In ‘Act Of Defiance’ CEOs Discuss Pulling Donations Over Restrictive Voting Laws | NBC News NOW
My black friends go to the BMV and get ID just like I do. None of us are restricted or suppressed.
Fair elections require voter ID. If you are pushing a no ID vote, you're looking to steal an election.
B O Y C O T T these companies! NCSWIC
NO MORE MONEY for the Russian TRUMP CULT GOP they have to go in 2022 and 2024!!! way to go CEOs now make the GOP pay BIG on election days coming!!!
Lie down and shut up.
You KNOW I didn't marry you for your brains.
"…Restrictive (Trumpian) Voting Laws…" remind us, yet again, that #Jan621 Insurrectionist #DJT is "utterly incompetent" as per the words of both his own Federal Judge elder-sister Maryanne Trump Barry and his own Clinical Psychologist niece Dr. Mary Trump. May #Imp2POTUS45 always hear "You're fired" via the unwavering reality of election results that reject him who is the cause of #MourningInAmerica.
Corporation need to begin lobbing the community's which support them as opposed to those voted into make our voices heard.
Question @NBC NEWS do you think that minorities are just too dumb to get a State ID when at least a majority of people 18 and over have one just to see a movie or grab a beer when they're 21?
This is my favorite. It shows exactly how business run the country through donations, so which companies are blackmailing their politicians with threat of no more financial support if those politicians don't vote the intended way.
Remove the corporate welfare. Immigrants cancel outthe citizens vote. Dark money ends by corporations.
Dark money. Illegal immigrants cancels our citizens vote
Fight back Georgia!!!
there is a place where you can check a box stating you don't have ID and then you fill in the last 4 digits of your social security number, and then you are allowed to vote… so how is that restrictive to anyone?
It isn't and OBVIOUSLY every single news source and politician who says it is, is lying to you and should NEVER be trusted with anything important.
Love this! Voter suppression is discrimination and must end.
I would suggest they read the Georgia law.
Funny how quick people who oppose big Corp will drop their morals and root them on. They don’t care about voting laws it’s called pandering 🙄
Why is it every time somebody tries to prevent voter fraud the Democrats are against it???
Trumps big lie is demolishing the GOP. Thanks Dump!ðŸ‘ÂÂ😉
Did this guy really just refer to lobbying payments, donations, kickbacks and bribes as "Taxes"? Those same corporations call that same money tax write-offs.
I applaud Will Smith!
What the former President did not accomplished J 6 21 behind the scenes he is still at it, the man is hoping for a Civil War in AMERICA, that's how he gets his Kicks through Drama, look at his Age what dose he have Lose, whatever money he has left Defence Lawyers will end up get that money through appealing that's why he keeps Fleecing his Base for Donations, the Man is a skimmer, that's been his Performance throughout his Life and he will end up that all the way to his last Breath, the has no Love for the Human Race he is totally Mad in his own Way, Insane 😈people most times comes up with Diabolical Ideas. PEACE TO ALL.
McConnell needs to learn his place! (The little weasel)
Capitalists tell proto-fascist republicans: Down, down you filthy curs.
It sickens me that everything in this country that has been in place for hundreds of years is literally being taken from us. Pretty much if ur white and straight with your original hair color and no nose rings or ear gages, you are becoming a second rate citizen in this country. It's literally being taken over by minority, emo, Lgbqt. They are literally getting everything they want. They are being shot to the front of the line for colleges, over people with better grades and qualifications, getting jobs because the employers fear any backlash from not hiring them. It's truly sickening. And we as normal people can't say anything because the media is basically ramming this down our throats and saying virtually "deal with it"
Will Smith !!!! Who cares what a washed up actor thinks. He's looking for publicity.
I wonder if the companies hire without ID?
I wonder if you can cash a stimulus check or get an account for direct deposit of stimulus without an ID?
I wonder if you can get on a plane without ID?
I think since we need mail in voting with no ID maybe we should be able to buy guns without ID through the mail with no verification.
Boycott everything made in Georgia until they repeal the voting laws put in place. And the people who put them in place should be fired!!!
We should all boycott buying peaches ðŸÂ‘!!!
Withholding their massive donations? That is the only thing that might have a moderating effect on the fascist trumplican hacks.
While they are getting a heart they should look at how hard it is for people to live on their wages and the fact that we pay all the taxes.
Never thought I would say it! Go big corp!
Maryland’s former chief medical examiner, subject of lawsuit, testifies in Chauvin’s defense
This is what fascism looks like folks.
We keep "Knockin' on that Door", as a result there's quite a few corporate CEOs condemning republican voter suppression laws, and the names of companies that support republican voter suppression can be shared, and we can take action against them.
#BoycottGeorgia
This is well-deserved by Mitch McConnel! and his assorted grim reaper, groupies.
The Walking Dead needs to move from Georgia to DC. Congress doesn't even need makeup!
I FREAKIN LOVE IT !!!!!!!
Awesome cause these Republicans are traitors and are a disgrace to this country and we are all human beings and this absolutely must be reversed and some and these people must be voted out and in even bigger numbers than this last race 🖕all who agree with this despicable action
They are not suppressive laws,people who think so are illiterate,the most suppressive thing is mandated that you must have a photo ID and matching signatures but we have always had that! They.need to read it and understand it,it is a Good voter law!
That's stupid…why would the US choose not to be congruent with other first world countries in having ID security for voting!? Why do people in the US not have access to photo ID? Most countries there are a few types of photo ID available. And if they mean black people are to unintelligent to have ID? Then intellectually challanged people usually have help of services so that their rights ARE met. I've never met a 'black person' bit surely they are not more likely to be interlectually challenged?
VOTE BLUE
