What IF?
It's February 2010, and a newly-emboldened democratic Congress - having successfully passed healthcare, cap 'n trade, and card check- now seeks to eradicate ALL possibility of "voter disenfranchisement."
A new bill speeds through both chambers, called the "Americans for Fair Elections Act." Nancy Pelosi calls it "breakthrough legislation." Harry Reid dubs it, "America's best way to assure increased participation in the democratic process."
But the proposal is neither; in fact, quite the OPPOSITE: It enables anyone - any John Doe or Mary Smith - to go to ANY library or post office (similar to filing one's income tax) and pick up an absenteee ballot form; fill it out, sign, and mail in. Universal voting by mail.
Just before the final measure is voted on in the Senate, Chuck Schumer (D-NY) comes forth with his amendment, allowing that any voter can pick up additional blank ballots and distribute them to other "voters" in their county as they see fit - no limitations on number.
Sound improbable? Think again! Democrats everywhere are out to subvert our inviolable electoral process, and are slowly but surely getting away with it!
ITEM: April 15, 2008, Ohio Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner introduces her proposal permitting every Ohio county the option of asking voters whether they want to conduct elections entirely by mail: Ohio's legislature would give counties the authority to put a vote-by-mail issue on the ballot. Brunner's reasoning? Counties would find voting by mail "more convenient" and "less expensive" than opening polls on Election Day. Brunner also wants more early-voting locations, and early drop-off points for absentee ballots.
ITEM: Because of the efforts of Edward M. Kennedy, the Massachusetts State Legislature grants the Senator's dying wish - authorizing Governor Duval Patrick to immediately name an interim U.S. Senator - bypassing a pre-existing law, requiring a 90-day wait.
ITEM: In Minnesota, "relaxed" voter laws permit people to register & vote on election day at the polling sites. There is no ID requirement. No way of confirming residence within the precinct - or whether they're even CITIZENS. If you've registered before the election, you simply tell them your name and vote - no ID required.
ITEM: The "Association for Community Organizers Now" fight a pending lawsuit in Allegheny County, Pa., denying that workers use registration quotas as conditions for employment - declaring their mission of preventing voter disenfranchisement. However, ACORN was active in but SEVEN states in the 2008 general election - all falling under the definition of "tossup" or "battleground states."
ITEM: In the New Jersey 2008 election, voters are not required to give a tangible reason - such as illness or travel - to vote absentee. Governor Jon Corzine had been instrumental in the passing of a "no-excuses" absentee voter law in December of 2007.
New Jersey has had more than its share of razor-close gubernatorial elections, starting with Tom Kean's (R) 1,700-vote victory over Jim Florio (D) in 1981, plus two narrow wins by Republican Christie Whitman in the 1990s. Hence, the democrats have come prepared: they have "seeded" Hispanic and black districts in Camden and Newark with a deluge of absentee ballots.
New Jersey has received a flood of 180,000 absentee ballot requests - a ten-fold increase from 2008. On some 3,000 forms, the signature variates with the one on file with county clerks. But citing concerns that "voters would be disenfranchised," New Jersey's secretary of state has been petitioned to NOT deny applications on the basis of signature comparison alone.
Yes, those doggone, nettlesome absentee ballots. What shall we do about them?
With all the paper (and the trees) being used up, plus all that expensive ink; and (horrors) having to buy a first class stamp, plus time wasted in getting to a mailbox - surely there's a better way.
Of course! Why not telephone voting? What could be more un-disenfranchising than that?
Just think of the effort and taxpayer money saved!
Think of all the "newly-enfranchised" elderly, confined in nursing homes. Think of the homeless - now able to vote over the phone at the local rescue mission. And think about all the prisoners locked within the jails and penitentiaries, who can easily phone in their ballots - spreading democracy to every possible voter in America!
Let no one anywhere be denied the vote!
As ridiculous as it all sounds, will it eventually come to that? Where we permit these out-of-control democratic legislatures (and secretaries of state) to make a mockery of the basic tenet of our democracy - one man...ONE vote. But already, we may have reached the point of no return.
If the Minnesota State (democratic) Supreme Court had not decided against EVERY Norm Coleman challenge to the unequal tallying of absentee ballots - giving Al Franken his tainted, 312 vote victory, would we even be worried about government health care, or card check, or cap 'n trade?
The Senate democrats - having only 59 votes - would not have been able to stop these Stalinlist ideas from being filibustered to death.
Or how about if the Massachusetts legislature had not caved in to Ted Kennedy, and allowed the ninety-day waiting period to stand?
In either case, the radical Senate democrats would have remained one frustrating vote short!
Is this not the most basic form of dis-enfranchisement; where a legislature, secretary of state, or a court acts in denial of the will of the majority...or entirely eliminates Republicans from the legislative process? What more dastardly deed can be done to our democratic republic?
For the first time, our nation is threatened by tyranny from within:
-the tyranny of a Congress, who is at war with its own constituents
-the tyranny of state legislatures, who vote for relaxed electoral procedures - making a travesty of what our Founding Fathers intended
-the tyranny of democratic secretaries of states, continuing to push the envelope ever further toward anytime, anywhere, no-ID-required voting
-the tyranny of democratic Supreme Courts, who uphold any challenges whenever Republicans file lawsuits in state courts
So good luck all you tea partiers, birthers and talk-show calllers. You're singing to the choir. Your protests are falling on deaf ears.
None of this fraud - where we are now held captive by the margin of but one Senate vote - would have happened if these democrats had not been allowed to get away with it!
Long ago, concerned citizens - in conjunction with republican legislators - should have taken measures to stop the trend, and act in likewise manner to prevent it.
But is it now too late? Now that the absentee ballot "genie" has escaped from the bottle, can it be put bacK?
Conservative Americans must unite in one voice and say... "No more election fraud."
This has nothing to do with disenfranchisement - it does have everything to do with preserving democracy, and opposing these democratic subversives, who seek to stack the deck against fair elections, and literally steal every contest decided within a margin of error.
Can there be any worse crime than stifling the true intent of the majority - replacing it with the chicanery of the minority? Liberal voters are now outnumbered by as much as two to one vs. conservatives and moderates. Yet liberal candidates have won every recount election in the U.S in the last 15 years.
And conservatives have no one to blame but themselves!
When the Massachusetts legislature was overturning the existing senatorial succession law, were there any tea parties held in front of their chamber - where a resounding "NO CHANGE" message could have been conveyed to legislators?
When Republican incumbent Norm Coleman continued to lose challenge-after-challenge in that long, drawn-out recount, were there any tea parties held near the Minnesota state capitol to protest this travesty?
Or how about ACORN? Despite the fact that there are voter fraud accusations flying around everywhere, have any of these criminal thugs served for any length of time in prison?
Where is the tea party outrage about that?
Thomas Jefferson once wrote: "One man with courage is a majority."
Will Americans continue to sit back and watch their republic literally seep away every November through the corruption of the electoral process? Do we just sit back and complain about the loss of our liberty? Or do we have the courage to speak out and bitterly oppose it?
Criminals are inherently evil. They always continue their sprees until they are caught and punished; otherwise, they continue to wreak their havoc on those unfortunates who stand in their way.
The analogy is obvious. If these democratic thugs are not thwarted, they will continue their unconscionable voter fraud that permeates our elections - undermining our democracy for their own selfish ends: the perpetuation of power.
These are the true hate crimes against America.
