Asserts the conservative talk radio host in Chicago: "Another of [liberal Attorney General Eric] Holder’s voter ID complaints is that those without ID may have to travel long distances or pay fees they cannot afford. Has he not heard of the many states — such as Indiana, Pennsylvania and Georgia — offering free ID and sometimes even mobile services to issue ID? Also, in order for one to obtain Social Security, SSI, Medicare, Medicaid or other government-sponsored benefits through direct deposit, applicants must have some sort of valid ID. In reality, it seems harder not to have obtained valid ID of some sort these days. But, to hear the arguments of voter ID critics, those without ID are helpless to get one. It’s insulting."
More: "Part of being an American citizen is personal responsibility. For example, when immigrants go through the naturalization process, they are taught about the rights and responsibilities that come with citizenship. Along with voting, rights include passports for travel and federal aid and scholarships. Responsibilities include jury service, civic and electoral participation and respect for the Constitution and our laws. That means getting an ID!"
