Talk about hysterical BS!

Joseph -

With their future looking bleak, Republicans are turning to new ways to hold on to power. In state legislatures across the country, they are trying to create new laws restricting voting rights.
Our first battleground is the Missouri legislature and it's happening right now. A bill requiring voters to present proof of citizenship threatens to deny hundreds of thousands of citizens their right to vote - and Republicans hope to pass it in time to affect the November election.
We must stop this assault on our democracy. Chip in $20 today to power DFA's campaign to protect the right to vote.
CONTRIBUTE NOW
Yesterday we launched our Protect the Right to Vote campaign and the response has been tremendous.
With your support today, we'll have the resources to beat this Republican backdoor power grab. Delivering petition signatures, calling elected leaders, building a coalition and mobilizing boots on the ground with a people-powered field plan, we won't stop until our right to vote is protected from desperate Republicans.
In recent weeks, at least 19 states have moved to pass similar measures to the Missouri bill. When we beat them in Missouri, it will stop them in their tracks nationwide. Your $20 gives DFA the resources to win in Missouri and beyond.
CONTRIBUTE TODAY
Thank you for taking action.
-Charles


OMG, we will now require proof of citizenship before letting you vote. Guess that will eliminate all the non-citizens from voting!

Too bad Mr. Illegal Alien, no vote for you!

Depending on how they are wanting you to prove citizenship, I might or might not have an issue with it. For instance, if you are needing to have a Driver's License and the DOT has things in place to prove citizenship, why is that bad?

How is the illegal alien going to get a voter's registration card? You do have to show this to vote in Missouri. You must apply for it, but it is free, unlike the identification that they want to require.

I don't know but in WI, you have to be a citizen to vote and serve on a jury. Before I got to be a citizen, I had been asked to vote and serve on a jury. I had to tell them at least 2 times that I was NOT a citizen.

What does this have to do with illegal aliens? I assume that you had a driver's license, since this is typically how names get added to jury pools.

The funny thing about the few cases of voter fraud has been with absentee ballots. Not retired nuns going to the polling place.

Somehow, I have this feeling that will all the other things illegal aliens have to worry about, this issue is not one of the top ten on their hit parade.

You think?

Political propaganda, designed to keep us busy, while the two parties in charge, continue to rape our wallets.
