So ... there were photo ID's in 1789? Otherwise I can't understand how the "Founding Fathers" could have identified themselves. No. The "Photo ID" requirement is a voter suppression gambit. Look in your wallet. Now, remove your driver’s license. Now, do you have a "Photo ID" remaining? (Social Security cards and the like are not "Photo ID's.") If not, you might want to pay to get one from a government agency for a small fee. Consider this: that minimal fee would be considered a large fee by people living in poverty. Such a person might go for food and shelter first. This is voter suppression pure and simple. 5,000,000 people are losing their ability to vote. These are not members of the ruling elite. Rather, they are the poor and disadvantaged, the very people who might not vote for conservative causes such as cutting food stamps and the like.

The Tea Party, GLBT People and Occupy
Tea Party Speaker Reportedly Tells LGBT Protesters: 'We Will Not Be Silenced By Faggots'
I responded to a comment elicited by the above named article:
Comment on Huffington Post April 16, 2012 2:00 PM PSDT.
As I was answering the above post, I was told that it had been removed already. But here is my response.
Turn of your TV, Fox News, no doubt, and visit some occupy sites. The ruling elites will discredit any movement that has the potential of bringing in a new social order. When I was at Occupy DC , they were feeding homeless people. There was free library. There was no rape and no illegal activity other than attempting to secure the commons ... a non-monetized island of freedom amidst a capitalist utopia. Occupy Sacramento was also feeding homeless people. Meanwhile, the local authorities raided a homeless camp on the Sacramento River . The Sacramento City budget slashed $700,000 for homeless shelters. Now the city is offering to come up with $255,000,000 to house the Sacramento Kings.

The War on Women
Mitt Romney has a problem here. The Republicans have a problem here. This is because people are becoming aware. Perhaps we are evolving. First of all, the Republican stance toward women is based upon a patriarchal past where women in the west had practically no rights except the privileges open to them for economic and sexual exploitation. Secondly, issues such as abortion, equal pay and, dare I say, equal rights amount to an effort by men to control women, to keep them under their authority. After all, it is predominantly men who write and vote for legislation regarding women's reproductive rights. Women are expected to obey. If the war on women continues unabated, I can see the day when young girls will be emailing their Congress MEN for advice on feminine hygiene. Really! Wake up.
