A FRIEND OF THE CITIZEN JOURNALISTS RECEIVED A LETTER FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF STATE REGARDING VOTER ID. OUR FRIEND IS A VETERAN WHO IS VERY HEARING IMPAIRED FROM THE BATTLE OF KHE SANH. THE LETTER SUGGESTED HE CONTACT PENNDOT TO GET THE PROPER INFORMATION. WHILE A TOLL FREE NUMBER WAS GIVEN THERE WAS NO OPTION FOR THE HEARING IMPAIRED (by the way many seniors are known to be hearing impaired). OUR FRIEND BELIEVES THAT AFTER HIS SACRIFICES TO THIS NATION, THE POWERS THAT BE IN HARRISBURG DON’T WANT HIM TO VOTE BECAUSE HE WANTS TO PROTECT HIS HARD-EARNED BENEFITS. SADLY, WE BELIEVE OUR HEARING IMPAIRED FRIEND IS CORRECT!
