This Election Day Minnesotans will vote on Amendment 2, also known as the Voter ID law.
You can read up as to the many reasons why a NO vote is the way to go or you can just recall one YES group's racist images in the early days of the campaign. No matter, you should watch the following two videos produced by the Twin Cities' Hip Hop community to raise awareness. It's time to Face the Vote.
Learn more about the videos here:
Face The Vote (FTV) is part of a very large community reaction to the Voter Suppression (Voter ID) bill. The concept behind FTV is simple. The Twin Cities Hip Hop community has decided to put a face on the voters affected by the suppression bill. So with artists from all walks and backgrounds FTV formed and sprang into action.
Face The Vote includes: The Lioness, Mally, Danami, Toki Wright, Maria Isa, Kaleem, B Dot Croc, Nazeem, Muja, Felix, I Self Devine, Master Mind, and Jamecia Bennett.
Video Produced / Directed / Edited / Colorist: Adam J Dunn (www.adamjdunn.com)
Music Produced by: Nicademus
Face the Vote (EP) Executive Produced by: Bobby Jo Champion & Nick Muhammad
Songs recorded by: Bishop
Tracks mastered by: A. Greenwald
The cartoon referenced was taken down ages ago at our urging. It wasn’t intended to be racist, but was perceived that way and anyway was in bad taste. There’s a difference between racist and tone deafness… that was a case of the latter, and is one reason more minorities need to be involved in the GOP. The authors of the cartoon did not realize how their cartoon would be perceived by blacks and Hispanics, and until someone who shared their ideological orientation explained it to them it didn’t register. Coming from a liberal blog and liberal organizations, the feedback quickly was tuned out as race baiting.
We support voter ID, as long as everyone is asked for ID to vote in-person, and no unreasonable barriers are erected to obtaining ID. We all have to show ID for many basic life activities, like cashing a check, airport security screening, liquor purchases, etc. The courts don’t buy the disparate impact argument as opponents of voter ID haven’t been able to come up with credible cases where minorities were unable to obtain ID. We know of only one government agency in the U.S. that refuses photo IDs to minorities, and that is Obama’s State Department refusing to issue U.S. passports to Latinos birthed by midwives.
