The American Civil Liberties Union sued the State of Wisconsin on Tuesday over a new law requiring voters to show government-issued photo identification, charging that the measure violates the U.S. Constitution.
Is want happens in the State of Wisconsin going to be a warning sign to the American people for what is to come if they choose the vote Republican or even vote for a Republican President in the 2012 election?
Republicans who control the state Legislature passed a law earlier this year that requires voters to produce photo identification at the polls beginning with this February's election. A driver's license, U.S. passport, a student ID that expires within two years, a state-issued ID card or a military ID will qualify.
In a news release, the ACLU noted that Alabama, Kansas, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee and Texas also recently passed voter ID laws. The ACLU called them "voter suppression laws" and said they disproportionately affect minorities, the elderly, students, disabled people, and low-income and homeless voters.
Don't let them vote because they might vote for the Democrats.
A new Republican-backed law say it gives emergency managers necessary tools to fix financial problems. In other words, giving the Republican Gov. Rick Snyder absolute power and at the same time ignoring the will of the people! They can break contracts, dismiss elected officials and sell public utilities. No matter what voter decide about this law, Gov. Rick Snyder has the power to overrule the will of the people! And we call this American Democracy!
Are Republicans on the way to abolish after more than 200 years the American Democracy of the people and instead introduce the new “Authoritarian Democracy of Corporation”?
More than 200 years American was the beacon of true Democracy. However, since the Regan years a true shift to a new form of Democracy was introduced.
A Democracy, in which only benefits the wealthiest which makes up 1% in the United States.
A Democracy, where the rest 99% have to pay for the deficit created by banks and speculators.
