Voters in TN using Provisional ballots are told to call a bank call center number

Tennessee had its first election using their new "Anti-Fraud" voter law.  You know the one where you have to show a GOVERNMENT issued ID?  It is supposed to protect us from all that Voter Fraud that is just RAMPANT all over the Nation (I'll remove my tongue from my cheek now).

Well, it seems that several people, retired lawmakers, the elderly, a few veterans, including a retired Marine here in Nashville, and the like were shown the door and told they could not vote because they didn't have "the proper identification".  Some of the lucky ones, only after they threw a fit, received a Provisional Ballot.  Apparently on that ballot was a phone number to call.  Guess where that phone number went?  A call center for Bank of America.  Not just any call center, a call center for delinquent loans!  How about that for protecting us from voter fraud.  Don't you feel safer now?

All that voter fraud that this law has stopped. Amazing law. Amazing execution. Amazing GOP legislators who thought it would be a good idea to make sure that the poor, some veterans and the elderly could no longer vote. Because, you see, they are all fraudulent voters. They fraudulently thought that the GOP would help them. The fraudulently thought the GOP had their best interest at heart. Guess what.


Now someone tell me why the FEC isn't all over these stupid State Laws all over the country?  Why aren't they spending more time in this country making sure it is EASY to vote?  Why isn't there a NATIONAL voting regulation and a NATIONAL set of rules so the whole country votes in the same manner with the same machines?  Why isn't this a NATIONAL issue?  The states can't handle it.  Our elections will never be completely valid until they Nationalize this.  Because the South thinks they will "rise again".....and apparently this is one of the ways they want to do it.

It's International Women's Day. Ladies...you know what to do....

Happy International Women's Day!

So Ladies, go out and make some bacon, fry it up in a pan and never, ever let him forget he's a man. And always remember, all this talk of equality, reproductive rights, and evil contraceptives are just distractions from making him dinner and a nice cocktail. So let's all be good little girls and kick off those shoes........Uhhh......What's that? This just in......Nashville woman just seen at the Tennessee Legislature using her frying pan on some GOP asses. Film at 10 pm.

Super Tuesday, you say....I'll be the judge of that.

Oh, Girl Scout Cookies....

Limited Government, my ass....or vagina.

Hope Scholarships now under fire. GOP busy fighting the war on the poor.

Tennessee GOP legislators want to block more kids from getting Tennessee's HOPE Scholarship. Is there anyone these GOP people won't try to hurt?  When will they stop trying to bring the country down?  Just because they are out of ideas to bring us a better future, doesn't mean they have to destroy people's hope.  The State of Tennessee should be ashamed of itself.  Why would the even entertain the idea of taking opportunities away from students?  After all, it is the State's lack of prioritizing education that gets us into this pickle anyway. 

Now the GOP is busy trying to "limit" the number of students who can qualify for the HOPE scholarship. Yet another weapon in the war against the poor.  I guess since the other wars are "winding down", the GOP has to have war with someone.  So they want to be sure that the poor know exactly where the GOP wants them....humiliated, depressed and with no hope of a better life.  The State of Tennessee should be ashamed of itself for the votes that put these people in office.  Shameful.  I look around at my neighbors and wonder, “ Are you the one who voted to elect this new way of life?".  Stacey Campfield and his ilk have managed to take Tennessee to the point of being an embarrassment.  And it doesn't seem that many of our neighbors are paying attention.

With their ridicule of Obama's slogan for years, and now their war on students who depend on these funds to go to college, it is as if the GOP is against ANYTHING with the word "HOPE" in it.
