The following list of what people need a photo ID for was read on the air at WISN 1130 radio a few days ago. The roster was compiled by the Washington Examiner:
--------
You don’t need a photo ID to vote, but you do need one to buy alcohol and cigarettes.
You need one to open a bank account, or to apply for a job to fill that bank account.
You also need an ID to file for unemployment, and to apply for welfare, and Medicaid, and food stamps.
You need a photo ID to apply for Social Security
And to buy a home, and apply for a mortgage, or to rent a home.
You need a photo ID to drive a car, you need one to buy a new car, to buy a used car, heck, you even need one to rent a car.
You need a photo ID to get on an airplane, and you need one to get married, and you need one to check into a hotel room for your honeymoon.
You need a photo ID to buy a gun, and to apply for a hunting license and a fishing license, and even to adopt a pet.
You need a photo ID to pick up a prescription, you need one to buy certain kinds of cold medicine, and you need one to donate blood.
You need a photo ID to enter a casino, and you need one to buy lottery tickets.
You need one to buy a video game that’s rated M for Mature, and you need one to see a movie rated NC-17.
You need a photo ID to buy a cell phone and apply for a coverage plan.
And, in perhaps the greatest irony of the entire Voter ID debate, you need a photo ID to hold a rally or protest, such as a rally or protest against requiring a photo ID to vote.

OK, lefties, bring it on. What in the world is soooooo difficult about having a photo ID? Most people DO have a photo ID in the form of a drivers license, passport, student IDs, etc. Most people DO have some form of identification. It is almost impossible to go day to day without any identification. And if people do not have a photo ID, one can be provided for them - at no cost - at a variety of places. Yet, this is asking too much? How so?
