Democratic officials Wednesday launched a two-pronged attack on states with new laws requiring identification before voting, the highlight being a call to boycott Coke, Walmart and others that back a leading organization pushing for voter ID laws.
“We are organizing. We are not agonizing,” said Rep. James Clyburn, D-S.C., who is leading a parallel Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee’s effort to get government identification into the hands of the estimated 2-3 million Democrats who don’t have one. “We have staffed up,” he said.
Officials from another party-backed group, Color of Change, kicked off a boycott of Coke and other financial backers of the American Legislative Exchange Council which supports new voter ID laws. Other supporters include Walmart and Koch Industries. The boycott call started with a tweet (@CocaCola is helping undermine voting rights. Tell them to stop) and a webpage. The group also has tied the Council to the Trayvon Martin shooting case.
Looks like I need to start buying more coke and shopping at walmart.
I was kinda thinking the same thing...
except I haven't shopped at a Walmart in a long long time. That Walmart flavor hasn't changed; it is just too big and hectic for me - I'll pass.
Just show an I.D./proof of who you are, kind of a simple thing - at
the voting booth or when you register to vote and then vote by mail.
Voter fraud is not a big issue in this country and hasn't been for many decades. The movement is about disenfranchising the poor, who vote Democrat (when they bother to vote). As usual though, the conservative base has been duped into supporting something that's only good for the rich.
James Clyburn is a walking farce....a play on wheels....a jingoistic sideshow that his stakeholders can't even afford to attend.
I bet if you asked the average black person who James Clyburn is, they'd look at you cross-eyed.
