The Democrats' pending voting overhaul legislation would authorize a federal commission to oversee the distribution of $25 credits to qualified voters, who would be able to donate the funds to candidates for public office.

The bill, titled the "Freedom to Vote Act," also includes a 6-1 matching program for candidates meeting specified fundraising criteria.

These programs are part of the Democrats' effort to require public financing of campaigns. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and other Democratic leaders argue that public financing of campaigns would eliminate "dark money" from the political process. ..."

The goals of the alt-far-left is always to separate you from your money, and also your freedom.

“Qualified voter” = anyone who votes reliably for democrats. I can already hear them saying, “No one who has supported Trump, the ‘insurrection’, or who is a ‘white supremacist’ should receive these funds. We can’t allow the funding of ‘domestic terrorists’.”

The opportunity for fraud with that type of system is unlimited.

That is the LEAST of the problems with the bill. “The intruder killed the dog, raped the grandmother, burned the house to the ground... and stole $25!!!!”

Piglosi’s desperation is showing..... this bill treats voters
of all persuasions as if they just fell off a turnip truck.

I guarantee you that somewhere in that bill is an intermediary bundler whose job it will be to gather the information, take the money and disburse it - all for an undisclosed ‘fee.’

Piglosi’s misnomered “Freedom to Vote Act,” includes tax dollars to finance a permanent Dem majority, and a 6-1 matching program “ ONLY FOR candidates meeting specified fundraising criteria.”

AND WE ALL KNOW ONLY PURE-HEARTED DEMOCRATS QUALIFY.....SNX

Biden’s Georgia speech on voting laws that legalize fraud
to elect Democrats made it clear...he must be obeyed......or else.

Fox News.com

Tucker Carlson exposes Biden’s condescending treatment of Americans.
Biden’s speeches reveal what he thinks of Americans
He is deeply disappointed in the country and annoyed with those who live here

During his entire first year in office, Joe Biden did virtually nothing to improve the actual lives of actual American citizens. And he didn’t because he didn’t even really try.

Making voters happy is not a feature of the Biden equity agenda. Punishment is the point of the equity agenda, inflicting pain on the right people, dispensing rough justice, meting out reparations by other names.

In his speeches, you can see clearly how Joe Biden feels about America. He’s deeply disappointed in the country, and he’s annoyed with the people who live here. Biden doesn’t cajole voters. He harangues and berates them. He patronizes them and issues threats. You cause the corona pandemic. You’re stupid and selfish.

Snip

Well he did try to, and succeeded in, making life worse. It isn’t like Dems aren’t industrious in this area.

Mitch McConnell actually gave excellent answer to the speech.
Some people here do not like him, but he can be brilliant!
