I don’t give a rats what “entertainment heavyweights” think about politics.
But have they or the entertainment rags actually read the laws? What are they specifically opposing?
Well if Hollywood is for it then it must be the right thing to do, I mean Hollywood is just a bastion of moral people..... oh wait.
What exactly are these people opposing? I don’t believe they’ve even read the law! As a voter I want my vote Protected! I don’t want people to be able to use my name or theirs 10 times to vote At different places.This is a protection against fraud and everyone should welcome this

Hollywood Stars, Entertainment Companies Sign Open Letter Condemning Georgia Voting RestrictionsFortune 500 companies, A-list movie stars, filmmakers and corporate heavyweights came out swinging on April 14, condemning Georgia’s new voting restrictions in an open letter that was printed… Here’s a question - Why wouldn’t you want secure elections? Even bigger question - who the hell doesn’t have access to obtaining a state-issued ID? You have to have it literally for everything. Driving. Using debit/cards. Buying cigs and beer. Flying. Stop peddling a fucking lie. Often wondered why Hollywood never made a movie about the attempted Fascist Coup D'etat of the US Government in 1933. BBC & PBS produced documentarys. Both on You Tube. One thing for sure. It's happening in at least 23 states like Georgia. Fascist never give up.

Gov. DeSantis signs Florida restrictive voting law while shutting out all media but Fox NewsFlorida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed a new restrictive voting bill in a closed-door event that blocked out all reporters and media coverage, except for Fox News. This inspired me to write an Amanda Gorman style woke poem: “We Are Global Citizens” Whitey is evil, So is systemic racism. If whitey wants to be an ally, they need to listen to “us”, and not talk. Gay guys love cock. Liz Warren was right about climate change. A transgendered. Is it just me or do these guys all seem like they have a severe case of constipation? Well ya know I used to wanna move to GA or FL but he'll naw....they over there going backwards is time.....nope...nope...nope!!!
