I think someone should start a fund to help women who cannot afford a passport to get one.

Also to help those who need documents to get them. Giving help for people who need it, either in person to help get their documents together, or raising money to help with the cost for those who cannot afford it.

Can you imagine the surprise in November when thousands of women show up at the polls with passports???? MAGA poll workers would lose their bloody minds! Not to mention Mango King.

Notice the uptick in passport applications, they'll find a way to slow it down so that most won't be received until sometime in December.

Because that's how they roll.

They'll just amend the voting rules to add another roadblock. Why do we keep playing this Lucy and the football game with them?

And since the passport depends on having other kinds of identification, why aren't those good enough?

It is the only way parents can help protect their children from the dangers inside the country.
