Many people hate corporations. Progressives and populists blame them
for a host of sins, and several libertarians assert they couldn't
exist in their present form without the State. We at DownsizeDC.org
oppose the crony capitalism of the Corporatist State, and we cringe
whenever people assume our pro-free market philosophy is a "defense"
of corporations.
That is why our new campaign is a "heresy." What we propose may shock
you, but we have good reasons.
Our position is that even if you hate corporations . . .
Abolishing corporate income taxes is in your self-interest.
These taxes are unproductive as revenue-generators, but what they
really do is make politicians more powerful, at your expense.
The following letter to Congress explains the benefits of abolishing
the corporate income tax. The hard-wired message to Congress says
Please repeal all corporate income taxes and replace them with
nothing. I then added these personal comments, which you may borrow from or
copy. The facts are plain. At Reason, economist Veronique de Rugy explodes
several myths about the corporate income tax.
(http://reason.com/archives/2011/05/06/the-facts-about-the-corporate)
She demonstrates that . . .
* high corporate income taxes actually reduce employee wages.
* federal revenues from this tax are lower than in other countries,
even though we have the highest tax rate among industrialized nations.
* corporate taxes fund a minuscule part of the federal budget.
On the other hand, if we scrapped corporate income taxes entirely . .
* foreign corporations would move here to take advantage of our ZERO
corporate tax rate.
* the ZERO tax rate would cause many new corporations to form that
wouldn't have been viable under the old tax system.
* costs to comply with the corporate tax would disappear, leading to
expanded investment.
* the number of new jobs would soar, and wages would rise at the same
time.
* the resulting economic expansion would more than offset the "lost
tax revenue." This would also be a sustainable boom, unlike the booms
caused by the Federal Reserve's legalized counterfeiting.
This would be the ultimate economic stimulus. Nothing else could do so
much so fast to boost the economy.
So why isn't this done? Because it's against the interests of the Political
Class. Think about the typical political demagogue. Early in his speech, he
promises to end "tax breaks" to corporations. Then, later in the
speech, without any sense of irony, he says there should be "tax
incentives" to encourage companies to do certain things.
Of course, the tax incentives he says he wants to create are exactly
the same as the kind of tax breaks he says he wants to end, but the
demagogue doesn't want you to connect the dots.
So what he's really saying is that he wants to end tax breaks to some
corporations he doesn't like (probably the ones that have received bad
press) while extending tax breaks to other corporations who will do
what he wants.
Politicians couldn't care less how much revenue the corporate income
tax generates. The revenue isn't the point. The point is the
complicated laws, breaks, and loopholes that the politicians can
manipulate to enhance their own power and importance.
Take the side of the people, NOT the Political Class. Abolishing
corporate income taxes will reduce corporate influence in Congress, by
removing a major incentive for lobbying. It will revive the economy
almost instantly.
ABOLISH CORPORATE INCOME TAXES NOW!
~ ABOLISH CORPORATE INCOME TAX NOW ~
Quote of the Day: "A constitution is not the act of a government, but
of a people constituting a government; and government without a
constitution is power without a right. All power exercised over a
nation, must have some beginning. It must be either delegated, or
assumed. There are not other sources. All delegated power is trust,
and all assumed power is usurpation. Time does not alter the nature
and quality of either." -- Thomas Paine (1737-1809)
The government is making you poor, and making you more poor, still as time
passes by. That's because congress is negotiating
with the White House, on how to make YOU pay high taxes, forever. If not
through higher rates, than through an even more pernicious means...
INFLATION. The deficit makes you poorer. Read that last sentence again,
it's that important. And then ponder this FACT...
Both Democrats and Republicans want to add trillions of dollars to the
national debt. They only disagree about how many trillions, and when
we should schedule the next "debt limit" crisis.
Have you had enough? Or do you think we need Democrat tax rate hikes
or tax by inflation instead?
Do you believe we need...
* a smaller government
* a balanced budget
* and a strong economy
...ASAP?
These can ALL be achieved if Congress simply refuses to raise the debt
limit. They don't even need to schedule a vote! That's why I sent this letter
to Congress using DownsizeDC.org's "Cap the Debt" campaign.
