The NC General Assembly began this week and you’d think the new Republican leaders would get right to work fixing our state’s budget and creating jobs.
A photo ID law will waste millions of tax dollars to “fix” a problem that barely exists. Republican leaders say the law is needed to stop voter fraud. But you are more likely to be struck by lightning in NC than have somebody steal your vote.
This proposal will especially hurt low-income citizens, people with disabilities, students, people of color and the elderly. It’s a shameful power grab.
Email your legislators today to oppose this effort and urge Governor Perdue to use her veto power to protect voters’ rights in North Carolina.
If you think a photo ID is good for voters, please read this short fact sheet.
You can also call Gov. Bev Perdue at 1-800-662-7952. Tell her to VETO any voter photo ID bill.
Tell others! Call us at 888-OUR-VOTE and find out what else you can do to help.
If you or someone you know would be affected by a photo ID law, share the story with Democracy North Carolina. We’re gathering personal stories that will be important to share with lawmakers.
Thanks for taking action!

I’m disappointed with Democracy NC being against this bill, one would think you support programs that protect democracy.
