in AP: Voter purges in 6 states may violate law on Election Geek: 2008 Election News 24/7
After watching the story about the ACORN non-profit organization tampering with voter registration by Anderson Cooper tonight, I feel that we have witnessed the beginning of the end of democracy. The democracy in which Americans have gone to war for, to help other countries with virgining democracies to have. The one that brave American soldiers and their allies soldiers have died for; from WWl &WWll and even now in Iraq..... the right to free elections.
democracy "is government by the people in which the supreme power is vested in the people and exercised directly by them or by their elected agents under a free electoral system."
In the phrase of Abraham Lincoln, democracy is a government "of the people,by the people, and for the people."
Now, this day it seems that all those lives that were given, to give us and future generations, this most precious right to a free electoral system may have been in vain.
What a surreal reality, but it is happening and is any one paying attention.
In watched the ACORN story several times, it felt like this could not be happening not in America; it must be some Right-wing dictatorship, Marxist regime, or single-party government dictator who is rigging, falsifying, tampering and fixing voter registrations.
The fraudulent corruption of this National non-profit ACORN group in submitting registration forms with names of dead people, or names and addresses of retail stores and even submitting ones with the different names but signed with the same signature. Also the fact that there was 5000 of them submitted at one registrar’s office (all 5000 were found to be fraudulent), so if we do the math (say 5000 x total registrar’s offices in the country) the grand total of fraudulent voter registration forms if not found and cancelled before the election could very well put the wrong person in office.
Additionally, the fact that Obama gave ACORN approximately $880,000.00 to do voter recruiting and registrations, to me seems a bit suspicious to say the least and later his campaign released a less than sincere or believable response.
Now, if I was running for President I would have been outraged, at the fact that a company that I was associated with was trying to destroy American democracy the very thing that I am supposed to believe and defend. Demanding for police action and strong scrutiny of all of ACORN submissions from all over the country would be the very least you would expect. Funny how we would demand this of a foreign country but not at home where it counts the most.
Imagine an American presidential hopeful not understanding and believing in democratic representative government, a democracy, where the authority of the government derives solely from the consent of the governed and that consent into governmental authority is the holding of free and fair elections.
Are we so single minded focused on the economy that we cannot see that if we let this slide without demanding police action and strong scrutiny of all of ACORN submissions from all over the country we are giving up our right to live in a free and democratic country... and are fully opening the door to Fascism or worse.
God help us! Wake up to the fact that this serious!!!!