You may borrow from or copy this sample letter...
I believe government is too big and too costly. Capping the debt limit
where it already is will force government to become smaller.
But there's another big reason why you must stop running budget
deficits. The more Congress spends, the weaker my saved dollars
become. This means I have to pay higher prices. It wipes out my
savings. Deficits make me poorer!
Economist Christopher Lingle explains why this will happen.
http://www.thefreemanonline.org/headline/the-threat-is-in-the-spending/
In the second round of Quantitative Easing (QE2) beginning in
November, 2010 . . .
* the Federal Reserve created money out of thin air
* and used it to buy a whopping 85% of all government debt sold by the
Treasury
In other words, your record-setting deficits aren't being financed
through purchases of bonds by you and me, or even by China. Those
dollars are being created out of thin air.
That means the value of those dollars falls, and then prices go up.
The Consumer Price Index may not yet reveal it, but Americans see
prices going up in the grocery aisles.
Your deficit spending is being done through monetary inflation on the
backs of the poor, the elderly on fixed incomes, and even the middle
class you so claim to love.
Moreover, inflation . . .
* Creates uncertainty about future price increases...
* Leading investors to purchase assets and commodities as a hedge
against inflation...
* Instead of investing in new enterprises and business expansion...
* Which means stagnant growth, high unemployment, and depressed wages.
In other words, there is a direct relationship between inflation on
the one hand, and slow economic growth and persistently high
unemployment, on the other. Both are the fault of a Congress that
refuses to make real, dramatic spending cuts. But the leadership of
BOTH parties continues to sell Alice in Wonderland economics. They
would have us believe that all this deficit spending is good for us.
Yet as Lingle points out, another increase in the debt limit will most
likely mean a "QE3" where the Fed will create even more money to
purchase even more federal debt.
Here's what's needed, NOW: A balanced budget. It will bring stability
to the dollar's value. Stability will lead to a greater sense of
certainty for investors and businesses, which will spur new investment
and create jobs.
Stop inflation now. Stop deficits now. Do NOT increase the debt limit!
And demonstrate political courage -- make the cuts.
Because of 'We the People' having demonstrated our power of RELENTLESS PRESSURE upon
Congress, more and more Democrats realize the U.S. is on an unsustainable path
and that reforms must be implemented NOW instead of putting them off any longer.
The vote was good news, but this is only the beginning of the fight.
WE ARE HOLDING THE LINE . . .
NO increase on the debt ceiling.
Unless you tell your Representative and Senators where you stand, they
may be tempted to cut a deal which will raise the debt limit while
making only symbolic and marginal spending cuts.
Both Democrats and Republicans need to learn from history,
particularly the Democratic Truman Administration. That's why I sent
this letter to Congress, from which you may borrow or copy . . .
I understand the concern you have about making the drastic spending
cuts necessary to balance the budget and maintain the current debt
ceiling.
However, the last time the national debt was this high relative to
Gross Domestic Product (GDP) was at the end of World War II.
Economists Jason E. Taylor and Richard K. Vedder tell us what a
Democratic-controlled White House and Congress did to the budget after
World War II. They . . .
* slashed spending by more than 50% in one year
* removed ten million servicemen and one million civilian employees
from the federal payroll
* lifted wartime economic controls, AS WELL AS many New Deal era
regulations/Instead of a new Depression, the opposite occurred . . .
* The economy grew by 10% in two years
* Unemployment was under 4.5% in the first three postwar years
* By 1947, budget surpluses reached 6% of GDP, and the U.S. started
paying down the debt
This isn't surprising. It makes economic sense . . .
* More money is available for capital investment and economic growth,
when government spends, taxes, and borrows less.
* It is less expensive to hire new workers, when regulations are reduced.
PLEASE DO NOW, WHAT CONGRESS DID THEN:
1. End the wars, cancel defense contracts, and bring the troops home.
2.Cut spending to balance the budget, AND lift regulations that strangle the economy.
