Filing Targets Texas Lawmakers' Voter ID Communications
In the latest development in Texas’ battle with the Obama administration over the state’s voter ID law, the U.S. Department of Justice is urging a federal court to deny the state’s request to keep certain communications between lawmakers, staff and constituents out of upcoming court proceedings.
In a court filing dated Thursday, the department argued that it should be allowed to “depose those legislators believed to have had the most active role in drafting, introducing, and advocating for SB 14.” The law requires that voters furnish photo identification before casting a ballot.
The filing was in response ...

If these folks are on record as having advocated for passage, it is hard to understand why they would not be willing to be deposed.

Looks like the democrats are trying very hard to cheat once again to stuff the ballot box like Sheila Lee in Houston is famous for thousands to vote at one address or a vacant lot.
If the democrats were on the up and up they would support Voter ID it is free to American Texans citizens NOW illegals would not be allowed to bring a bill with know telling how many at that address. Obama and democrats are taking steps to cheat with illegal aliens and dead people and they have there dog Holder stooping to all levels to twist and bend the laws that Americans follow but bend to the illegal aliens.
I do have faith sooner or later the Obama and democrats will pay the piper and I hope it is just.
Anyone BUT the fraud Obama and democrats and sorry Rhinos

The GOP will do anything to win this election, even if it involves, attacking America at all levels, and below the belt of morality, fairness, and using pure hate speech.
This garbage administration in Texas, will end, when Texans have had enough, which is yet to be seen. Put up with it Texans, being stepped on, is still cool.

Every legislator's communications should be subject to FOIA including those who worked for it and those who worked against. That should be true for ANY work they do on behalf of those who elected them.

UNIMAGINABLE VOTER FRAUD
It has recently come to light that the SOE Corporation based in Tampa, FL was purchased by the Spanish online voting company SKYTL. SOE was the largest vote processing corporation in the United States; recording, counting and reporting the votes in 26 American States. This encompasses 900 total jurisdictions across the nation. SKYTL is based in Spain, which means the votes in the 2012 Presidential election will now be counted in a foreign country.
Simply stated, our votes will now be routed to a centralized, privately held server in Barcelona, Spain where the opportunity exists to alter the outcome of the election in Barack Obama's favor. The CEO of SKYTL, Pere Valles, is a known Socialist who resided in Illinois during Barack Obama's tenure as a United States Senator and donated heavily to his 2008 election campaign.
Our military overseas will again be disenfranchised as they will be voting online and SKYTL will control the method of voting.
The stage has been set for unimaginable voter fraud as there will be no paper ballots and, thus, no way for the voting public to authenticate who actually cast the votes or the count.
We, the citizens of TEXAS, demand that you as our United States elected official representing the State of Florida stand up and not only loudly denounce this fraud being perpetrated on the American people, but effectively stop it. Our future and the future of our Country hangs in the balance.
Remember Obama's statement to Medvedev, "After my election". Apparently he is supremely confidant everything is firmly in place to make that a reality.
