I live in a fairly small town where I have known my State Farm agent for 20 years.
When asked about ALEC he claimed they didn't support it then suggested we could cancel if we wanted.
We did right away.
He has forgotten that the customer is his paycheck.
I urge everyone to drop State Farm like the sick company that they are!
Hello,
Thank you for the comment. I am not sure which picture you mean? The first two photos were taken by CMD, and the final was sent out as an email by 350.org to everyone that attended the event.
Best,
Sara
Thank you for this great piece. BUT please, if you're not going to link the photos directly to the source, add credit for the photographer's photos you are using. This is a huge problem in this industry. I understand that under certain licenses you don't HAVE to but it's considerate to your readers as well if we want to see more.Thanks.
I don't know why you consider following the rules for voter registration 'harder'. Not knowing what the process is makes it seem harder, possibly. My daughter filled out the paperwork (very easy), presented her information (a couple of bills with her address & her drivers ID) to the county and had the Voter ID card within a week. I do not believe in suppressing votes, I just believe that if rules are in place people should follow them.
How about getting to the unregistered voter base two months before the elections? That way they can get the proper information necessary to register. Make it easy for them. Maybe more time should be spent figuring out why people aren't even interested in voting. How do you motivate an apathetic crowd of people to get involved?? I've tried with the folks I know, they feel as though their vote doesn't count, so why bother..that is what I meant with the electoral college comment.
Regardless, this post was about Walker & Voter ID laws, I tend to agree with him on this particular issue. People should follow the rules and be a part of this Great Country.
If you're sincere about not wanting to invade other countries, you should call for voting to be easier, not harder, for everyone.
What your post adds up to is that, since it doesn't really matter in the long run whether we vote or not, it's okay to make it harder to vote. But it gets clearer and clearer with every election cycle that suppressing the vote favors the warmongers and the moneygrubbers. Saving our democracy demands making it easier to vote, not harder.
