I beg to differ on only one point. You should have used the word oligarchy as opposed to monarchy. The folks with the money in Wisconsin are making it impossible for the little people to influence events. I am worried for you Wisconsin.
John said: "I heard Hilary Clinton say "I didn't break any law, did the Koch brothers, or did they use the laws to their advantage LIKE ANY INTELLIGENT PERSON WOULD DO??"
Quite a statement that John (not verified) said on March 23, 2015 - 3:58pm. Perhaps John should provide a link to back it up!
Voter ID laws are usually promoted by their advocates as a defense against voter fraud. In realiy, however, designed to dis enfranchise who tend to vote for progressive candidate.
In the his article "Fascism Anyone?" , Lawrence W Britt includes among methods used by fascist governments to fraudulently manipulate elections, "intimidating and disenfranchising opposition voters, destroying or disallowing legal votes, and, as a last resort, turning to a judiciary beholden to the power elite".
States that have enacted voter id laws have managed to catch a few cases of voter impersonation. Between 2001 and 2010 the national total of such cases was 13. However, in 2008 alone, over 2 million voters were turned away from the polls because of voter id requirements. Urban minority voters were disproportionately affected.
Voter id laws blocked democrat voters more than twice as often as republican voters from casting votes.
Mary, Do you think they dropped ALEC because of all the bad publicity already attached to BP? Also are they connected with the Koch Industries? Anyway, am glad to hear that another big money contributer to ALEC has severed ties.
