Erlich is all wrong.  For xample: Destroying protections for clean air and water is not the path to energy independence.  We export oil, coal & LNG.  We produce all the dirty fuel we need.  Investing in solar/wind power is the way to energy independence. No need to import any of that.  But this will hurt dirty fuel industry profits.  The Dems are in favor of these more sensible forms of energy so naturally Erlich has to oppose them.  Just go down to the DMV for a picture ID?  First pass the written and road  and vision test and have no medical conditions or prior driving offenses that would bar you from getting a license.  Then pay your fee.  If the Republicans want to set up a system where the state will pay for getting a free voter ID card that might make sense.  But they won't do that, because that would actually make it easy for poor folks to register to vote.  The FCC got 21 million comments on net neutrality because people see it will allow corps to pay to stop competition.