3.Follow the 1946, Truman formula, and America will adapt quickly to a
more free and more prosperous reality.
For 25 years, I’d been a successful go-between for independent lumber mills and retail lumber yards. I was a successful entrepreneur. Unfortunately, before Nixon left office he established price controls favoring a few corporate giants in the lumber industry. Thousands of independents were put out of business.
Government was responsible for the double digit inflation—called stagflation—that put me out of business. People couldn’t afford 15 percent interest rates on home mortgages. My business depended on homes being built.
Congress has the constitutional authority to regulate commerce, but no authority to control the economy. It is an assumed authority with an ulterior motive. American’s politicians are playing a shell game, the motive of which is to divide and conquer. The free enterprise system that gave me the opportunity to build a successful business, destroyed by price controls and stagflation, America’s political maneuver aimed at turning the nation into a collectivist autocracy, this colossal fraud and the American people’s passivity has wrecked America’s free enterprise system.
West Va. State Board of Education v. Barnette:
The very purpose of the Bill of Rights was to withdraw certain subjects from the vicissitudes of political controversy, to place them beyond the reach of majorities and officials and establish them as legal principles to be applied by the courts. One’s right to life, liberty, and property. . . and other fundamental rights may not be submitted to vote; they depend on the outcome of no elections.
The above Court decision was written by Justice Jackson. Jackson was one of the judges at the Nuremburg trials in Germany after World War II. The Nazis on trial claimed they were following German law. Likewise America’s politicians, who have invented an income tax (now 3,000,000 words long), the aim being to redistribute the nation’s wealth, the motive to buy votes with our money, falsely claim to be following the law. “One’s right to life, liberty, and property and other fundamental rights may not be submitted to vote; they depend on the outcome of no elections.” The Bill of Rights was added to the Constitution to stop politicians from doing exactly what they are doing, I might add, with the leftist press’ overwhelming approval.
I heard Chief Justice Black say that the Constitution was what he said it was. The Supreme Court, by decree, is America’s super legislature. I say to hell with that.
I’d not spent one day in law school. I knew the law, not how to get around it. I was not about to allow Nazi law to prevail in America without a fight.
If I have a personal stake in the outcome, I am permitted to take the Commissioner of Internal Revenue to court. What did Moses do to free his people? He went to the highest authority. I’d written Attorney General William B. Saxbe a letter letting him know that I believed federal income tax was unconstitutional—as it applied to me—and that I’d see him in court. Prior to my letter, I had read law professor Edward S. Corwin’s The “Higher Law” Background of American Constitutional Law, incidentally, published in 1925, the year of my birth. In the year of my birth, also, Congress authorized the IRS to examine personal records for income tax purposes. Little did the American people know what that meant in 1925. At the time, only the rich paid income tax. Live and learn.
America’s unscrupulous press set me up. I was on a nutcake rant, one of those “spurious constitutional objectors” judges talked about, and you read about in the newspaper. I was an illegal tax protester. What you didn’t read was that I was acting under the law.
Saxbe, the IRS’ lawyer, forwarded my letter to the IRS. With the authority to examine this illegal tax protester’s personal records, the IRS, simply because I wrote the Attorney General a letter, in violation of my constitutional right to be secure in my possessions, which prohibited unreasonable searches and seizures—Amendment IV—a federal autocrat trespassed my Fourth Amendment right. Be informed that the word legal is merely the form of law. Hitler was legal. An IRS agent legally entered this illegal tax protester’s home, unconstitutionally, and spent a week going through my personal records. The motive was to intimidate. Without showing me any of the notes he took, and without comment, other than to notify me that I failed to report $5,000 of taxable income, the IRS departed. The IRS called to set up an appointment. I told the IRS to go straight to hell. If you think things were going to go very badly for me you are wrong. Things went very badly for the IRS. I had the law. The IRS hung itself with its own rope.
