I 'm not buying it.
No matter your income there is no way that you can not come up with the very small amount needed (if indeed needed at all) to secure and ID.

I know better from first hand experience.

There is an on-line process at Texas Vital Statistics

Here's how to apply for a birth certificate off-line


I am also willing to help you find someone in your community to physically get you to those places too - just PM me.
I love it! You're calling his bluff.

Hey. Do you RWNJ's realize that if you get an Government ID the government not only knows where you live but more importantly it knows you exist. To regulate something you have to first know it exists. You guys fight gun registration with all your might but you support registering yourselves? Why?

Sounds like some people need ID's and some people get by in life without IDs
and those who get by W/O, shall not vote..
The only reason to oppose having ID to vote, is so the democrats can fill the polls with illegals, no other reason..
Another example of the corruption of the obama WH

Then to balance out your charge against the GOP, you must admit that the progressives 'feed upon' the minoritties, and those with lower iqs. Only that explains the demagoguing - pushing granny off the cliff - that is the stock and trade of progressives in this country. The minorities and those with lower IQs will vote progressive if enough half-truths, distortions and damn lies are fed.

You don't need to be a brain surgeon to know the GOP despises the poorest of the poor

It may be that you have a lower IQ that you can get that this has nothing to do with the "average" IQ of "liberal" voter compared to "right wing" voter.

Who says your home address must be on your ID? I do not receive mail at home, instead I use a rental mailbox that appears like an apartment address (123 Happy St, # 789) and that is the address that appears on my license.

People are already "registered" when they are very young since their parents apply for an SS number on behalf of the child.

Why should people who are deliberating hiding from our government and the rest of society be allowed to vote for government officials who are representing the rest of us? If you want to go underground and live off the grid, fine... but don't mess with our election process.

Either you are with us and a productive part of society, or you are not.

Seems to me that the homeless street folks and those in nursing homes are'nt the type that are going to the polls anyway. Many of those in the nursing homes no longer have the mentality to vote.

I live in a rural area and even here we have repetative government transportation services that take poor, elderly and handicapped folks where ever they need to go. There are also (and I have done this myself) volunteers that will transport people to and from the polls and do whatever is necessary to get people registered and able to vote. So I dont buy into this ID hardship. Whats the big deal with getting an ID. Most people need an ID for various transactions in their daily lives. Again, if your the type person that never needs ID for anything then your probably not the type person that keeps up with politics or really cares enough to get out and vote.

Don't concern yourself, the government is already well aware of all of that.
