Sisters of Mercy Urge Missouri Lawmakers to Reject Proposed Photo ID Law

Members of the Missouri Catholic community have expressed grave
concerns that citizens in the state, including religious sisters, will be unjustly denied their right to vote if this misguided bill passes. The Sisters of Mercy released a public statement today:

“We are deeply concerned that legislation of this kind has severe unintended consequences that present substantial barriers for all citizens to exercise their political and moral responsibilities. We strongly urge all citizens in Missouri to contact their representatives and ask them to vote against this measure,” said Sr. Jane Hotstream, RSM, president of the St. Louis Regional Community of the Sisters of Mercy
