educates voters
A controversial Texas voter ID law could impact minorities, and Congressman Al Green says it’s important to stay abreast of the legislation. Green held a town hall meeting on the law, which would require voters to show certain forms of ID. The Justice Department has put the law on hold until Texas comes up with some important information.
Wendy Williams is doin’ great
Talk show host Wendy Williams often asks, “How you doin’?” Williams, for one, is doing fine. Her syndicated show is seen around the world, and reflects her outgoing personality and sense of humor. Williams has a lot to say about her career, her background in radio and her family. She also talks about make-up and of course, her hair.
