Comments on: Carey: Voter suppression could ‘derail’ LGBT progress http://www.washingtonblade.com/2012/01/27/carey-voter-surpression-could-derail-lgbt-progress/ the gay community's news source Sat, 18 May 2013 11:27:40 +0000 hourly 1 By: Erica Cook http://www.washingtonblade.com/2012/01/27/carey-voter-surpression-could-derail-lgbt-progress/#comment-42916 Erica Cook Mon, 30 Jan 2012 21:45:03 +0000 http://www.washingtonblade.com/?p=34860#comment-42916 Okay, this isn’t going to be a very popular opinion, but I’ve voted every election since I was 18, and honestly the Driver’s license rule makes it easier. I don’t have to worry about if I have my voter’s registration, they keep that for me, All I have to do is prove I’m me. I think what we need to do is push for a free ID that’s valid at voting time for those who can’t afford or don’t need a driver’s license.

This is just left wing fantasy that all minority groups flock together. MD marriage rights, if lost at the polls, will go down in large part due to african american voters – that is even a fact the anti-marriage folks are proclaiming.

Marriage does not include nearly the same numbers of persons that are effected by either it’s success or failure.

Conservatives are turning back the clock on voters rights to access the voting booth. Ensure that everyone you know with issues related to identification and/or documentation have your assistance to ensure our community is heard from in 2012. We as a community can not allow these right-wing anti-freedom legislators to destroy our right to live openly and happily in our own country.

Persuade any “log Cabin Republican” to think about who they support. God forbid they vote republican at all, but if they do they’d better be careful in who they think will represent their interests.
