They will then ask for identification, and I will refuse.

I am a 6 foot 4 inch, 300 pound man, the tallest man in my town of 800.

I will not move.

If I am granted the right to vote without identification, I will stand in place to make sure this right is afforded to all who come behind me, and at the end of the day I will vote.

If I am not afforded the right to vote, I will not move. I will civilly disobey, and occupy my public polling place. At the end of the day, I will produce my identification, and I will vote.

I may not accomplish anything in the whole scheme of things. But in my small town, I have a family name to live up to, and my great great great great great grandfather, a immigrant, would be proud.
