Collins Report

By Kevin “Coach” Collins

Democrats are scheming to give themselves new voters through legislation to violate the 10th Amendment by forcing states to allow felons to vote. The law called The Democracy Restoration Act (DRA) would give the worst of the worst living in our communities (nearly 4 million released felons) the right to vote in federal elections.

Democrats know a University of Minnesota study found that felons vote 87% Democrat. This is obviously why they want it.

Ten states totally bar felon voters and another 18 states require released felons to finish their parole/ probation time first. Maine and Vermont actually allow voting from prison!

Felons are felons for a reason: they committed crimes. Letting these people anywhere near the voting process is inviting fraud.

The Democrats are SAYING DRA would only mandate released felon voting in federal elections but how could that possibly workout? Election officers can’t ask anyone attempting to vote if he/she is a released felon. How then could any released felon be kept from voting on down ballot lines? We know that won’t happen.

In the wake of the 2000 Election Florida, a state that allows NO felon voting was shown to be carrying 30,000 felons on its voting rolls.

Invitation to voter fraud

Alabama’s Attorney General recently discovered Democrat primary voters sold their absentee ballots for $40.00. Would felons do this? You bet!

ACORN uses the same names over and over, registering the same people sometimes 10 times. Criminals newly granted the vote would be happy to do this “civic duty.”

Indianapolis already has a 105% voter registration.

Jury duty pools draw from voter rolls. Is it hard to envision released child rapists on juries?

This mess has to be stopped by states like Alabama using the 10th Amendment to tell the federal government to go pound sand.

These states would be affected

Alabama Arizona Delaware Florida Iowa Kentucky Maryland Mississippi Nebraska Nevada Tennessee Virginia Washington and Wyoming permanently bar felons from voting.

What Constitutional “Scholars” have to say

Whenever this topic is visited “scholars” grudgingly cite the Fourteenth Amendment as justification for the disenfranchisement of felons by states.

Very rarely is the power of the 10th Amendment ever even casually touched upon in these discussions. These “experts” don’t believe states have any power to do anything unless it has been preapproved by the Federal Government. They would dearly love to kill the 2nd Amendment (Right to bear arms) and the 10th Amendment which essentially give the states any powers not specifically assigned to the Federal Government.

Any reading of the 10 th Amendment says states have the right to run elections any way they want to. It’s time we demanded common sense from our federal government and allow states to run their own affairs.

This day in history November 18

1978: In Guyana Jim Jones leads his “People’s Temple” cult in a mass murder suicide that kills 918 people including over 270 children. Just before the mass murder Democrat Congressman Leo J. Ryan was assassinated by members of Peoples Temple.

What have YOU done to defend American freedoms today?
