Where is Rod Serling when we need him?

Are we surprised? Didn’t we see? A voter since ’48, now she needs new ID?
Where are the clowns? Send in the clowns…

Recall trolls saying no, there’s no reason to fear,
There’s no inconvenience, let’s all have some beer?

But where are the clowns? Quick, send in the clowns.
Don’t bother, they’re here.

Something HB 351 does nothing about, and in its original form had made WORSE.

Photo ID would do nothing to stop double voting, nothing at all.

I asked Rep David Lewis if lawmakers had any mechanism to validate the ID,the answer is no.

The fact is, no state that requires photo ID (8 of them so far) has a mechanism to validate the ID.

We would have to set up something like a national ID style database plus buy new equipment for every polling place, set up a system that doesn’t exist, and create an ID that doesn’t exist. IF you wanted to say you were validating the ID.

Bottom line, a fake ID kit can be bought cheaply off of Ebay.

Photo ID would only stop honest but poor people from voting.

we’ll be conducting voter registration in two sites this Saturday and Sept. 24 – from 10 to 4.
This Saturday we’ll be at the Food Lion on Wendover Rd (near the post office).

Sept. 24 we’ll be at Habitat for Humanity on No. Wendover Rd. opposite Home Depot.

A solar energy company that intends to file for bankruptcy received $535 million in backing from the federal government and has a cozy history with Democrats and the Obama administration, campaign finance records show.

Shareholders and executives of Solyndra, a green energy company producing solar panels, fundraised for and donated to the Obama administration to the tune of hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Tulsa billionaire George Kaiser, a key Obama backer who raised between $50,000 and $100,000 for the president’s election campaign, is one of Solyndra’s primary investors. Kaiser himself donated $53,500 to Obama’s 2008 election campaign, split between the DSCC and Obama For America. Kaiser also made several visits to the White House and appeared at some White House events next to Obama officials.

Campaign finance records show Kaiser and Solyndra executives and board members donated $87,050 total to Obama’s election campaign.

And now, just two years after securing a half-billion-dollar federal loan, Solyndra has said that it will declare Chapter 11 bankruptcy.

In a statement, Solyndra wrote “global economic and solar industry market conditions” forced it to close its Fremont, Calif., factory and lay off 1,100 employees.

“Regulatory and policy uncertainties in recent months created significant near-term excess supply and price erosion,” Solyndra president and CEO Brian Harrison said. “Raising incremental capital in this environment was not possible. This was an unexpected outcome and is most unfortunate.”

Obama cited the company as a model of success for his highly touted green-energy industry initiative. In fact, the Obama administration fast-tracked the solar startup’s $535 million loan application to the Department of Energy — a move later criticized by the Government Accountability Office.

Solyndra and the administration originally projected the loan would help Solyndra create 4,000 jobs.

During a visit to the Solyndra facility in 2010, Obama said the factory is “a testament to American ingenuity and dynamism and the fact that we continue to have the best universities in the world, the best technology in the world, and most importantly the best workers in the world.”

Democracy North Carolina is a nonpartisan organization that uses research, organizing, and advocacy to increase voter participation, reduce the influence of big money in politics and achieve a government that is truly of the people, for the people and by the people.

Key word is nonpartisan. The implication is that Conservative viewpoints are welcome too.
