In Florida you have to register and they issue a registration card. If you don't have it but are on the voter rolls, there is a process whereby you can provide alternate ID (usually a drivers license) and still vote. This way, your vote still stands as equal a chance of not being counted as those who have their cards.

I was never sure why it was so important to others why I fly the flag. Or why I should care what others will think about me because I do. I fly it for my reasons, not theirs. What it symbolizes is personal. Worrying about what others think it means to me has always struck me as a little High School sophomoric.

kat,

Troll wasn't responding to you (I think) but about posts on other threads where people stated all those things about people who display the flag. With a few more pejoratives thrown in for good measure. I answer for him as insomnia has gripped me and not him (for once).

Regards

John.
