I've been yelling for years they want to stop women from voting. But to this article, in particular, I wonder... if you've gone through all the hassle, spent all the money, gathered the necessary documents from around the country, and FINALLY made it to your "Real ID"... will that be enough? Or is the REAL ID not going to be "Real" enough for them any longer? Oh... try to stop me from voting. I'll be jailed, no doubt, because of my mouth and my actions. I've voted in every election... city, county, school board, state, and federal since I was 18, even while I was in the Air Force. I WILL bloody scream like murder if they try to stop THIS veteran from exercising her rights!

I wish women would stop changing their names Skittles Jan 23 #2

Sure, but it has been traditional to do so for centuries and shouldn't be used to keep women from voting LymphocyteLover Jan 23 #9

"traditional" Skittles Jan 23 #12

Yes... I'm just saying a lot of women did this just out of tradition and not thinking about it and they shouldn't LymphocyteLover Jan 23 #13

and I'm just saying I wish they'd stop doing it Skittles Jan 23 #16

I wish that too. I just don't want the women who did this getting their voting rights taken away LymphocyteLover Jan 23 #17

also allowing themselves to be "given away" from one man to another Skittles Jan 23 #18

And we know 7 Democrats who will help them. nilram Jan 23 #4

Really? I don't know any Dem who would vote for this. We're the party of voting and this bill is an abomination. LymphocyteLover Jan 23 #10
