Obama Urges Soviet-Style Voting Laws
Canada Free Press ^ | 03/19/15 | Matthew Vadum

Forcing Americans to vote under threat of legal penalty would help to fundamentally transform America

Forcing Americans to vote under threat of legal penalty would help to fundamentally transform America, President Obama told a town hall-style meeting in Cleveland yesterday.

It is the latest radical leveling scheme that flows from the president’s totalitarian impulses. It is also consistent with his support for “Net Neutrality,” which is a form of censorship and his opposition to the landmark Citizens United decision that affirmed a conservative activist group’s constitutionally guaranteed right to make a movie critical of Hillary Clinton. It is an assault on American democracy itself because one of the ways that people express themselves politically is to stay home on Election Day. Compelled speech is not free speech.

“It would be transformative if everybody voted,” Obama said just months after his party was crushed in off-year congressional elections that gave Republicans control of both houses of Congress.

Obama won’t have to tell people who to vote for, the ballots will be pre-punched and if you ask for a new ballot, your name will be noted.

This is what happens when a moronic American populace elects a communist ideologue. Twice.

Great idea! And let’s have a single candidate on the ballot as well.

Forcing Americans to vote purchase health insurance under threat of legal penalty would help to fundamentally transform America.

What difference, at this point, does it make?!

Why bother? There will be only one person and party for each office on the ballot!

Here comes another Executive Action. Congress and the people be damned.

I’d suggest that when he pulls this stunt, everyone show up to vote and practice this 8 point plan in How to Do Exactly What the Regime Says.

1. Take about an hour in the voting booth to mark your ballot. Bring lunch (see point 6)
2. Maybe two hours.
3. Ask for help... repeatedly.
4. Ask for a new pencil.
5. Ask if a ballot is available printed in Polish, Hungarian, Russian, or Spanish. They’ll certainly have one of those. When they hand it to you say you were just curious if it was available.
6. Drop your tuna sandwich on the ballot.
7. Drop your ballot on the floor and then make a big production of attempting to pick it up. Keep accidentally kicking it with your feet.
8. When you get to the ballot machine, try and insert your ATM card, lunch receipt, or anything flat-ish (like the tuna sandwich).

many of us said it when he was elected for a second term that he was going to unleash unholy hell against this country- and he IS

We know what he means by “fundamentally transforming America”, and we want none of it.

the problem with mass protest by abstaining from voting htough is that only republicans and libertarians will not vote meaning only democrats (who love the idea of mandatory voting laws) will vote-

"And fining people for not ‘voting correctly’" It's not a fine, it's a tax. Wait, no it's not a tax, it's a penalty. No it's a fine, it's a tax. It's whatever SCOTUS wants it to be. Whatever it is, the IRS will collect it.

exactly, the blatant arrogant hubris with which these ‘laws’ are being passed unconstitutionally is simply mind blowing- and the sad part is that WE the people don’t have any representatives anymore to protect us against such tyranny

Classic sabotage techniques - if you don’t individually have the power to confront, make life as hard and frustrating as possible for the enemy. I love it.
