The “stimilus” package approved by the Bush Administration in 2008 is pitched to stimulate the US economy. The fact is in late December 2008, the Fed altered the “required” Reserve Balance from around 8 billion dollars to some 848 billion dollars. So, who was stimulated exactly?

The ID law imposes the will of the few upon the rights of the many. So, are you represented by this law?

Perhaps it would be better to vote the Libertarian party candidate into office an not waste your vote. Let’s Super size congress to get representation or cut funding.

The Georgia Constitution says:

Paragraph I. Method of voting. Elections by the people shall be by secret ballot and
shall be conducted in accordance with procedures provided by law.

Paragraph II. Right to register and vote. Every person who is a citizen of the United
States and a resident of Georgia as defined by law, who is at least 18 years of age and not
disenfranchised by this article, and who meets minimum residency requirements as provided
by law shall be entitled to vote at any election by the people. The General Assembly
shall provide by law for the registration of electors.

The Photo ID is part of the provision for registration. Registration is meaningless without a means of verification.

However, it would appear that State-mandated partisan primaries violate the right of the people to vote at any election, and the requirement that a voter indicate a party violates the right to a secret ballot.

Maybe smaller parties should work together to target these (often elected) officials in charge of running (ruining) our democracy for defeat or removal if possible. Officials who see repression of minor parties as a part of their job need to get new work…preferably not as a judge!