Ostensibly, in an effort to spur growth and hiring, but actually putting off on tomorrow’s taxpayers an enormous debt, President Obama, Congress, and the Federal Reserve have flooded the economy with monopoly money—no way to help the economy. Unemployment rates refuse to dip below their current levels of around 9.1, while inflation pressures and other harmful side effects of such corrupt policies are becoming more and more threatening. The above named are actually bent on controlling the economy, thus the American people. The egomaniacs the American people elect, the same as Hitler, Stalin, and Mao, feel that they know what is best for America,
The founding fathers named U.S. currency after a Spanish-milled dollar, which represented 371.25 grains of pure silver, and placed protecting its value a congressional responsibility. The above named frauds have no authority to deliberately devalue the dollar through inflation. Protectionism, tax increases, attacking the free enterprise system, in the courts and through regulations, creating a climate of uncertainty, these were the very ways birds-of-feather created the Great Depression. Get ready for a depression that will make the Great Depression look like prosperity.
By John W. Lillpop
Just one year from today, on November 6, 2012, Americans will be empowered to end the nightmare occupation of our precious homeland by Barack Hussein Obama, a dedicated socialist who has great disdain for American history and values and who came into office with the arrogant notion that he had the experience and wisdom to ‘fundamentally transform’ the greatest nation in human history.
As of this date, November 6, 2011, the Obama Administration has been an unmitigated disaster, both domestically and internationally.
Barring some dramatic event, or series of events, this man will be sent back to the streets of Chicago (or Honolulu) after one tumultuous term in which he, assigned responsibility as the chief law enforcement authority of the nation, scoffed at the rule of law and encouraged illegal behavior by others, while personally violating the Constitution in order to advance his extreme ideological agenda.
Barack Obama’s involuntary exit on January 20, 2013 will be welcomed with a huge sigh of relief by scores of millions of Americans who demand change--of the sort that will unshackle them from oppressive government.
For all of his policy gaffes, the most important failing of Barack Obama is that he never really seemed an American in spirit, or as some contend, by birth.
Moreover, owing to his bitter disrespect for American history and values, Barack Obama never seemed comfortable serving as president of the nation he so despised.
God willing, on January 20, 2013, Barack Obama will be set free.
Concurrently, God willing, the American people will begin the process of healing from the nightmare that has consumed and divided this great nation for four long years.
The big question: Can the American people wait another full year for the redemption of our treasured values and heritage?

Posted on The Daily Caller-By Matthew Boyle, The Daily Caller-On November 4, 2011:
“Montana Republican Rep. Denny Rehberg is calling for Attorney General Eric Holder’s immediate resignation, becoming the 35th member of Congress to demand it.
“It’s become clear that in his efforts to advance the President’s anti-gun agenda, Eric Holder was willing to cross lines that should never have been crossed,” Rehberg said in a statement Friday morning. “Mr. Holder has lost the public confidence necessary to do his job.”
“He has also put our Second Amendment Rights, rights he swore to uphold, in serious danger,” Rehberg continued. “Mr. Holder should immediately resign, and the Senate should refuse to confirm anyone who won’t respect our gun rights.”
As of Thursday morning, there were 34 Congressmen calling for Holder’s immediate resignation and many more have publicly stated their distrust of him. Rehberg brings that number to 35, adding extra clout to the fight as chairman of the House appropriations committee’s subcommittee on Labor, Health and Human Services, Education and Related Agencies.
Virginia Republican Senate candidate Jamie Radtke also told The Daily Caller she thinks “all indications are that Eric Holder perjured himself.”
“If he perjured himself and was involved in selling guns to the Mexican Drug Cartel, he should be removed from office and charges should be immediately considered,” Radtke said in an email to TheDC.
Radtke is running against former Virginia Gov. and U.S. Senator George Allen, and others, in the Virginia Republican Senate primary. Whoever earns the GOP nomination will face former Democratic National Committee chairman Tim Kaine in the 2012 race.
Allen’s campaign did not respond to TheDC’s request for a statement on whether the former governor believes Holder should resign.
