What Hypocrisy?

Posted on by

On Sunday, Legal Insurrection posted an article about the grand opening of the President Obama Presidential Center.

The article reports:

Former President Barack Obama is warning that requiring proof of citizenship to vote would “disenfranchise millions,” but eligibility for tickets to his presidential center’s grand opening is limited to U.S. citizens and lawful residents and requires identity verification to claim the prize.

Obama weighed in this week against the Republican-backed SAVE Act, which would require documented proof of U.S. citizenship to register to vote in federal elections. He framed the proposal as a direct threat to voter access and urged Americans to oppose it, calling it unnecessary and harmful to participation.

“Republicans are still trying to pass the SAVE Act—a bill that would make it harder to vote and disenfranchise millions of Americans.” 

Other Democrats echoed that argument, saying the measure would impose documentation burdens that many Americans do not readily have access to, including passports, birth certificates, or other records used to verify citizenship, particularly among lower-income and older populations. 

At the same time, the sweepstakes tied to the opening of the Obama Presidential Center lays out firm eligibility requirements. The official terms limit entry to “United States citizens and lawful permanent U.S. residents,” excluding anyone who does not meet those criteria.

Winners are also required to provide identifying documentation, including taxpayer identification information, and must clear security screenings and verification protocols before attending the event, consistent with standard procedures for high-profile public gatherings.

Those conditions are not incidental. Access depends on legal status and the ability to confirm identity through official records, with eligibility rules clearly defined in advance of the event.

Unfortunately, this is typical of some of our Democrat party members. Photo id is generally needed to get into some of their events, yet they don’t see the necessity of having photo id to exercise your right to vote.

Why?

Posted on by

Only American citizens are supposed to vote in federal elections. Why are the Democrats so reluctant to see this law enforced? Could it have something to do with the tens of thousands of illegal immigrants they let into the country during the Biden administration?

On Thursday, Legal Insurrection posted an article the Senate Democrats’ demands to pass a funding bill for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

The article reports:

Democrats are always telling on themselves, no matter what the issue is, and that’s certainly been the case with their militant opposition to the Trump administration’s immigration enforcement operations, which have taken place in problem blue cities and states across the country over the past year.

One “tell” in particular that helps make the GOP’s points in favor of passing the SAVE Act has come from a number of Democrats in recent months. Among them was California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D), who in August said that the ICE agents who showed up outside of an event he held were a “preview” of what was to come at polling places and “in front of voting booths,” that ICE would be sent there by President Trump to “intimidate people.”

American citizens (the people who should be going to the polls) are not intimidated by ICE agents–the only people who would be intimidated by ICE agents are illegal aliens who have no business being near the polling places!

The article notes:

But in perhaps the most glaring example of saying the “quiet part out loud,” the list of demands for DHS reform released by Sen. Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY), which was sent to Republican House and Senate leadership Wednesday, includes a call for no funding to go towards immigration enforcement operations near polling places:

Democratic leaders laid out their demands for reform at the Department of Homeland Security in a letter to Republican leadership on Wednesday, as lawmakers race to reach a compromise before the agency’s funding runs out in less than 10 days.

…Democrats also want agents to identify themselves, use body-worn cameras, and stop wearing masks or face coverings while conducting enforcement operations, among other restrictions.

Democrats are also insisting that DHS funds not be used to conduct enforcement near “sensitive locations,” such as schools, medical facilities, places of worship, and polling places.

Are they admitting that they plan to cheat?

Americans Want Voter Identification

Posted on by

As I write this, the SAVE Act is stalled in a Senate committee–not making its way to the floor. According to what I read, there are 50 votes to pass the law. The law requires voter identification. It also requires proof of citizenship when registering to vote. I don’t think either of these requirements is unreasonable. (If the filibuster were not in place, 50 votes plus the Vice-President would pass the law). Most Americans want voter id (according to CNN–see below):

On Tuesday, Real Clear Politics reported:

So, the bottom line is this, voter I.D. is not controversial in this country. A photo I.D. to vote is not controversial in this country. It is not controversial by party, and it is not controversial by race. The vast majority of Americans agree with Nicki Minaj that, in fact, you should have a photo I.D. to be able to vote.

The real questions here is why anyone would oppose voter id. Anyone who has a bank account, travels by air, cashed a check, gets a library card, goes to the doctor, or enters a government building needs a photo id, so it’s not hard to get a photo id. Why would anyone oppose needing one to vote?

I firmly believe that if John Thune does not successfully pass the SAVE Act, the Republicans will lose Congress in the midterms. The American people elected Congress to represent them. If the Republicans in Congress do not represent the voters, they deserve to be sent packing!

Why Would A Political Party Fight Election Integrity?

