GOP SAYS SOME AMERICANS MUST NOT BE ABLE TO VOTE OR DRIVE AN AUTOMOBILE!!
(Unedited/Unabridged 2011)
In September 2011, while doing some business at my Credit Union I was informed that my drivers License had expired. I went in the web to The Loen County Tax Collectors to find out what it would take to get the license reinstated. I then called the Tax Collectors Office to verify the documentation I would need to get my License back. Both contracts informed me that I would need the expired license and three other identifying documents as Bank Statements, House Note, Utilities Bill, Auto Insurance Bill, etc.
On October 7, 2001 I went to the Tax Collectors to reinstate my license. I was asked for my documentation for the transaction. I provided my Bank Statement, house note bill, utilities Bill, AAA card, Voting registration card, Auto registration, AARP Card, VISA Credit Card, Medicare Card, VISTA State Medical Insurance Card, etc. I was told that this was fine but now Satate and National Laws required me to have my “Birth Certificate or Passport” and by the, way my voter registration was not valid until my photo identification on my Driver License was valid. It seems that not only was my driver’s license canceled but I Could not vote also.
The Birth Certificate for an eighty year Old Black born in the South was nearly an impossibility to get. I was born in The Heart of Dixie, Alabama in the thirties. At that time no Blacks could go to a hospital for treatment or births. I was born on a kitchen table at my Grandmothers house. My name was placed in the family Bible and no birth certificate was filed, therefore, I cannot get a birth certificate.
In addition when I went to register to vote in the forties I was given a literacy test in Chinese! After some great difficulty I did get my registeration to vote and have voted in every election sense the fifties, sixty years. I have had a Drivers License for some sixty years also. Now in 2011 I am denied drivers license and the right to vote because I have no valid Birth Certificate!! All of my identification is essentially null and void because of a birth certificate FROM Alabama. I am a non-person. I have attended eight universities and received three graduate degrees. I have been cleared “TOP Secret” by the federal government while working on projects for the Army, Air Force, and Navy. I have many Top Secret Patents and twenty or so publications in Chemical Journals. I have worked for forty-three years and contributed in the SS(Social Security) and I am presently retired for sixteen years with a pension from SS and The Florida Retirement System! I am an American.
A Pox on the GOP -a Pox on the Tea Party-a Pox on Karl Rove! Give me back my America!
This will be the first time in sixty years that I have not been able to vote or drive! God how low can an American go in eighty years? Will the ministers of Grace and the Saints above help this poor old Darkie American man. Failing that, I appeal to a higher power, Reverend Al. Charpton, First Lady Michelle and President Obama, help me!!!
