There is no #ShameOnAlabama None. Zilch. Nada.

Alabama Sucks Because it Dishonors It's Own African American Heritage

What part of Alabama has no shame don't they understand? 

Governor Bentley says Congresswoman Terri Sewell is impulsive and ill informed on onehand, and that's she's done a good job on, EYE mean for, her district on the other hand. EYE wonder if he realizes how condescending he sounds?  He also claims the decision to close DVM office in predominately black counties is not race based it's about saving money.  Yeah right, so was Slavery.

"We will go to people's houses to have their picture made if they don't have a photo ID in the state of Alabama," said Bentley. "We're not ever going to do anything to keep people in the state of Alabama from voting. And for them to jump to a conclusion like that, that is politics at its worst."

See what EYE mean? If it were all about saving money the Governor would expand Medicaid, but I digress.  So how does Congresswoman Sewell and the Congressional Black Caucus respond...with a big old hashtag?

U.S. Rep. Terri Sewell, D-Birmingham, and other members of the Congressional Black Caucus are using the hashtag #ShameonAL on Twitter on Wednesday to describe the state's decision to close driver's license satellite offices in the state that disproportionately affect African Americans, the poor and the elderly.

How does the NAACP respond....with a thinly veiled threat, sorta, kinda...?

A top civil rights legal group, citing a likely violation of voting rights, suggested possible legal action against Alabama for its decision to close 31 of its driver's license offices. The NAACP Legal Defense and Education Fund has requested to meet with Alabama state officials in person to express the group's concerns that the DMV closures will make it harder for residents -- particularly African Americans in the state's "Black Belt" -- to obtain the government-issued photo IDs required to vote under Alabama law.

They pull out a knife you pull out a gun.   Now is not the time for hashtag and threats.  Now is the time for action.  The Alabama Legislature can't be shamed into repealing the Voter ID Bill.  The United States Congress can't be shamed into restoring the Voting Rights Act.  We the People are going to have to make them hear us.

#VoterSuppression With the State Seal of Approval and #RollEagle!

The Alabama Secretary of State's Office is kicking off their voter suppression, EYE mean, registration and identification efforts, Nod Nod Wink Wink, with a campaign that features Alabama head football coach Nick Saban and Auburn University head football coach Guz Malzan.

Stay Classy  #SweetHomeAlabama where We Dare Defend Our Right to Suppress the Vote

"But wait, can’t you just get a state photo ID? Sure…But you still have to haul your sorry ass to the non-existent DMV."

Congressman Artur Davis wants to be our Governor?

While Alabama, democratic candidate Ron Sparks and 3 republican gubernatorial candidates participated in a forum sponsored by Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity Inc., The Student Government Association, and the NAACP-Tuskegee University Chapter,. at Tuskegee University, democratic gubernatorial candidate Congressman Artur Davis(DINO 07) was defending his health care vote at the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa.



I guess the media we have decided not to cover the gubernatorial forum because I can find no media reports online. A google search directed me to the Tuskegee Face book page and this very classy and gracious comment from republican gubernatorial candidate Bill Johnson.


Bill Johnson for Governor Last night's forum at Tuskegee University was wonderful. The students there put on a very impressive event. We want to thank the Tuskegee University Student Government Association,the NAACP-Tuskegee University Chapter, and Kappa Alpha Psi for such a great time.9 hours ago · View Post



It is being reported Artur Davis was given a pass by the Democratic Party because he's running for governor.

Even the delegation’s most progressive congressman, Artur Davis, has been
given special dispensation by the Democratic Party. Rep. Davis, D-Birmingham,
will vote “no,” knowing that a “yes” vote would seriously weaken his chance to
be elected governor this year.

Oh really now? The Democratic Party gave Artur Davis permission to vote against the party? As a card, carrying member of the Democratic Party I want to know who gave Artur Davis a special dispensation because it would weaken his chance to be elected governor this year. The Democratic Party cares more about Artur Davis being elected governor of Alabama than they do health care reform? Who the heck knew?



I challenge who ever gave Artur Davis to vote against health care reform to look in the mirror and repeat this so they can see how stoopid they sound.

Artur Davis, has been given special dispensation by the Democratic Party because a "yes vote would seriously weaken his chance at being elected governor this year.

Davis' indefensible vote against health care reform was the nail in the coffin of his gubernatorial campaign. He could have locked the African American/liberal/progressive democratic vote if he had done the right (no pun) thing and voted for health care reform. But noooooo, he had to pander to the republicans, the tea baggers, the special interest and the lobbyist at the expense of his constituents.



As a proud, loyal, card carrying member of the democratic party I don't take kindly to democrats voting against the party, and I certainly don't take kindly to the democratic party giving special dispensations to democrats to vote against the party. If I wanted to vote for candidates who vote with the republicans I would vote republican.



Artur Davis no vote on HCR has earned him the House Negro of the Day Award. Again.

HOUSE NEGRO OF THE DAY.
( ARTUR DAVIS, D-ALABAMA) THIS NEGRO WON'T VOTE FOR THE HEALTH CARE REFORM BILL BECAUSE HE THINKS THAT CONSERVATIVES IN ALABAMA WILL SUPPORT HIS RUN FOR GOVERNOR. GOOD LUCK WITH THAT NEGRO. AND ENJOY YOUR ROOM IN THE HOUSE WHILE YOU ARE AT IT.



Uh Huh.