Members of Congress who have previously called for Holder’s immediate resignation include: Rep. Connie Mack, Rep. Walter Jones, Rep. Dan Burton, House Transportation Committee chairman Rep. John Mica, House Small Business Committee chairman Rep. Sam Graves and Reps. Ted Poe, Blake Farenthold, Louie Gohmert, Quico Canseco, Rodney Alexander, Paul Gosar, Allen West, Tim Huelskamp, Mike Pompeo, Duncan Hunter, Devin Nunes, Dennis Ross, Trent Franks, Lynn Jenkins, Raul Labrador, Joe Walsh, Gus Bilirakis, Paul Broun, Randy Hultgren, Stephen Fincher, John Culberson, Michael Grimm, Andy Harris, Mike Coffman, Kenny Marchant, Thaddeus McCotter, Diane Black, Bob Latta and Vicky Hartzler.
No Democrats have called for Holder’s resignation yet. On Thursday when he called for Holder to step down, National Rifle Association president David Keene told TheDC Democrats are playing politics to protect the high-ranking members of their political party.”

What’s wrong with this picture?
Posted on Judicial Watch-On November 1, 2011:
“In this new era of political correctness, the U.S. Army has published a special handbook for soldiers that appears to justify Islamic jihad by describing it as the “communal military defense of Islam and Muslims when they are threatened or under attack.”
Because radical Muslim groups consider Islam to be perpetually under moral, spiritual, economic, political and military attack by the “secular west” they consider military jihad a “constant necessity” and use it as a “rallying cry to resist and attack all this is un-Islamic,” according to the new Army manual.
The handbook was created to help soldiers become “culturally literate” ambassadors with sensitivity and understanding of Islamic civilization. The goal is to help them understand how vital culture is in accomplishing military missions. Military personnel who have a distorted picture of a host culture make enemies for the United States. At least that’s what the publication (“Culture Cards: Afghanistan & Islamic Culture”) says. An organization of scientists dedicated to national and international security issues discovered the new Army tool and published it on its website a few days ago.
The manual has nearly three dozen informative chapters dedicated to subjects such as Muslim taboos, the five pillars if Islam, Jihad, the Quran and Muslim festivals. There are also sections on ethnocentrism, cultural relativism and social norms and mores. The lengthy introduction defines cultural competency—awareness and sensitivity of another group—and social norms and mores in Arab countries.
The portion on jihad is especially interesting because it’s described as a wide-ranging term that includes the everyday spiritual and moral struggle to live a life submitted to God, the attempt to spread Islam by education and example, and the communal military defense of Islam and Muslims when they are threatened or under attack. Today radical Muslim groups consider Islam to be perpetually under attack by the “secular West” – morally, spiritually, economically, politically and militarily, the Army handbook says. They thus consider military jihad as a constant necessity, and use jihad as a rallying cry to resist and attack all that is un-Islamic.
At the end of each section there is a question that’s supposed to stimulate “critical thinking.” At the end of the jihad section the question is: “How can the concept of jihad add legitimacy to the claims and aims of Al Qaeda and others?It would certainly be interesting to see how most enlisted men and women, or American civilians for that matter, would answer that particular question.
The new Army manual concludes by revealing all the things that make soldiers “culturally literate.” Among them are appreciating and accepting diverse beliefs, appearances and lifestyles, understanding the dangers of stereotyping and ethnocentrism and understanding Islamic and jihadist cultures.”

The following is a quote from “Dreams of My Father”, President
Obama’s book:
“To avoid being mistaken for a sellout, I choose my friends
carefully. The more politically active black students. The foreign students. The Chicanos. The Marxist professors and structural feminists,”
who or what is he selling out,I believe it is clear to any right thinking person.
“It is unconscionable that the Obama administration would stand in the way of honoring our nation’s distinguished World War II veterans,” Johnson said. “President Roosevelt’s prayer gave solace, comfort and strength to our nation and our brave warriors as we fought against tyranny and oppression.”
I’m a World War II veteran. I wrote the following in my book of memoirs this morning.
The IRS sent me a phony tax assessment and ordered me to come in and discuss the tax I allegedly owed. His enormous belly hanging over his belt, his shirt buttons close to popping off, tie askew, red faced, his eyes bulged when I told the slob that I’d see the IRS in court. The response: “Oh, you’re one of those Fifth Amendment freaks. We know how to deal with you.”
