Photo IDs


I have heard lots of talk in the recent days discussing this Photo ID requirement before a person can vote. Well the Democrats don't think people should be required to produce a Photo ID when they vote. The Dems are on the "No ID" side of the argument While the Republicans think requiring a Photo ID would help eliminate the possibility of individuals voting using the name of another registered voter. At this point the law requiring a PID to vote is being deemed unconstitutional by this administration.

It appears those opposed to a voter being required to show a PID, is they fear someone will feel offended at being asked to produce this type of an ID. To me feeling offended is not reason enough to do away with the PID requirement. To me it seems the Dems are trying very hard indeed to portray asking for a PID  falls in the same category as racism and when you call on someone to produce this type of ID they want to say it's the same thing as asking someone for a "Poll Tax". Plus at the same time your being a racist when you do this.

There is objections when you bring up the subject of voting and having to use a PID. And one of those objections is about the cost of the ID, which the Dems suggest there's no way people can come up with that extra money because they have to spend that money for something else. Of course there are always variations of the excuses why people can't buy  PIDs but their favorite seems to be, they don't have a car so there is just not any need for a drivers license. They fail to mention that regular state IDs can be purchased at the same window as Drivers License  plus you don't even have to waste the time on a driving test. Each time an excuse comes up for not having a picture ID and for whatever reason, the potential voter comes up with, you can be assured the Democrat party will be in agreement because they have a selfish motive.

The cost for a PID is generally fifteen/twenty dollars. Many of the states that recently passed laws which require a PID are offering free or reduced prices for people who can't afford the money to pay for the IDs. Regardless of all the objections the left keeps throwing out concerning PIDs the closer the next big election gets to us and with that closeness comes the greater possibility for some individual to pull the lever against one candidate and when they do that it will make the legitimate vote of some legal voter null and void. That's right, because of some imagined offense against some imagined individual the Democrat party is willing to flush down the drain, the vote of a legitimate American voter all in the name of some pretended racial offense. This is complete stupidity brought to a new low.

This United States of America became the greatest country in the history of mankind in part due to our Constitution and being a country of laws. Among the many blessings derived from that great work which established rule of law was that law which gave every legal person a voice in their every day lives and in the workings of "our" government and established the law which gave voting rights to qualified citizens. For America to continue with this success citizens must do their part through voting, and when that is done it helps assure this country will retain its' greatness.

It's imperative that we all follow the law and one of the ways which helps this country to work is we all have a stake in what happens. That is done in America by eligible persons participating in and voicing their opinions through the voting process. Voting in elections is a very special responsibility not to be taken lightly and our voting rights must never allowed  to be abused or misused in any manner. Whenever an ineligible person votes in an election that vote robs a legitimate voter of their vote. It does not matter if it is one or one hundred people who cast an ineligible vote because when that illegal vote happens it wipes out the legal vote of some individual who has lived, worked, paid their share, and earned his or her right to vote.

There has been an awesome price paid in blood and lives by our military to secure the voting rights of Americans and it is our combined responsibility to make sure elections stay fair and honest for every Citizen of this great country. This right of voting should never be taken lightly and it must not be allowed to be abused by anyone and people who are ineligible should NEVER  be given the slightest chance to pull that lever and void even one single American vote.

This last statement about photo IDs is plain and simple. Check cashing in banks require a picture ID. Want to see certain movies you have to present a PID. Want to rent certain things your required to present an ID with photo. The list gets longer but the story stays the same. The Dems are together against this type of ID and say voter fraud isn't a problem, that there's no need for the PIDs law. Dems like to defend their position by saying that requiring voters to present a PID keeps people from being allowed to vote.

I do have to be truthful, Obama/Holder are very serious about photo ids. The Obama/Holder administration however is worried about a stranger going into a federal building and on this they strongly back the law requiring a Photo ID to enter federal buildings, but at the same time neither Obama or Holder are worried if some stranger walks into the voting booth and steals a legal American vote from its rightful owner. No not worried at all, for them no PID in that case is just fine and perfectly alright.

For the Soldiers, Airmen, Sailors, Guard, Marines, all the men and women who have paid that final price with their life I'd like to say to them and those who may read this, those people paid a hell of a price. Some of them may  never even gone to pull that lever and vote, they were that young. I can bet if they could have the chance to make it to the polls now... I bet they'd be willing to come up with the 20 bucks to get an ID so they could vote and in fact, I'd be willing to bet more than I even have that given the chance they would throw down a hell of a lot more than that 20 bucks for one final chance to do what they died for.

To those against a PID, those brave souls gave their lives so you could pull the lever and choose whoever you believed would serve you best. Those lives are now gone, given up so that you can now complain about how life is too tough for you to come up with 20 bucks for a damn Photo ID. I said 15/20 bucks for an ID, that is chump change my friends. Compared to what those brave people gave, that's chump change. To any out there not willing to do whatever it takes to get a picture ID, then I say to you, "You don't deserve to vote in the first damn place".
