Vote for who you support. It is the freedom that makes all other freedoms possible.

Keep voting for people who support your positions and you will get all of your rights back.

I live in New York. I expect "getting your rights back" will lose 60% to 35...

How come it is always the "left hook" that is the knock out punch?

I always think that the straight right is far more useful.

Only when you are the strongest opponent.

I will be voting tomorrow...along with many illegal aliens in CA. So my vote will carry little weight....they will vote for whomever will give them the most handouts. My brother-in-law, a few elections ago, stood in line and the polling site he was at was asking for no picture identification. He was openly upset about it and made them look at his id (they scoffed at him). He reported the incident and at the next election nothing had been changed. He said two guys in front of him could not speak English and they still managed to vote (maybe they were legal...who knows...but likely not). That's CA for you. My wife and I are hoping to be back in Arkansas by this next summer....ready to be out of CA. Nice place to visit but not the best to live (well the weather is nice....that's about it).

Don't they have to be registered to vote? And don't they have to be citizens to be registered? Where I vote, they do ask for ID. You have to state your name, they look it up in the book of registered voters. You sign the book next to your name and they check it against your license. Then you get your ballot card and go to the booth and vote.

Let me just say that I "heard" from a person (with many others) who used to be a Democrat. That they would go down through the hood and "see" if people "might" happen to back the Democratic "agenda", and "might" happen to "be in need of" $10, a ride down to get registered (for those who were weren't) and they would take "these democrats" to go vote and by the liquor store, and back home again! Ah, public service!

I'm not big on that either, but those kinds of tactics. To be fair, though, they are old as the hills and practiced by both parties. I do wish that voter fraud carried a much tougher penalty and was strickly inforced. It won't happen because the people who make the laws are the ones breaking this one.

Yep, the pitfalls of democratic elections. Everybody wants to use your money to pay for what they want
The rich/businesses pay off politicians to enact barriers to entry and the poor want welfare handouts. And people wonder why the middle class can't expand or even maintain itself.

The middle class spends too much time worrying about the very rich and the very poor to realize the power they hold. They just need to start really caring and the extremists on both sides would be thrown to the sidelines.
