“If we could have our way then, we could use a property qualification for voting. Like you must own at least an acre or two of land to vote. Not easy to get that reform passed, though. But keep it in mind.”
It should be enough that you verify that you paid in your lifetime at least $2,000 in income taxes (students dont get to vote until they get a job, welfare cases dont get to vote for freebees).
These ideas are alas a pipedream, so the best we can do is fight to educate people to vote patriotically and for a good economy and not plundering of the rich to gain freebies.
We have our share of liberal voters (commies)in Oregon, including my wonderful Congressman Peter (Democratic Socialist) DeFazio. I am so ashamed when people asked me who my congressman is. But, our teeny, tiny little conservative enclave is totally dominated by the liberals in Eugene and at the University of Oregon. Yes, through gerrymandering (thank you Bill Bradbury) we minority conversative districts are all lumped in with heavily democrat large populations hundreds of miles from us.
But, I see hope on the horizon. Our wonderful congressman lost in our precincts last election and each election has been getting closer and closer. Probably out of the question he will lose (hang in their Art Robinson), but when he is gone -- of course not death just retirement -- maybe we have a chance.
No way. The constitution says right to vote. Everyone should vote who are here legally. You sound like those wacky anti 2nd amendment folks who want to put on restrictions that shouldn’t be there. No restriction on voting or guns. With voting, you should verify your an American and that is it. Let’s not become liberals on this site PLEASE!!!!
