Stop the Fear, Vote With Confidence, Provide a Proper ID

Let's stop the bickering and go to the polls this November with the proper ID and vote with pride.

Just what is wrong with providing a picture identification when we go to vote?  Why is everyone afraid of?

Usually, when someone does not want to provide proper identification, it is because that person(s) has something to hide.

I have a driver's license to identify me as as a legal driver. I have a proper ID to teach at a university, I have an ID identifying me as a Mason and I just received an ID when I joined the Marine Corps League.

In fact, I have an identification card for everything identifying me as a legal American citizen. I am proud to have achieved such a status because there is no better place to live than the United States of America.

Therefore, let us all stop the bickering and try to live according to the laws of the land. This November, let us go to the polls with the proper ID and vote with pride in the best country on earth.
