Thank you, Gov. Perdue, for standing on the right side of history by vetoing the voter ID bill. For more than 225 years, our elected officials, both Republican and 
Democrat, have presumed our citizens to be fair and honest. Suddenly, we have a Republican majority in Raleigh that doesn’t trust 
our citizens, presumes they are not honest. That could be the only explanation for why Republicans passed a bill that disenfranchises seniors, college students, newly married/divorced women and African-Americans. What are they afraid of? Republicans don’t trust the citizens who have entrusted them to serve. But we Democrats have always had faith in our people. That’s why we stand with Gov. Perdue and her veto of a thinly veiled voter-suppression bill that would roll back decades of progress of voting rights. To believe or not to believe, that’s not even a question.

“college students, newly married/divorced women and African-Americans” are disfranchised? I would then presume that you are against the law that mandates you present an ID to buy the good cough syrup/sinus medication that is kept behind the pharmacy counter….after all this hurts the “college students, newly married/divorced women and African-Americans” who doesn’t have an ID.
What the ID law does do is it makes sure that you have one vote per person..if your living. As it seats right know I can go and vote for my self and my father in law..(he passed away this year)…. I can also go and vote for ones who i may have register to vote and they dont know, how would any one know?
Also you give us a 225 year”presumed honest” thing their….back in the late ninety’s, every one had to show an id or electric bill to sign….less then twenty years ago.
And while we are on the “presumed honest”….i am sure you would agree that the state should presumed i have paid all my taxes, right? Yea no more state tax form!!!
