This is a great time to love ourselves and our nation. We can demonstate our love for each other by actively engaging in the 2008 election process. You can start by voting in the primary election in your state. If you aren't register to vote please register ASAP.
While working at my polling place in Newport News, VA during the 2004 presidential election I discovered that many minority voters were not allowed to vote. The voters were not allowed to vote because they could not produce identification. To my dismay and surprise the polling workers required a state issued identification card from the voters attempting to vote. Some of the voters returned with the necessary identification.
I would encourage everyone without proper ID to call your local Division of Motor Vehicle Department to inquire about getting a driver's license or a state identification card if you can't or don't drive. Therefore, you will be prepared if you are required to present an identification card in order to exercise your right to vote. It is time that we "got fired up and ready to go".
