Voter ID wins approval in SC, while members of the Legislative Black Caucus walk out

About 30 members of the Legislative Black Caucus and other House Democrats staged the walkout as debate moved into its fourth hour and it became clear the bill would pass.

After Democrats marched out of the House chamber, the bill which would require voters to present a valid S.C. driver’s license, passport, military ID or other photo ID approved by the state Department of Motor Vehicles at the polls passed 65 to 14.

Republicans said the bill is a safeguard against voter fraud. It is based on Indiana’s voter ID law, which was upheld last year by the U.S. Supreme Court. Read More

Why would members of black Caucus and other democrats not want this bill? Does anything come to mind? Maybe ACORN? Whole sports team members being wrote in as votes for Obama, Micky Mouse and many blacks voting more than once! In other words the bill helps keep this sort of thing from happening and they don’t like it. Georgia has a ID law and so does Indiana!

UPDATED – Nationwide Chicago Tea Party” to protest the Obama Administration’s bailout plan.

UPDATE:
Stimulus protesters rally at the Gateway Arch

A large crowd braved chilly temperatures downtown today to protest President Barack Obama’s stimulus program and to throw tea into the Mississippi River.
The gathering was organized by several local conservatives, who estimated the showing at more than 1,000 people. There was no official crowd estimate, but the gathering filled roughly one fourth of the grand staircase from the Gateway Arch grounds down to the levee.

Smart Girl Politics says: Most people aren’t hurting yet. At last not to the point they are prepared to make personal sacrifice to save our country. Most people don’t really understand or are not aware of the real and present danger we are facing. Many are still flush with their excitement of the new cool dude President. Others just don’t think about it one way or the other. People are generally concerned with their own lives than they are with the bigger picture.

My fear is that we aren’t quite ready for the Tea Party. I fear we’ll be forced to fall down before the average person is ready to stand up to ‘The Man’ and tell him (them) ‘No taxation without representation’ as our forefathers did. We aren’t quite ready to experience sacrifice that isn’t forced upon us.

My fear is that there will be a lot more loss, suffering and big government infringing on our lives before a real grass roots effort to stop the bleeding will take effect. My hope is that it won’t be too late and we will be able to salvage our country before so much damage is done that the cure entail enormous sacrifice and pain.

Tea Parties are planned in 20 cities across the country this weekend. The weekend tea party schedules are below, thanks to Little Miss Attila. Read more here

UPDATED: 01 March – Backpedaling? – Obama: Don’t stock up on guns Dec 8, 08 – Obama to Seek New Assault Weapons Ban Feb. 25, 09

UPDATE 01 Mar.
Backpedaling on the new ‘assault weapons’ ban
Well, that didn’t take long.

It seems Attorney General Eric Holder’s announcement that the Obama administration would seek a new ban on semiautomatic firearms was premature, and the damage control teams have arrived to put the torn facades back up.

First, we had House Speaker Nancy Pelosi “throw[ing] cold water” on the idea: Read More at Gun Rights Examiner

The Obama administration will seek to reinstate the assault weapons ban that expired in 2004 during the Bush administration, Attorney General Eric Holder said today.

Now what did you say in DEC of 2008 Obama?

As gun sales shoot up around the country, President-elect Barack Obama said Sunday that gun-owning Americans do not need to rush out and stock up before he is sworn in next month.
“I believe in common-sense gun safety laws, and I believe in the second amendment,” Obama said at a news conference. “Lawful gun owners have nothing to fear. I said that throughout the campaign. I haven’t indicated anything different during the transition. I think people can take me at my word.”
But National Rifle Association spokesman Andrew Arulanandam said it’s not Obama’s words — but his legislative track record — that has gun-buyers flocking to the stores. Read More here

Holder’s Record Alarms Gun Owners

January 16, 2009
President-elect Barack Obama has a bad reputation regarding the Second Amendment right to bear arms, and it’s having a dramatic effect in gun and ammo retail outlets.
Now that the President-elect is poised to take the oath of office, guns are flying off the shelves.
So, has Barack Obama over the years said something or intimated anything by his record to cause this apparent panic? Read More

 

Ok gun owners and hunters you were warn before the election that Obama was against gun owners. Obama lied to you American gun owners. In 2012 you need to remember that you can not trust Obama’s word for nothing and vote him out of the White House.

Do you still trust Obama?
