There is no greater foundation for democratic republic than the right of all members of that republic to participate in choosing their representatives at the polls, that is, to exercise their right to vote.  That foundation remains under attack by the Republican Party, who are trying to establish fascist one-party rule, a Republican totalitarian plutocracy in which elections exist only for show.  They would prevent all who might vote against them from voting.  It has become quite widespread.<\/font><\/p>\n

\"0626Voting\"<\/p>\n

According to a new report<\/a> by the Brennan Center for Justice at NYU School of Law, \u201c[n]ew voting restrictions developed since 2010 are slated to be in place in 22 states this November.\u201d <\/p>\n

The Republican Party have rolled back voting with a whole range of tactics from requiring identification to shortening the time to vote. Many of these states were long covered by the Voting Rights Act passed in 1965 to remedy 100 years of states denying the right to vote to people of color.<\/p>\n

Limiting the franchise, limiting the right to vote is the most fundamental obstruction of democracy and certainly one of the most un-American things imaginable<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

But not the only. This Supreme Court has allowed states to disenfranchise their own people, has equated money to free speech and corporations to people, and opened up the floodgates to unmitigated big money<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

All three of these democratic assaults were committed by this John Roberts Supreme Court\u2026 [emphasis added<\/em>]<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Unless you want to live in the functional equivalent of the Fifth Reich, we must everything we can to vote and to help those, who Republicans are trying to disenfranchise, vote.  Then we must keep it up until the Fascist Five Injustices of SCROTUS (Republican Constitutional VD) have been replaced through retirement or impeachment.<\/font><\/p>\n

Corporations are NOT people!<\/font><\/h1>\n

Money is NOT speech!<\/font><\/h1>\n

VOTE!!!<\/font><\/h1>\n
