URGENT PHOTO VOTER ID HEARING: TUESDAY, MARCH 2‏

An interesting post from www.ircot.com about the Voter I.D. law in Texas. This follows this post about a company undermining a law against ILLEGAL immigration in Indiana and this post which shows that there are 30,000 openly illegal immigrants in the border town of El Paso. On a related note, you can read about Miss Kentucky Latina here, an interesting article about Jessica Alba here or another article about Salma Hayek here.

"NO AMNESTY - NO EXCUSES - NO SURRENDER"



















URGENT PHOTO VOTER ID HEARING TUESDAY, MARCH 1






COMMITTEE: Voter Identification & Voter Fraud, Select






TIME & DATE: 8:00 AM, Tuesday, March 01, 2011






PLACE: JHR 140 CHAIR: Rep. Dennis Bonnen














Rep. Dennis Bonnen issued a press release this afternoon announcing that the Photo Voter ID Bill (SB 14) will be heard in committee Tuesday, March 1st. According to the press release, "testimony on both sides of this critical issue will be given full consideration during the hearing."






Senate Bill 14 in its pure form is a true Photo Voter ID. Of the nine amendments added to the bill, two of these offered by Republicans substantially weaken the bill. Amendment F-35 added by Sen. Dan Patrick, WOULD ALLOW ANYONE WITH A HANDICAP PARKING PERMIT AN EXEMPTION FROM PRESENTING A PHOTO ID. In Harris County alone, over 480,000 permits exist. This is clearly a black hole which would encourage additional fraud.






Amendment F-40 by Sen. Robert Duncan allows exemptions for indigent persons to go to their voter registration office and claim they are not able TO TRAVEL TO A DEPT. OF PUBLIC SAFETY OFFICE TO OBTAIN A PHOTO VOTER ID AND THEY ARE AUTOMATICALLY ADDED TO THE VOTER ROLLS. This amendment also gives AN EXEMPTION TO INDIVIDUALS WHO CLAIM THAT HAVING THEIR PICTURE TAKEN IS AGAINST THEIR RELIGIOUS BELIEFS.






Call the Members of the Select Committee on Voter ID and Voter Fraud and urge them to


SUPPORT SENATE BILL 14 IN ITS ORIGINAL FORM


STRIP ALL AMENDMENTS FROM THE BILL. THESE AMENDMENTS SUBSTANTIALLY WEAKEN THE BILL.






As always, please be respectful when you call.
