“I think its a great idea,” wrote Dan Miller. “If you don’t have valid ID just makes me wonder what shady activities you are up to. Honest, law abiding citizens have no reason to shun or be fearful of displaying their ID to legitimate government agencies.

“I’m a Proud American and proudly showed my ID when asked,” posted TR Strunk. “Only true Americans have the right to vote in the U.S. and it shouldn’t even be a problem to show that proof.It doesn’t take a persons ‘RIGHTS’ away but it proves you have the ‘RIGHT’ to VOTE!”
