I have no doubt that President Obama would be re-elected if
the GOP did not tamper with the elections. Unfortunately, the Republican Party
is a party without honor and who would cheat and suppress voters in order to
win, especially when they know that their chances of winning are slim to none.
I feel nauseated to see what is happening and how the GOP is
raping our country, our constitution and our rights but most of all I feel sick
that we are letting it happen.
Out of the 50 States of the Union, 29 have a Republican
Governor and 27 a Republican Legislature. These states are more than willing
to do whatever is necessary to win. They have no scruples but that is nothing
new; we remember how they stole the elections in 2004! Now, they are at it
again but this time they are changing the voting laws in their states to make
it more difficult for minorities and seniors to vote. They are well aware that
these groups will vote democratic and are either the majority or could tilt the
balance towards more electoral votes for President Obama.
We must do everything within our power to help secure the
democratic vote. Help people in your area to obtain a valid ID, help them
obtain an absentee ballot, offer to drive them to the voting polls. If you
can, try to rent a van so you can drive more people to vote. We allowed the
Republicans to cheat in the past, but this time we must not sit idle because
this time the danger is even greater. We will be allowing a puppet to hold a
pen and sign whatever he is ordered by Grover Norquist and the Americans for
Tax Reform.
When a country allows things like this to happen, we
stop being a democracy and if we just whine but do nothing to stop it we are silent conspirators of the destruction of this society, this country and the collective
future of this nation.

I think what we are seeing is the Republican Party it it's death throws. They are desperate and cheating is the only way they can see themselves winning.

You're right. ALL of us must get involved!
Thanks Joseph! I agree, in the Union lies the Strength and there is no better time than now for us to unite and help one another.

ReplyDeleteAnonymous... I will assume you are talking about Mormons, but I really don't know and I don't like riddles. The post has nothing to do with religion and everything to do with voting suppression.