The Fifth Amendment says I have the right to be heard in a meaningful way in a meaningful place. It’s called “due process of law.” Government’s replacement of due process of law with Nazi law affects families. The family used to be America’s cornerstone.
People like me who protest society’s rational laws are seen by government officials as mentally deficient. This is also the view of some in the medical orthodoxy. My behavior fits the description of schizotypal personality disorder. I suffer perceptual distortion. Come to think of it, that was the Nazi view. A key symptom of schizophrenia is hearing voices. When I studied the Constitution, I felt that voices of the past were speaking to me.
The Veteran’s Administration doctor asked me if I heard voices. I’ve experienced clairvoyance, a symptom of schizophrenia. Schizophrenics believe they are God-directed. Another symptom, I trust in God. I do “irrational things,” according to the “educated.”
I recently underwent a brain scan in the Veteran’s hospital. They didn’t find anything wrong in my brain. Officialdom need not worry anymore. This veteran isn’t going to blow up the Whitehouse.
But Mr. President, we note that life is getting worse for the average American. You are not creating jobs. America’s morals are slipping. America has lost much of her world respect, lost her excellent credit rating, and government spending is more out of control. You are still fighting losing wars. I’m worried about you. You appear to suffer from schizotypal personality disorder.
My life is as good as life gets. Take your choice, “education” or experience.
What’s wrong with this picture?
Posted on WND.com-By Bob Unruh-On November 4, 2011:
“A Minnesota congressman has proposed federal legislation that would impose his state’s type of voter registration – which leads the nation in voter fraud cases – on the other 49 states, according to critics who have launched online campaigns to make people aware of the dangers of Rep. Keith Ellison’s H.R. 3316 and its companion H.R. 3317.
“Our votes control trillions of public dollars, yet Ellison would have us believe nobody would ever steal them. We can trust everybody, right?” said a commentary posted on the Election Integrity Watch site.
“Would you keep your money in a bank that allowed people to make withdrawals without checking their identity and verifying that they are entitled to the money?” the site wondered.
In a commentary promoting his H.R. 3316, which would banish all photo identification requirements, and H.R. 3317, which would allow people to walk into a polling location, register and vote immediately, Ellison said his intent is to curb “voter suppression.”
“The Same Day Registration Act would require states to provide for same day voter registration for a federal election. The Voter Access Protection Act would make sure election officials cannot require photo identification in order to cast a vote or register to vote,” he said.
Get “Taking America Back,” Joseph Farah’s manifesto for sovereignty, self-reliance and moral renewal
He said there are 34 state legislatures that have considered bills requiring photo ID to vote.
“These are solutions in search of a problem,” he said. “Statistics show an infinitesimal number of proven voting fraud cases occurring in the United States. And these few cases have been successfully prosecuted like any other criminal offense.”
However, an organization that monitors elections in Minnesota and roots out fraudulent votes is warning ballot fraud is on the rise across the nation, and if unchecked, the ultimate consequences would be an electorate that simply doesn’t believe the system works and refuses to participate – “a total breakdown in the cohesion of American society.”
That’s from Executive Director Dan McGrath of the Minnesota Majority, which advocates for traditional values in state and federal public policy through grassroots activism. The group also contributes to the work ofElectionIntegrityWatch.com to focus specifically on elections and voter fraud.
Minnesota Majority reported that its investigations of fraud allegations arising from the 2008 general election in the state so far have resulted in 113 convictions. Another 200 or so cases are being processed or are pending but might not be completed because the statute of limitations expires this month, three years after the election.
And a stunning 2,800 or more cases cannot be prosecuted because of the wording in the Minnesota state law that essentially requires voter fraud participants to admit they knew what they were doing was illegal in order for a conviction to be obtained, the organization said.
The organization’s report on voter fraud said the convictions appear to be the highest number since a scheme in Jackson County, Mo., in 1936 resulted in 259 individuals convicted of voter fraud.
A more recent effort by the U.S. Department of Justice that encompassed five years resulted in just 53 convictions, the group said.
