Hoyer challenges Republiclowns to prove citizenship right now.

[acmejack]

Claims not one can do it with documents on them. He's right too, they're just trying to disenfranchise people.

1. Calling them out on their demagoguery?

All right! Who put the caffeine in the Democratic water cooler? Take a few big swings like this, and the GOP machinations get exposed for the manipulations they are.

2. My congressman did that? Really? Do you have a link? I have almost

given up on Steny ever doing anything to make the Republics uncomfortable.

3. He seems l;ike a mixed bag

sometimes very,very good ....But other times the epitome of what's wrong with us.

It sounds like that incident was one of his very very good moments.

4. They're trying to suppress turnout

Not necessarily disenfranchise people. Just keep the turnout down. That works to GOP advantage every time. High turnout = Dem win.

Since my passport expired last week, I don't think I can PROVE I'm a U.S. citizen. Apart from renewing it, I have no idea how I could ever prove it. And IIRC, less than 10 percent of Americans have a passport.

5. Expired passports are still valid proof of citizenship (say, for your I-9)

6. Would a drivers' license and social security card suffice

if so I can prove mine.

7. I thought only US citizens got Social Security??

If so my SS Card proves my citizenship

:)

8. I know that they suffice for employment purposes

but am not sure about voting.
