An Open Letter to Governor Corbett, Mitt Romney and Co. – “Imagine”

The Situation – * The voter ID Law was passed by conservative republicans based on a premise of a rampant epidemic of voter fraud in this country. However, As per a recent Carnegie-Knight News21 analysis of 2,068 alleged election fraud cases in the US since 2000 found voter fraud virtually nonexistent. Furthermore, when instances of voter fraud did turn up, they were isolated and often uncoordinated cases of a single individual casting two votes — apparently not the sort of widespread epidemic voter law advocates have argued. Thus, due to it’s nature and it’s timing, the new voter ID legislation could literally impact the upcoming election in November.

Dear Gov Corbett, Mitt Romney and Republican Supporters of the Voter ID law,

Please IMAGINE the following realistic scenario:

– Imagine if your newly enacted voter ID law prevents tens of thousands of tax paying Americans from exercising their right to vote in the upcoming election and, as a result,
when the votes are counted on election night, your guy wins and the amount of people who were denied their right to vote adds up to a number that could have swayed the election?

– Can you, just for one second, IMAGINE the national outrage from half of the American Public as well as the media that the election was stolen, people’s rights were denied and YOU are amongst the individuals responsible!

– Imagine your legacy as one of those who supported finding a way to deny hundreds of thousands of tax paying American’s their right to vote!

– Finally, I ask you to Imagine, WILL IT BE WORTH IT?

Respectfully,

Joe Dougherty Jr.

We Can’t Win, If We “ALL” Can’t Vote!

By PhillyLabor.com

As well as providing premium workers, services, products and labor, the strength of a union community depends on it’s political standing, which depends on it’s impact on the political process, which depends on it’s commitment to support, endorse, and elect political leaders that represent our interests, which, in the end, ultimately depends on our ability to vote.

The New PA. Voter ID Law ‘IS” in effect and, although there is an appeal coming, it is literally possible that the issue may not be resolved in time for the coming election. Let’s prepare as if it won’t be and make sure every single member of our our families and communities is registered and has the REQUIRED ID TO VOTE this election day and in SOLIDARITY, let’s get the vote out and secure the future of our union community!