“It’s mind-boggling to me that as a tiny non-profit corporation, we netted more than double the number of convictions in one year than the U.S. Department of Justice was able to find in five,” said Minnesota Majority president Jeff Davis in a statement on the results.
The group identified a wide range of illegal votes, including incapacitated patients at a mental health home who have guardians and are not eligible to vote to “upwards of 2,800 ineligible felons believed to have unlawfully voted in Minnesota’s 2008 general election.”
“These convictions are just the tip of the iceberg,” said Davis. “The actual number of illegal votes cast was in the thousands. Most unlawful voters were never charged with a crime because they simply pled ignorance. We have evidence of these people casting illegal ballots, but in Minnesota, ignorance of election law is considered to be an acceptable defense.”
It’s not just in Minnesota.
The organization lists reports from dozens of locations around the nation where voter fraud cases have been brought, and convictions won, by prosecutors. Among them are a 10-year prison term for an NAACP leader for vote fraud, several cases in Houston, more in Wisconsin and some in Florida.
Ellison, whose schemes are being cosponsored by Reps. Yvette Clarke of New York, Marcia Fudge of Ohio, Raul Grijalva of Arizona, Alcee Hastings of Florida, Barbara Lee of California, Gwen Moore of Wisconsin and Jose Serrano of New York, noted that such “fraud” “seems to be occurring only within historically Democratic voting blocs like minorities and students.”
He said organizations critical of looser voting procedures “have no problem squashing these groups’ voting rights – or the rights of elderly voters.”
He continued, “Imagine an 80-year-old grandmother, who has never driven and uses a wheelchair, going through the process of getting non-drivers ID. If her Social Security card is accepted identification for her benefits, why isn’t it good enough to identify her for voting?”
McGrath told WND that Ellison’s proposals for the nation are very similar to the procedures now used in his home state of Minnesota, which “right now is leading the nation in convictions for voter fraud.”
“He wants to take a system producing more fraud than anywhere else in the country and impose it on all states,” he said.
“Voting is a right, but it’s a qualified right. You have to be at least 18 years old, a citizen of our country, resident of the state and precinct, and not be a convicted felon still serving your term or mentally incompetent.”
He said the system is set up with all of these qualifications, yet under Ellison’s plan, “we’re supposed to take people’s word for it.”
The 2nd Amendment also gives people the right to own a gun, but there are verifications and qualifications there, too, he said.
He said “some would argue” those with ill motives can do more damage with an illegal vote than an illegal gun, because the vote can affect “everybody in the country.”
McGrath said the move is more than just an effort by Ellison, as the issue has been “brewing for awhile.”
He said when voter registration and identification laws have been tightened in specific states, voter participation actually has gone up.
“It goes to that confidence that participation will make a difference,” he said.
In Minnesota, he said, prosecutions are rising at least partly because of a new team of county attorneys elected in 2010 who are taking the violations of voting laws seriously.
Also posting comments on the issue was the We Want Voter ID site, which carried an image of Ellison “holding” a sign stating “Voter Fraud For All!”
“The net effect of Ellison’s two bills is to allow anyone and everyone to cast a ballot on Election Day without any mechanism to verify their identity, citizenship, eligibility, or that they live in the state and precinct they are voting in,” it said.
With estimates that range into the tens of millions for the number of illegal aliens inside the United States, races easily could be decided on those counts, officials noted.
Minnesota Majority notes that in 2008, the Minnesota U.S. Senate race was decided by just 312 votes.
“Never in our state’s history did the words ‘every vote counts’ ring so true. However, a cloud of doubt still hangs over the results. Post-election analysis showed that hundreds of ineligible felons voted in the election. Over 17,000 more ballots were counted than voters accounted for as having voted in our Statewide Voter Registration System. Over 23,000 addresses provided by Election Day registrants could not be verified. Voter rolls contained the names of non-citizens and deceased individuals,” the organization reported.
What that means is that Sen. Al Franken, D-Minn., may not have won, although he has been casting votes from his U.S. Senate seat ever since, the group said.
