Use a window and building with easy exits. Or watch Red Dawn for tips.
Oh man, that is priceless... :-)
BTW...heres how the adults north and south of us handle this issue..
Heres How Canada Verifies...

and Mexico
.heres how they deal with voter fraud issues south of the border....and ..its all you need to know about the treasonous, malignant American Left....
...the Mexican Voter I.D. card has NINE security characteristics, including a fingerprint, a photograph, watermarks and holograms. What is more, in Mexico, the lists of electors that are distributed to political parties include the photo and the full name and address of the electors.

and if WE dont start doing so..there is very little incentive to continue to voluntarily support the Feds every April 15th.
Make no mistake, the coming of blue helmets to our shores is a certainty if Mr. obamugabe retains power. Set your scopes on blue detection.
Some of us count national id as Social Security cards. I have had one for decades.
I live in California and we have always had to provide ID to vote. They take your ID and check you off the list.
I don’t understand why it says no voted ID law here. Maybe ID is just for legal citizens.
That’s why we’re a Constitutional Republic
It is also why we are a “nation of laws and not men.”
I believe this should be in a past tense. Our Constitution is a dead letter. In reality, none of the three branches of the federal government recognize any restraint as against each other, and the federal government recognizes no restraint in its exercise of power over the states, or the people. All of our public institutions and mass media are complicit in this.
What a joke.
No blue helmets are coming to this country. They don’t have to. Another Freeper (I don’t recall who) had the best take on it. It went something like: “I waited in the field with my rifle, waiting for the communist paratroopers to fall from the sky. While I was waiting they were elected to office instead.”
It pretty much sums up my attitude.
No don't worry about what Obama and the Democrats are doing (like subverting the Constitution) just pay attention to the Dog and Pony show we have to show you.

Amazing just amazing....
Bring the “Blue Helmets” to Texas, where we call them “TARGETS” !!!
I would suggest that if some smarmy UN creep show up at a polling place asking questions, call the cops and have him arrested for vagrancy.
