With its underlying assumption that all white people are racists, Critical Race Theory is itself racist and ignores the real problems in African American communities that threaten the safety and prosperity of their residents.
With bipartisan support, two vote security measures recently passed the Michigan House and landed on Democrat Governor Whitmer’s desk. She then vetoed these bills - they would make it illegal to request more than one ballot, or to fill out someone else’s ballot without their knowledge. In addition to being a COVID crisis tyrant, she’s a vote fraud enabler. It’s just that simple; and disgraceful.
It’s all we can do to keep up with all the stories of eagle-eyed citizens finding discarded absentee ballots in trash cans, ditches, and postal worker garages. The latest, from Kentucky, documents over 100 ballots in a dumpster. These are the ballots that were found—what about the ones that are now in a landfill? Not only can your vote be stolen; it can be discarded. Vote in Person!
Since liberal Democrat California Governor Gavin Newsom unilaterally decreed that California would be an unsolicited mail ballot state, the state’s non-partisan watchdog, Election Integrity Project, has sent every notice possible short of carrier pigeon to the Governor and his Secretary of State sharing research that shows mail ballots will go to the moved, the deceased, those over 105 years old, with multiple ballots going to thousands of individuals. They tried again this week, and their findings are disturbing.
Section 230 of the Communications Act is being abused by Twitter and Facebook as a shield for censorship as they block conservative content and negative news stories about liberal politicians. The American people can make up their own minds and don’t need censors. The social media blockade of Hunter Biden stories resulted in Congress and the FCC taking a hard look at 230, and its anti-First Amendment unintended consequences. The Senate Judiciary is also issuing subpoenas to social media execs.
“Our desperate lack of civic literacy and understanding of the principles of our U.S. Constitution is never greater than when the Second Amendment is involved,” notes Derek Cohen, our colleague at the Texas Public Policy Foundation. In explaining the court’s role in a three-branch system of government, he affirms our right to bear arms as well. We couldn’t have put it any better.
The Ohio State University has a “Major Pending Election Cases” tracker that is easy to use with cases posted and explained daily as they are filed and decided. We hear of these cases piecemeal in our own states, but it is only by viewing an on-going database that we can see that these cases are not random, but part of a coordinated effort by the left to attack the fundamentals of our voting safeguards. This is why we encourage all constitutional conservatives to Vote In Person!
If you can’t win an election with votes, you use COVID to pretend people can’t vote in person and try to change rules that make it easier to cheat or mishandle ballots. That is exactly what the American left is doing. As of today, there are 300 court cases in 44 states of liberal groups trying to loosen ID requirements, extend voting, create mail-only schemes. You can use this super simple Stanford-MIT case tracker to find out exactly what you need to be against in your state.
Alabama seniors have voted for decades with rules in place for voter ID and absentee ballots witness signatures. As part of a national scheme by the left to dilute vote security, an Obama appointed judge recently overturned these rules even though he was in the wrong branch of government to do so. Fortunately for the people of Alabama, the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals correctly dissolved his ruling. Vote security, at least for now, remains intact in Alabama.
The SCOTUS nomination of Judge Amy Coney Barrett brought up an inside baseball term that needs defining. “Court-packing” is NOT a duly elected president filling a vacant seat as duty demands. Court-packing is adding judicial seats — by one political party — where justices serve in perpetuity. It ensures the packing party has decades of unilateral ideological control. Every candidate for president has a moral obligation to explain it truthfully to the American people while stating personal intent.
