You Can't Vote Your Choice in Nevada

An Assembly Caucus meeting was held in the spring of this year. At that meeting the bill I was proposing to address the problem of illegal immigration was ridiculed by two people I thought were my friends. Today, I know better. One began the dismantling by telling the caucus that my bill would bankrupt the state. The other agreed wholeheartedly. The bill would have mirrored the law passed in Oklahoma and gone after both illegals and those who knowingly hire them.

Remember the famous catch phrase that Bush Jr. proclaimed while he was raking in millions of dollars of bribe money from Mexico, “…doing jobs that Americans won’t do.”? He uttered that bit of rubbish while at the same time his friends in corporate America were firing American workers and shipping those lost jobs overseas.

Here in Southern Nevada we have developers building massive billion dollar resorts. In nearly every case the contractors doing the work have dozens of illegals on the job site. Many of these illegal workers carry the same phony social security ID as their buddy. Big business loves the idea of being able to pay upwards of ten wetbacks for the price of one American. Bush should have said his catchphrase a little differently, “…doing jobs that Americans won’t do at that price.” It’s a funny thing about the United States, we citizens insist on being treated fairly. Here in Nevada, it appears that the Republican Party considers fairness, real fairness, not that phony liberal nonsense, unfair. I suppose that is why they have worked overtime to remove Nevada’s citizens from the political process. You see, if the voter cannot have a direct impact on the fundamental decisions that affect their daily lives, the corrupt have an additional layer of protection.

The Fifteenth Amendment of the United States Constitution reads thusly: Section. 1. The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude.

Section. 2. The Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.

Two brief paragraphs and one huge impact. It is no wonder that in recent history several states have had highly contentious court cases over what this amendment actually says. As far as the English language is concerned, the most important word in this right is the word, “abridged”. That means that if any person, entity, agency or government does anything to prevent a legal voter from voting for the person of their choice, they have violated the constitution. If a state passes a law restricting the ballot process, that state has violated the constitution. Well, here in Nevada, we apparently love illegal immigration. We even register them to vote as the Acorn story proves. However, we don’t want the legal citizens to vote freely, we only want them to vote for what the political parties say they can. Even though a write-in ballot is provided by federal law and you can go online and print one out, Nevada won’t let you use it. I know the 10th Amendment gives certain rights to the states, but it doesn’t do that.

Unfortunately, try to get your rights reestablished in a state that has nearly every legislator and judge bought and paid for by those businesses profiting from corruption.
Bankrupt the state? Maybe that isn’t such a bad thing.

A Tiny Acorn Grows…

Look for charges of massive voter fraud from the Obama campaign when McCain and Palin win this November. The race will be tight, but Middle America, the forgotten voter, ignored by both parties where legislation is concerned, will not be able to swallow the lack of substance in the Obama message. It will be Sarah Palin who gives the White House to McCain. If he had gone with the running mate the party leadership desired, McCain would lose the race for the Presidency by over 20 points. If the McCain campaign would allow Mrs. Palin to be herself and let her campaign as she has already proven she can…Obama would be the one losing by a landslide. He knows that and has already prepared his plan B.

Obama has approximately 9000 lawyers in the wings with briefs already prepared to file when McCain/Palin win. They are going to claim racism, poll-fixing, intimidation and fraud on the part of the GOP. The intimidation charge is the interesting one. Apparently it is intimidation if you have oversight at the polls, especially if that oversight actually does its job by making sure that those voting are legally entitled to do so.

Here in my local region of Las Vegas, Obama’s Acorn grew into a clone of the Dallas Cowboys. The Democrat voter rolls in Nevada grew exponentially as Acorn workers managed to sign, in some cases, several people with the same identities as the football players. According to Acorn, the quarterback, Tony Romo, was so enthusiastic for Obama that he registered a number of times.

Just like Obama’s support of Bill Ayers, even after such support went far into the arena of interest conflict, his Acorn has continued to work against the interests of America in favor of a socialist agenda. Breaking the law, to them, is not immoral if you do so for “the cause”. This is roughly the same mindset as what is held by those who send children out to blow themselves up in the middle of open air restaurants.

Obama’s fingerprints are all over this current crisis, but so is most of the Bush Administration. People are angry in this country for a reason, and the McCain camp is ignoring them. If McCain’s handlers do what they know they should do, that anger will be focused properly and the thieves at Acorn, Fanny Mae, Freddy Mac and the Fed will go to prison as they should.

Don’t look for any changes in the McCain camp. Too many of them are also guilty of enabling this mess. The truth be told, they do not like Palin’s honesty, hence her muzzling. Good old-fashioned common sense and the principles this country was founded upon, things both the D’s and the GOP have forgotten, could erase this crisis overnight, therefore, look for it to drag on, and on, and on. This Acorn has produced exactly the oak Obama wanted.
