If you need help or know someone who needs help obtaining a photo i.d., send me a personal message and I will help you get it.
Good effort Phanya.
We will have to get as many people registered as possible in certain swing states because we cannot stop all republican efforts to suppress the dem vote.
Soldarity.
It isn't just registering. In AZ you can register without photo i.d. by using the National Registration Form (after three court hearings), but you still cannot VOTE without the photo i.d. Getting the i.d. requires going to the DMV for a drivers's or non-operator's license, which takes time and money that a lot of people do not have. So, it's both that need doing, really.
mail-ins require no ID still I think, more GOP vote by mail....
I am looking into that. The website for arizona voting info indicates next election is 8.28, so I guess one would have to wait until the next day to get absentee ballot for November. This should not be so complicated!
I know we vote in Glendale, mayor for one
Aah I see. It is an insidious effort by repubs. Good luck. There will be many people left out of this election.
I hope the repubs do not succeed at this new effort at cheating. They cannot win without cheating.
That alone speaks volumes. They do not care what happens to the country or most of its people because they think they are super strategists who gained enough control to win with only republicans voting. Let's hope they are blatant enough that all democrats who can vote do vote. There is a gigantic difference between the parties, and I personally feel it will be much easier to effect real change at the grass roots level only if Republicans do not win. I'm retired, and will not be personally affected too much either way, but anyone under 50 will suffer the consequences for a very long time.
I think you got it just right. Grass roots change will bestifled by republican wins.
There is more hope if dems are elected and their feet held to the fire by OWS type movements.
Electing progressives, voting out vote supressing republicans and protests.
"It's the only way to be sure"!
If each voting progressive sees to it that just one other person votes who otherwise would not or could not, we will double our power. Imagine if we each get two people, and then they get two people, etc. That is our power, and it does not require a lot of money.
Excellent strategy and most valuable, most important in swing states especially. Arizona looks pretty red now but I think if your strategy is followed there the dems could win.
Luck
Why would you vote for an adminstration who has had such a devistating affect on the economy that the age group from 18 to 28 are at 26% unemployment.
Do you have a job and are you better off today then you were 3.5 years ago. Readers want to know.
From what I have been reading on this forum tht is not the case - just more of the same - unemployment going up along with government spending to exceede the 16 trillion dollar makr.
Justify that.
I have always recognized that conservatives believe that President Obama is incredibly smart and capable, or they would never expect him to be able to solve a massive problem created by reckless governance over at least 7 years, and do it in three years, without a hint of help from those who allowed the collapse in the first place. He is very smart and capable, yes, but, c'mon guys, he's not a god.
The economy is struggling because your republicans crashed it (along with their 1% plutocrat puppet masters) and created the worst recission in 70 years.
We were losing 750K jobs per month under your boy Bush! Now we are added hundreds of thousands every month. We've added almost 4 million in almost 3 years. the recovery would be much stronger of not for your republican obstruction.
So if we can get Pres Obamas recovery plan passed we will do just fine. If we let the right wing wacko conservative 1% plutocrat puppets get in and implement more of the "tinkle down" economics we will crash the economy again.
the economy is struggling due to an outdated work ethic
and the efficiency of machines own as private capitol
Ok. And the 1% plutocrats have rigged the system to suck up all the wealth and keep the 99% as wage slaves, and indebted servants.
right
through interest and fractional loaning
Wow. that's kinda beyond my paygrade but I believe you.
You didn't answer the question - there is 26% unemployment with the age group of 18 to 25 - I guess that's ok with you.
Lets not forget that the president has "executive priviledge" and can change any law he wants. So, I don't see it as a republican problem I see it as a presidential problem.
That don't make sense. The unemployment problem was created by the great recession the Bush & his 1% cronies created.
Executive priviledge does not allow the Pres to do what he wants. And the Repubs in congress has slowed the recovery by obstructing every attempt to create jobs.
Oh really I don't ever recall the 18 to 28 age group having 26% unemployment during the Bush reign.
Sure they did This unemployment crises began at the end of 2007 and got continually worse until June 2009 when Pres Obama stimulus kicked in (watered down by repubs) so the high unemployment hit a peek around that time and has gotten better slowly, slightly ever since. Would have gotten better faster but repubs have obstructed all efforts to create jobs
So, spending 5 trillion solved the problem didn't it? Now we have banks sitting on billions of dollars and no one can get a loan. Wonder why?
'cause banks are the 1% criminals that crashed the economy and continue to drag their feet because they don't want an economic recovery during a dem presidency? especially after the dems passed fin reform (that repubs watered down forthe banks)
And what cost 5 trillion dollars?
Do you know anything about these important issues?
Vote out anti tinkle down republicans
The important issues as I see it is the following:
Jobs - where are the jobs that were promised
Balanced budget - where is the balanced budget that was promised
Lower unemployment - where is the 6% that was promised
As I stated in a similar post I will be willing to bet anyone on this site $100.00 that if Obama is re-elected, the debt will clime to over 17 trillion in two years.
Is that the way to improve the economy - I don't think so. Do I have any takers?
It is not all about the Obama. It is about a government that has a large quantity of members rebelling against the people - that are supporting/promoting profits over people - these rebels are corpoRATist's and they are hiding behind the repub banner and the dem banner - and they have all got to be removed from office.
I don't disagree with you - it is a government problem so lets look forward and be concerned about what needs to happen instead of being concerned about what already has happened.
The election has not happened. CorpoRATist's need to be kept out of office - petition campaigns like Move to Amend need to be supported. The people need to be educated and brought on board - this will happen in the streets on the internet and in the voting booth.
The economy was crashed by the republicans! The recovery has been weak because of the republican obstruction. The debt will continue to rise until the republicans learn to play nice and compromise.
All these items will be resolved when republicans start behaving like adults and working to implement the progressive solutions that we need.
The card mailed to me and every registered voter in Pima County, Arizona includes on the back info about ID options. I hope this is helpful to Phana and those in need of acceptable ID.

Thank you! There is a good website with this kind of information for all states: www.thisismyvote.org sponsored by NAACP. Now all we have to do is get the people registered and to the polls.
We need people like you in every state.http://occupywallst.org/forum/if-you-are-planning-to-vote-this-november-the-rule/
