I want the laws to have real penalties for those who violate election laws. Serious financial penalties, and for more egregious cases, state penitentiary time. Our elections are what our republic is based on. Those who would knowingly violate election laws or suppress voters need to suffer real consequences both as punishment and as a deterrent to other potential election criminals.
Again, we own our elections, and we own our ballots. We have a right to watch our property - our elections and our ballots - being counted.
If we encode these things into federal law, we'll have a good chance to returning accuracy and security to OUR elections. Democracy will be the stronger for it, and we'll all benefit.
Q. Any last words to our readers?
A. Keep fighting "The Man." Bite 'em right on the ass! The constitution can't defend itself. It needs citizens to actively protect it. Whether or not that will happen... I guess time will tell. I'll try to do my best to do my part to defend our democratic republic, along with millions of other Americans from all over the political spectrum. And I hope millions more will join us. Our liberty and our freedom depend on it.
