COME OUT ...COME OUT WHEREVER YOU ARE....

Please come out & vote this next election or we as a people will be hurting. I can't understand why we are not angry as I know we can be when someone tell us that we can't do something. They have deleted our Voting Power and when we have this one final chance to fight back I see no fire in you . I am sooo confused that you are confused or maybe just not informed due to complacency and not believing what is actually happening. PLEASE LEARN WHAT'S GOING ON TO TAKE YOUR FREEDOMS AWAYS & VOTE.
***************************************************************************************************************** North Carolina’s newly unfettered attack on voting rights has three main prongs: Require ID at the polls. North Carolina’s voter ID bill could pose problems for 1 in 10 voters, according to an analysis by the State Board of Elections. About 613,000 North Carolinians lack the required government-issued ID. Nearly a third of these voters are black, while over half are registered Democrats. Penalize college students for voting. Republicans are also pushing a bill to raise taxes on families with college students who choose to vote at school rather than at home, effectively discouraging college students from voting. End early voting and same-day registration. Other states that restricted early voting, like Ohio and Florida, needlessly created mammoth lines on Election Day, forcing some voters to wait until 1 a.m. to cast a ballot. The backlash in Florida has been especially strong, prompting Gov. Rick Scott (R) to reverse his own voter suppression laws. In North Carolina, black voters make up 29 percent of early voters and 34 percent of voters who took advantage of same-day voter registration at the polls. The Republican-dominated legislature and new Republican governor will likely do all they can to speed along these restrictions. However, polls show that North Carolinians overwhelmingly oppose these new voter suppression measures. “Moral Monday” protests are cropping up all over the state to challenge these bills and a slew of other draconian policies targeting the poor, women, minorities, and seniors.