“Political analysts estimate that voter fraud may account for 3 percent of the vote in any given election. Applying this statistic to Minnesota’s 2006 gubernatorial election, that would mean that we would have had over 66,000 fraudulent votes. Remember that Gov. Pawlenty won this election by just 21,000 votes,” the organization reported.
Sens. Russ Feingold of Wisconsin and Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota endorsed Ellison’s plan, explaining, in Feingold’s words, “We should constantly be looking for ways to make it easier for Americans to exercise that right [to vote].”
ElectionIntegrityWatch notes that photo ID laws in more than a dozen states have been challenged “and plaintiffs have not yet produced a single voter who would be disenfranchised by those laws.”
McGrath said the potential ramifications are very serious for the nation, and “that’s why we’ve been so dogged about this.”
“The foundation of the country rests on the confidence of the people that they’re being represented,” he said. “That they have a voice in the process. If they feel they have become disenfranchised, they’ll ask, ‘What reason do I have to participate?’
“That’s why it’s so very alarming.”
It was just last month that former Indiana Gov. Joe Kernan said a signature on a petition to put Barack Obama on the state’s primary ballot in 2008 isn’t his.
The Democrat, who had campaigned for Hillary Clinton, told the Associated Press the printing next to the signature doesn’t even look like his.
He was among dozens of people contacted by the South Bend Tribune who declined to verify that their names on the petition were in their handwriting.
Officials called for a federal investigation.
WND also previously reported that a number of names among ACORN’s “shock troops” have been linked to or convicted of perjury, forgery, identity theft and election fraud in recent years.
Mathew Vadum, a senior editor for the Capital Research Center, released before Obama took office a report titled“ACORN: Who Funds the Weather Underground’s Little Brother?” documenting the troubled past and problems facing the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now.
The organization for which Obama at one point trained activists and to which he directed grants while aboard the management of the Woods Fund established a reputation for doing pretty much as it pleases, the report said.
While the election 2008 controversies over electoral fraud efforts “have been indelibly imprinted in the public consciousness,” Vadum said, that work is only a “smidgen of what ACORN actually does.”
While ACORN officially went out of business earlier this year, Vadum has documented how most of the people involved simply reported many times to the same offices and same work desks, just under the name of a new organization.
The issue of misbehavior at the polls caught the attention of the public in 2008 when voter intimidation by members of the New Black Panther Party was caught on video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=neGbKHyGuHU&feature=player_embedded
The Justice Department originally brought a case against the organization and several individuals who witnesses say derided voters with catcalls of “white devil” and “cracker” and told them they should prepare to be “ruled by the black man.”
One poll watcher called police after he reportedly saw one of the men brandishing a nightstick to threaten voters.
“As I walked up, they closed ranks, next to each other,” the witness told Fox News at the time. “So I walked directly in between them, went inside and found the poll watchers. They said they’d been here for about an hour. And they told us not to come outside because a black man is going to win this election no matter what.”
He said the man with a nightstick told him, “’We’re tired of white supremacy,’ and he starts tapping the nightstick in his hand. At which point I said, ‘OK, we’re not going to get in a fistfight right here,’ and I called the police.”
Subsequently, former DOJ attorney J. Christian Adams testified before the U.S. Civil Rights Commission that the Voting Section of Attorney General Eric Holder’s organization is dominated by a “culture of hostility” toward bringing cases against blacks and other minorities who violate voting-rights laws.
Further, two other former U.S. Department of Justice attorneys later corroborated key elements of the explosive allegations by Adams.
One of Adams’ DOJ colleagues, former Voting Section trial attorney Hans A. von Spakovsky, told WND he saw Adams was being attacked in the media for lack of corroboration. He said he knew Adams was telling the truth, so he decided on his own to step forward.
Adams had been ordered by his superiors to drop a case prosecutors already had won against the New Black Panthers. When they were ordered to stop prosecution, Adams and the team of DOJ lawyers had already won the case by default because the New Black Panthers declined to defend themselves in court. At that point in the proceedings, the DOJ team was simply waiting for the judge to assign penalties against the New Black Panthers.”
