I too was actively involved in registering voters in the south in the 1960s. But something about the name Silphia Horton rang a bell with me. <BR/><BR/>Silphia Horton was one of the authors of the 60s civil rights anthem, "We Shall Overcome". Obviously, she didn't leave the comment on my blog but someone who shared her sentiments did and for whatever reason, maybe poignant symbolism signed under the name of Silphia Horton. <BR/><BR/>The comment shall stay.

You have the means and the funds to get a MO DL, what about someone who doesn't own a car. <BR/><BR/>I am old enough to remember poll taxes and voter tests in the south. It was less than 50 years ago that some black voters in GA and AL had to pass literacy tests and citizenship tests before they were allowed to vote. <BR/><BR/>I know because I was there registering them. A voter photo id law is no better than a poll tax or a citizenship test and will be used as those were in a pathetic attempt to stop people from exercising their lawful rights. And anyone who says otherwise is not a very good student of history. <BR/><BR/>The 1965 Voting Rights Act prohibited the states from using literacy tests, interpreting the Constitution, and other methods of excluding people from voting. <BR/><BR/>The Photo ID law is a pathetic attempt by the republican majority to disenfranchise poor and minority group voters.<BR/><BR/>Surely Jason, you are not as bigoted as your comments make you appear. <BR/><BR/>Bus, sorry for hijacking the thread, but this is an important issue with me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7192121651732249695.post-90214147733873553842008-05-15T19:50:00.000-05:002008-05-15T19:50:00.000-05:00Just another viewpoint, here in the State of Flor...Just another viewpoint, here in the State of Florida, yeah I am aware of our reputation, we need to show some sort of picture id when we vote. While for me it has always been a FL DL, I have noticed others at the Precinct with a Bank Card but they always had to have a Voter Registration Card in addition. <BR/><BR/>Good Luck to the ShowMe state and I sincerely hope you are not the Florida of 2000.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7192121651732249695.post-43729306053081329622008-05-15T16:21:00.000-05:002008-05-15T16:21:00.000-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Jasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12135948989681831504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7192121651732249695.post-69670261058724280782008-05-15T16:07:00.000-05:002008-05-15T16:07:00.000-05:00Jason, when you voted, what form of identification...Jason, when you voted, what form of identification did you use to verify that you were who you said you were?Busplungehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15330613997333646488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7192121651732249695.post-39123488356935438092008-05-15T15:52:00.000-05:002008-05-15T15:52:00.000-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Jasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12135948989681831504noreply@blogger.com
