The Recall Elections?
In a few
days, we will learn the immediate outcome of the recall elections of State
Senators Morse and Giron. We may not know the final outcome, as there will
undoubtedly be lawsuits, accusations of fraud, and political maneuvers that are
yet unimagined by most of us. But rest assured, there are political innovators
champing at the bit.
Although
there will be many volunteer hours spent, hundreds of thousands of campaign
dollars and taxpayer money, who wins and who loses won't really matter. If the recall is defeated, the statists will
continue on their current path to rapidly expand government. Some say that they
will accelerate their efforts to tax and control the citizens of Colorado, but
after the last legislative session, I can't imagine how any acceleration would
be meaningful - the pedal is already to the metal.
If the
recalls are successful, Republicans will still have a minority in the senate,
and both new senators will have to defend their seats in 2014. Most importantly, those elections will be
held under the new election law passed by the Democrats, HB1303, which I've
dubbed the "Voter Fraud Encouragement Act."
The Voter Fraud Encouragement Act
This new
law governs the recall election, and will undoubtedly lead to massive voter
fraud, at least in terms of what you and I call fraud. The law weakens any
legal definition of fraud to the point that no meaningful prosecution of
perpetrators will be possible. Thanks to the Democrats, elections will be won
by whichever party has the most buses, according to Jon Caldara. The
Independence Institute has a website to help people understand the
vagaries of the new law. I would add that it will also be won by the party most
willing to commit fraud.
There is
still a difference between the two parties. One party believes that our
citizens can not create, innovate, prosper, or succeed without the intervention
and assistance of government. That party believes that without government
elitists to determine what is best, our society will fail. The other party
believes that the independent actions of millions of people pursuing their own
interests, while respecting that pursuit by others, will always result in a
better outcome than elitist control.
Given the
Democrat's lack of respect for us, the feeble-minded citizens, which party is
more likely to do whatever is necessary to put the power in the hands of their
party elites? The democratic process
necessary for a representative republic has been forever undermined by the new
law. Any future election will be governed by the Voter Fraud Encouragement
Act.
Restoring the Democratic Process and Protecting Our Votes
This law
can be repealed, and there are three ways to repeal it. First, the legislature
can repeal it. Fat chance - the Democrat majority passed the law to ensure
their continued power. They won't give up that power.
Second, a
citizen initiative could repeal it. There is a new organization called Improve
Colorado that seems capable of taking that on.
However, to be successful, a citizen initiative must win an election governed
by the Voter Fraud Encouragement Act. Meanwhile, Democrats will have another
legislative session to make citizen initiatives even more difficult to pass.
Another session of Democrat majority in the legislature, a spineless, leftist
governor, and rampant voter fraud will end our ability to stop government's
onslaught on liberty.
Third,
the Governor can threaten the legislature. Repealing this law is so critical to
the restoration of our rights to participate in our Government that the
governor should tell the legislature that he or she will veto every one of the
500+ bills the legislature passes every year, until they repeal the law.
And while
the Governor is at it, he or she should also insist on the repeal of the new
citizen control laws passed by the Democrats under the guise of "gun
control."
Obviously,
I'm not suggesting that Hickenlooper is the right man for this job. He has
bowed to the most vile interests of his party, billionaire Bloomberg, gun
wielding criminals who prefer an unarmed citizenry, and scum like Nathan
Dunlap.
The Last Restraint on the Legislature - The Election That Matters
We need a
candidate for Governor in 2014 who can explain to the voters that there is one
last opportunity to restore the checks and balances on government envisioned by
the Founding Fathers - the Governor.
It's time
for those who love liberty to understand that this is our last chance. We can
win one more election if we put every resource of Republicans, Libertarians,
constitutionalists, conservatives, and independents into one important race,
the right candidate who will hold the legislature responsible for its
irresponsible governance and repeal the Voter Fraud Encouragement Act. No
senate or house race matters.
Many
Democrats also value the democratic process, and will vote for the candidate
that vows to restore their rights in participatory government, especially after
the fiasco we are about to witness in the recall elections.
As long
as the Voter Fraud Encouragement Act stands, we have nothing to lose. Repealing
the law is paramount. The Governor's race is the one that matters. We just need
the commitment of Republicans to lead the way...And the right candidate.
