I will not quit. I will continue to fight to get people the ID they need to vote because this is the most important issue of our time.~Dale Jackson July 13, 2012
In an obvious attempt to gain publicity for himself, and mock voters who will be negatively impacted by the new Voter ID laws being passed by red, republican, controlled legislators and governors in key swing states, including Sweet Home Alabama, WVNN radio talk show host Dale Jackson challenged liberals to stop whining about the Voter ID laws and do something about it. by offering to single-handedly (sic) solve this problem by not only picking up "the poor", taking them to the appropriate agency, paying for their ID and buying them a sandwich..
There was only one problem, Dale needed help identifying the poor and destitute who couldn't obtain an ID, so he enlisted the help of the Alabama Democratic Party, The Alabama Federation of Democratic Women, Limestone County Democrats, and the Madison County Democrats via Facebook.
Refusing to give up Dale even suckered LiA blogger and commentor Dragontide into posting his appeal for help on the font page of Left in Alabama promising to ask Congress Critter Mo Brooks (r), and Alabama Senators Richard Shelby(r) and Jeff Sessions(r) about a nationwide federal program to issue ID's, which Dale reneged on.
Well Dale, you don't have to beg for help identifying the poor, destitute people you claim you are trying to help because the Brennan Center for Justice has done the work for you in a report that list the number of Alabamians who need to be picked up, taken to the appropriate agency so you can to buy them a voter ID card.
Psst Dale! Get out your checkbook and write a check for the total cost of the ID card, transportation, and a sandwich for the number of people in the Tennessee Valley listening area, identified for you in the report, and send it the Brennan Center for Justice so they can help you win the fight to get people the ID they need to vote because this is the most important fight of our time.

Stop lying...
Go read the original offer.
And I quote at this link - http://theattackmachine.wordpress.com/wp-admin/post.php?post=8648&action=edit -
Absurdly this question was asked in our conversation about Voter ID laws…
And therein lies the problem with the Voter ID card. Who is going to issue it? How much is it going to cost? Who is going to pay for it?
Really?
Who is going to issue it? The State of Alabama
How much is it going to cost? The Voter? 0.
Who is going to pay for it? Dale Jackson
I pledge to use my time and money to help anyone who wants a ID and who does not have one get one.
I will pick them up, I will take them to the appropriate agency. I will pay for their ID card and I will even buy them lunch.
A free lunch and the right to vote? Awesome!
Have your poor and destitute contact me dale@wvnn.com
Offer good to anyone in the WVNN listening area.
Do that and I will be more than happy to oblige.
And therein lies the problem with your offer to help the poor and the destitute obtain a Voter ID card because this is the most important issue of our time.
I should have known this was just another one of your pranks.
Carry on.
The problem is what exactly?
