Coca-Cola ends ties to conservative law writers | US National Headlines | Comcast (http://xfinity.comcast.net/articles/news-national/20120405/US.Voter.ID.Coca.Cola/?cid=hero_media - broken link)
WASHINGTON — Coca-Cola Co. has terminated its relationship with a conservative group seen by some as an incubator for a string of new state voter ID laws and a marketer of laws like Florida's "Stand Your Ground" self-defense statute.
The Atlanta-based soft drink maker said its focus with the American Legislative Exchange Council, or ALEC, was on combating "discriminatory" food and beverage taxes, not on issues "that have no direct bearing" on its business.

Nice to know. Perhaps those who belive in free and fair elections should boycott Coke. I write as I sip on my Pepsi!

I guess I will have to drink a Dr. Pepper since Coke is no longer legal for drinking. Nah, I was hell bent on getting out a Coke and guess I will do just that.
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.
How would an ID disenfranchise a poor person? IDs are free.
And why is an ID good only for a rich person? Why is it not also good for anyone who wants to have a positive ID?
So do poor people not buy draino? You have to have an ID to buy draino in Chicago. Are poor people disenfranchised to the point of not being able to clean their drains?
And an ID to get a gun. Do poor people not own guns?
And an ID to get alcohol. Do poor people not drink alcohol?
The Voter ID issue seemed to be kicked in or brought up strongly once Obama was elected, if everyone on the Right was so concerned with hispanics I'm sure the Repub's would have whined years ago, but no, Bush needed some of their votes, I read he didn't want to do that in an election year, that's in a post I did awhile ago with a link.
It no doubt was planned in a backroom when they knew Obama may be running for President. What a cult.
I think if you were to do a little checking instead of just, well never mind.
It's not working folks. I passed 2 Wallymarts today and both parking lots were jammed full.
