The Democratic
Party’s instituted
policies and
pandering to the
radical woman’s
movement are
responsible for at
least 1 million
non-felons—divorced
American men
commonly known as
fathers—who are
today being denied
the right to vote.
How is that
possible? It is done
by the imposition of
a new-fangled “poll
tax” by activist
judges.
Here is the short of
it. Right now, there
is estimated to be 1
million individuals
in county jails on
any given day.
Curiously, no
statistics regarding
non-felons in
prisons are kept by
the Justice
Department.
The issue is now
playing out all
across America’s
3,141 counties and
parishes. These
individuals who have
not committed any
crime are the target
of activist judicial
discrimination based
upon their sex. They
have not been
accused of a crime.
They have not had a
trial by jury of
their peers. In
fact, they have not
been convicted of
any crime. They are
in jail until
they—even if they
cannot comply—pay a
judge’s arbitrarily
established sum in
order to be released
from jail. This is a
clear violation of
the 13th Amendment
and federal statues
against peonage,
slavery as well as
involuntary and
indentured
servitude,
respectively. This
mirrors ransom as
well, as I see it.
This is not a joke!
Unless the money is
paid, the person
will remain in
prison for an
alleged debt,
unconstitutionally I
say, deprived of his
liberty. According
to press reports,
there is one
individual in a
Pennsylvania county
prison for more than
11 years. He has not
had a trial by jury
or been accused of a
crime; the judge
wants money he does
not have.
Now comes the
inconceivable part.
The incarcerated I
speak of are
innocent
individuals; about
95%, or more, are
males. They are
non-felons who are
being denied the
right to vote in
this current 2006
election because of
an alleged debt.
This is occurring in
both state and
federal elections
across the entire
country. They are,
in fact,
constitutionally
viable voters in the
upcoming federal
elections. It is for
them to late to vote
in the primaries,
which have come and
passed.
Of the states and
politicians that I
have so far tuned
into, here is the
current situation:
In Connecticut,
where the liberal
Democratic Sen.
Christopher Dodd
rules, no individual
in jail is allowed
to vote—felon or
not.
In Tennessee
ex-felons who pay
off the court costs
are allowed to
vote—unless they owe
child support.
In the state of
Washington, a recent
Supreme Court
decision stated that
it is
unconstitutional to
prevent recent
former felons from
voting if they owed
court costs. Yet,
nothing is said
about men who are
alleged to owe child
support, as they are
non-felons in jail,
though they never
had a trial by jury
of their peers.
Sen. Hillary Clinton
(D.-N.Y.) says
nothing about the
longstanding denial
of the right to vote
by way of a “poll
tax” for these
American men.
In New Jersey, a
Democratic-leaning
state, the fathers
in jail for child
support are not
allowed to vote,
although if one is a
pretrial detainee—to
clarify, let’s say
being held for
murder—that person
is allowed to vote.
At the same time,
the Democrats also
demand that
terrorists—at Gitmo
and everywhere
else—get
constitutional
protections, which
divorced American
men do not get and
the pro-terrorists
left is deathly
silent about it.
Unlike Republicans,
Democrats are
focused on the issue
of enlisting new
voters who are not
constitutionally
approved voters. It
is no secret
Democrats would be
thrilled to welcome
illegal foreigners
to vote in federal
elections. This is
now taking place in
California and
probably other
states as well.
Democrats actually
oppose any photo
I.D. being presented
as proof of U.S.
citizenship prior to
anyone exercising
the right to vote.
Republicans should
stop sitting on the
fence looking and
waiting to see which
way the cows went so
that they may be
corralled in their
barn. Radical
feminists do not
vote for
Republicans. Get
used to it!
Republicans can take
full advantage of
this situation and
the concomitant
votes by merely
standing out front
and publicly
directing all jails
across the nation to
provide all
necessary
information as if
these innocent
voters were at home
and at liberty. Add
to this recipe
absentee ballots,
which clearly must
be provided to
non-felons.
This can be done by
way of their
campaign
organizations, which
can also provide
Republicans factual
information directly
to those affected,
as opposed to the
“lemming” left-wing
newspapers and
media. This would
compensate the
Republicans for the
unattainable votes
from the radical
feminists who vote
exclusively for
Democrats.