Posted on by

The Democrats are getting ready to shut down the government again in about two weeks. At first it was because of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) funding, but now it is because of the SAVE Act. The SAVE Act enforces the law that limits voting in federal elections to citizens. That should be a no-brainer, but to the Democrats that eliminates a lot of their voting base. In case you haven’t noticed, because Americans are leaving the Democrat party because it has gone too far left, the Democrats need new voters. That is the reason they are fighting so hard to keep illegal aliens here. They need voter fraud and illegal aliens to keep winning. Keep an eye on Fulton County for more information on voter fraud. Also, if they can shut down the government, they may be able to slow down the positive momentum of the Trump administration.

On Tuesday, American Greatness posted an article about the coming government shutdown.

The article reports:

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) is warning that a bipartisan appropriations package will be “dead on arrival” in the Senate, if it contains the Safeguarding American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act.

Schumer announced yesterday that he’s willing to risk another government shutdown in order to block GOP attempts to add voter ID and citizenship eligibility requirements to the funding bill.

According to Schumer, “The SAVE Act would impose Jim Crow style restrictions on voting. It will be dead on arrival in the Senate.”

The reluctance of Democrats to limit voting in federal elections to U.S. citizens alone, raises deeper questions about why millions of illegal aliens were allowed to flood into the U.S. under the Biden administration.

The article concludes with a very interesting possible solution:

Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) explained to reporters yesterday that standing filibuster may be the best pathway forward to allow a way to break the stalemate and to maneuver around senators who are seeking to block voter ID and citizenship requirements.

Some of our Senators are so old they probably couldn’t stand up long enough to filibuster! Stay tuned.

Pay Attention, Republicans

On Saturday, The Gateway Pundit posted an article about some recent comments by Republican activist Scott Presler. You may remember that Scott Presler was a major factor in President Trump’s 2024 election victory. He has become a seasoned political worker and observer.

The article reports:

Republican activist Scott Presler joined Kayleigh McEnany on FOX News to push the Save Act. Presler told FOX News that there are already 48 co-sponsors with Mike Lee sponsoring the bill. But Senate Majority Leader John Thune needs to bring it up for a vote.

The Save act requires:
** Proof of US citizenship to vote,
** Mandates states to verify the citizenship of voters
** Requires states to remove non-citizens from the voter rolls

These are basic rules to help secure our elections. Democrats are against them, of course.

Scott is urging everyone to continue to call their senators and ask them to make a public statement about moving the Save Act to the Senate floor.

The article includes the following statement from Scott:

So my warning to members of Congress that are not willing to pass election reform at the federal level, which is constitutional, is either Republicans allow for proof of citizenship and photo voter ID, or it’s very likely that Republican voters will not come out on Tuesday, November third, and we very likely could lose the House of Representatives, and you could even lose Senate. The senatorships in Alaska, Maine, North Carolina. And if we lose three seats, Kaylee, it’s 50-50, and we lose the majority. So to our beautiful Senate Republican colleagues that are in the majority right now, I ask you, bring the Save Act to the floor, and any senator against proof of citizenship must tell the American people publicly on the floor why they are against it.

The Save Act will help deal with the problem of election integrity. Right now we have tens of thousands of people in America who are not citizens and may not have a problem illegally voting. The Save Act would help deal with that problem. If the Republicans can not get it passed, what is the point of electing them?

Does Anyone Believe Her?

On Friday, The Daily Wire posted an article about the  Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act, which passed the House of Representatives on Friday. The SAVE Act requires proof of American citizenship to vote and that all non-citizens be removed from the voting roles. The documents required to prove citizenship are listed in the bill.

Some of the documents listed include:

A form of identification issued consistent with the requirements of the REAL ID Act of 2005 that indicates the applicant is a citizen of the United States.

A valid United States passport.

The applicant’s official United States military identification card, together with a United States military record of service showing that the applicant’s place of birth was in the United States.

A valid government-issued photo identification card issued by a Federal, State or Tribal government showing that the applicant’s place of birth was in the United States.

Most people have at least one of these things. However, Hillary Clinton has declared that the bill will make it hard for married women to vote.

The article reports:

On Thursday, failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton faced blowback for claiming a GOP bill “threatens” voting access for millions of married women.

Clinton, who is also a former United States senator and first lady, reacted to the House passing the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act, which aims to require individuals to show proof of U.S. citizenship to register to vote in elections for federal office.

“Update: The House just passed the Republican voter suppression measure that threatens voting access for millions of Americans, including 69 million women whose married names don’t match their birth certificates,” Clinton said. “Make sure your senators know you expect them to stand against it.”

The article notes:

“Hillary Clinton argues that the SAVE Act ‘threatens voting access’ for ’69 million women whose married names don’t match their birth certificates,’” said Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT), who introduced a companion version of the bill in the Senate.

“If that were true — and it’s definitely not — the same women would be unemployable as they’d be unable to complete an I-9, which requires proof of citizenship,” he added. “Her argument proves too much, is refuted by the plain text of the bill, and cannot withstand review.”

With a post of his own, Roy alluded to how four Democrats voted in support of the bill and said, “Just show an ID. Why would you not want to verify citizenship?”

The only reason to oppose this bill is that it might limit cheating. Most married women know how to change their name on the appropriate documents when they get married.
