MULTILINGUAL VOTING CHAOS COMING SOON TO AN ELECTION NEAR YOU

Did you see it on TV today? There are communities in America who have referendum questions on their ballots that would allow non-residents to vote in municipal elections. Yea, that's right, crazy as it may sound, it's true.

The argument being made by the League of Young Voters is that people who are here legally but are not citizens should be able to vote on issues that affect their pocketbooks and their children. The politically correct position is "oh, my, they live here, they work here, their kids go to school here, so they should be able to vote here." The argument is that "this aligns with what the founders of this country believed, no taxation without representation."

After hearing about this I was left shaking my head, asking myself where in the world do American citizens get their civic education? "Taxation without representation" applies to non-citizens? Where in the Constitution or Bill of Rights does it say that?

Ideally voters should get educated about candidates and issues, but if you are not a citizen why would you care? Legal immigrants may be enticed to vote for policies regarding illegal immigration, more social programs, bilingual education in the schools, things that benefit only immigrants.

And the biggest issue? Without having gone through the becoming-a-citizen process, how do legal immigrants know anything about our Constitution, you know, little things like the 3 branches of government and how they are supposed to work together, and our legal and court system? They may lack sufficient knowledge about our political institutions and issues to cast an intelligent vote.

The question I have is why don't these people who want to have a voice in our government just become citizens? Well, the process can take 3-5 years, but the biggest reason they don't go through the citizenship process is because many of them CANNOT SPEAK ENGLISH well enough to pass the citizenship test.

So I ask you, if legal immigrants are not able to speak our language, THAT IS ENGLISH IN CASE ANYONE HAS FORGOTTEN, then how are they supposed to be able to read a ballot? Oh, I forgot, they will probably be given ballots in their native language.

This is a big deal because there are millions of non-citizen immigrants living here. Yes, I know, the proposal right now is that they should have the right to vote on local issues. But therein lies the first step towards open voting for everyone. This is just another opportunity for rampant voter fraud and a total distortion of our electoral process.

Enough said.

The Lawyer's Party

I got an email with some information written by Bruce Walker*. That's what it says, though I don't know if the name is real. The stats listed are very interesting and I thought I'd share them with you.

Here you go:

The Democratic Party has become the Lawyers' Party. Barack Obama is a lawyer. Michelle Obama is a lawyer. Hillary Clinton is a lawyer. Bill Clinton is a lawyer. John Edwards is a lawyer. Elizabeth Edwards is a lawyer.

Every Democrat nominee since 1984 went to law school, although Gore did not graduate. Every Dem. vice presidential nominee since 1976, except Lloyd Bentsen, went to law school. Look at leaders of the Dem Party in Congress. Harry Reid is a lawyer. Nancy Pelosi is a lawyer.

The Republican Party is different. President Bush is a businessman. VP Cheney is a businessman. Newt Gingrich was a history professor. Tom Delay was an exterminator. dick Armey was an economist. John Boehner was a plastic manufacturer. Bill Frist is a heart surgeon. Who was the last Republican president who was a lawyer? Gerald Ford who left office 31 years ago.

The Republican Party is made up of real people doing real work whom are often the targets of lawyers.

The Lawyers' Party sees these sorts of people who provide goods and serves that people want, as the enemies of America. Against whom do Hillary and Obama rail? Pharmaceutical companies, oil companies, hospitals, manufacturers, fast food restaurant chains, large retail businesses, bankers, and anyone producing anything of value for our nation.

Today we are drowning in laws. We are contorted by judicial decisions. We are driven to distraction by omnipresent lawyers in all areas of our once private lives. America has a place for laws and lawyers, but that place should be modest and reasonable, not vast and unchecked.

When the most important decision for our president is whom he will appoint to the Supreme court the role of lawyers and the law in America is too broad.

When House Democrats sue America (Arizona) in order to hamstring our efforts to learn what our enemies are planning to do to us, then the role of litigation in America has become crushing.

We cannot expect the Lawyers' party to provide real change, real reform or real hope in America. Americans know that a republic in which every major government action must be blessed by nine unelected judges is not what Washington intended in 1789. Americans know that we cannot fight a war when ACLU lawsuits snap at the heels of our defenders.

The U. S. has 5% of the worlds population and 66% of the worlds lawyers. Tort (legal) reform legislation has been introduced in congress several times in the last several years to limit punitive damages in ridiculous lawsuits, such as spilling hot coffee on yourself and suing the establishment that sold it to you, and also to limit punitive damages in huge medical malpractice lawsuits. This legislation has continually been blocked from even being voted on by the Democrat Party. When you see that 97% of the political contributions from the American Trial Lawyer's Association goes to the Democrat Party, then you realize who is responsible for our medical and product costs being so high!

So there it is, Readers. I thought it was an interesting viewpoint. No wonder there is no TORT REFORM in OBAMACARE and the Dems fought the Reps attempts to include it.
