This is the transcript from the "Consider this by Dan Jackson". He read this during a KCBD broadcast.
"Right now, state leaders are literally arguing over voter identification rules. At issue is a bill that would require voters to show identification at the polls. "
"The only thing needed now is a voter registration card - no picture id required. This law would change that. A similar bill failed in Austin a couple of years ago. Now, how anyone could argue that identifying yourself as a real voter is a bad idea is beyond me. Detractors will say it discourages minority participation and I strongly disagree. "
"We're all required to show id when opening a checking account, buying things, cashing a check, drinking alcohol, even travelling; but not voting - and it's the most important duty we have as Americans. "
"Consider this, as this debate continues in Austin, I encourage you to speak up. Personally, I'm disappointed that West Texas Representative Delwin Jones went against his party and voted against this two years ago. I hope he's had a change of heart. "

Dear Dan Jackson,
I think you should wear black face and change the name of this segment to, Consider this by Jim Crow.

The Class A boys Basketball final was an all West Texas affair. Roscoe Plowboys versus the Plains Cowboys. Overtime classic with Roscoe winning.
Lubbock Estacado lost to Dallas Madison in overtime. Oh so close, and yet....
