Majority of Pa. voters have valid photo ID
Facts proponents of voter fraud (aka the Democratic Party) don't want you to know: 9 out of 10 registered voters in Pennsylvania have a valid ID and many of the people who claim they don't have valid ID have not voted in any election in the past 4-5 years and are considered inactive voters. Some of them may also be deceased, but that's never stopped the Democratic Party from getting their people to the polls in the past.

How Much Is the Obamacare ‘Tax’?
The Obama campaign is still claiming that the Obamacare tax is not really a tax even though the IRS has been charged with collecting it. From FactCheck.org, an independent, non-partisan organization:
How much will the “tax” penalty be for going without health insurance?
A: The minimum assessment will be $695 per person (but no more than $2,085 per family) in 2016, when fully phased in. The amount can be higher depending on income. But there are exemptions for low-income persons and others.
