Fair Voter Representation
By Larry Killion
Somebody needs to do an op-ed in response to some propaganda
sent out to voters in Washington State
by the leftist progressives in power.
Apparently, they are concerned about loosing some of their power. Mine came in the form of an e-mail from Karen
Deal of the Washington Democrats. She
suggested that all the readers of The Seattle
Times, The Olympian
and The Spokesman
newspapers feel that our election system is broken and needs to be “fixed”. (I
do not like that word in the context of elections.) It began with the statement
that history teaches us that our government is stronger if every voice is
heard. Caution: A patriot loves his
country but is leery of a government that becomes too powerful.
Now, we live in a Republic where we the people send elected
representatives to legislate laws that will protect us from invasion by foreign
enemies and against usurpation of our liberty from within or without. Therefore, it is important indeed for our
representatives to be in office according to the vote of legitimate
citizens. The key word there is
“legitimate”. This might be a point
Karen and the progressives are missing all together. They suggest that our system is unjust
because certain ethnic groups in our communities are not fairly represented and
their solution to this is a so-called Voting Rights Act. Many common sense patriots in our State
believe a good way to insure a fair election process is to first True the Vote. That means purging the dirty voter
registration rolls of non-legitimate voters like non-citizens, felons, duplicates,
dead people, and so on, rather than opening the door to put more bogus names on
the rolls and thereby continue to empower the wickedness of election
fraud.
The common ground that I have with Karen is this: I think we
both want fair elections where voters get a government that fairly represents
them. Therefore, I went to the WA. State
Legislature website and found the latest copy of HB 1745-2015-16 and read
it. http://apps.leg.wa.gov/billinfo/summary.aspx?bill=1745&year=2015
It appeared to be another convoluted and complicated scheme
to redistrict voting districts in order to manipulate the election process in
favor of socialism and redistribution of wealth. I live in a Legislative District that has
been under the thumb of the leftist progressives for well over a half a century. I know what it is like to feel
unrepresented. The left is doing
everything they can to maintain their power but there is a grassroots movement of
patriots growing in number who are starting to speak up and say. “We are not
going to take it anymore.” If you truly
want fair treatment of the voters in our State, start by insuring a fair and
honest election process where legitimate voters cast honestly tabulated
ballots. Do this, and see if things do not change for the better for all honest
citizens in your community.
