AN OPEN LETTER TO JOE MANCHIN AND KYRSTEN SINEMA

Joe and Kyrsten, I see you both, while you are Democrats, as the sane versions of Democrats. You both have remained firm in your conviction that the Senate must not become a cheap version of the House of Representatives. You have stood firm in your support of the filibuster, as a tool to ensure that legislation must be approved by a supermajority of your peers. This limitation prevents bad legislation from becoming law.

Your Democrat colleagues have tried every parliamentary trick to pass the 'voting rights' legislation. Both of you are intelligent enough to know that this legislation is not about 'voting rights'. This is clearly an unconstitutional and extremely dangerous power-grab, meant to codify election cheating in all fifty states.

If this bill passes, by whatever trick is employed, it will effectively end opposition to the Democrat party at the state and national level. While this may initially sound good to you, since you are Democrats, it will spell the end of America as a viable country born in freedom, instilled in fairness, and honest representation of all her citizens.

In the long term, single-party rule is very unhealthy for a country. I'm a Republican. I would NOT be happy if we Republicans had single-party rule. You Democrats keep us honest with your opposition to our extremes. PLEASE do not vote in a manner that would allow single-party rule, with Democrats being that ruling party. The lack of ability to oppose extremes will destroy the economies and social orders of the states you represent.

You are all that stands between an America with political balance, and an America that goes to absurd extremes, becoming a mockery of a country. Political balance is vital to keep a country from careening out of control. Please keep this in mind as you vote the next few days.

I spoke of the problems in the bill that would ensure single-party rule by the Democrats. I will list the most egregious elements of the bill:

1. The codification of mandatory acceptance of Mail-In Ballots will allow ballots into the electoral stream that no longer have the forensic protection that we presently have. Mail-in Ballots leave the stream of protection, which should be from the voter to the vote counter, directly. Once you allow ballots to leave that stream, all sorts of mischief can occur. Ballots from non-existent people can then enter that stream, for example.
2. Additionally, if Ballot-Harvesting is codified into law, this gives another horrific chance to introduce ballots from non-existent people. It also allows the discarding of legitimate ballots from people the Harvester thinks might vote 'incorrectly'.
3. This bill also codifies the forbidding of identification to vote. How hard is it to get an ID these days? How many services and benefits require IDs to prevent fraud? Almost all of them. The only purpose of this element of the bill is to enable fraudulent voting.

A quick review of the election laws of other countries shows that none of these laws are in place. They are aware that voting fraud is encouraged by Mail-In Ballots, Ballot Harvesting, and the lack of Identification. Not even Russia or China permits these laws! Are we to be less honest than those countries?

We can all point at points that are ‘the end of the republic,’ but this would be one of the most damaging events in American legislative history. This is akin to the German 'Enabling Act' that allowed the rise of the Nazis.

I implore you to think of the damage this bill would cause. I implore you to think of the horrid outcomes America would face, if either party can rule with little or no opposition.

Sincerely,

Laz A. Mataz.

I don't know how, but I would love to see this letter get into the hands of Joe Manchin and/or Kyrsten Sinema.

[Lazamataz]

I believe I captured, pretty succintly, the problems with the bill Schumer is trying to force through the Senate. If anyone has ANY way to get this letter to Manchin or Sinema, this letter may end up confirming to them why they are feeling unease at enabling the bill to become law. It may assist them in making the decisions that would keep America alive as a viable country.

[HighSierra5]

Yeah. As much as I’d like the filibuster eliminated when “conservatives “ are in power the pendulum swings both ways.

[Lazamataz]

PLEASE SHARE THIS LETTER ON EVERY OUTLET YOU HAVE! Facebook, Twitter, emails to friends, whatever outlet you have. I believe I captured, pretty succintly, the problems with the bill Schumer is trying to force through the Senate. If anyone has ANY way to get this letter to Manchin or Sinema, this letter may end up confirming to them why they are feeling unease at enabling the bill to become law. It may assist them in making the decisions that would keep America alive as a viable country.

Note: Some of you are not on my main ping list, I collected your handles from other ping lists I have. I feel this letter is important enough to share everywhere. I hope you are not offended, and in fact, I hope you ask to join my main ping list.

You’re giving them way too much credit. They still support the “voting rights” bill.

The political pendulum always swings. You make a change that gives you more power while you’re in power, you will rue the day when you are out of power and that change is now used against you.

Play the long game, or you will not be playing.

[Chickensoup]

Can you discuss the difference between mail in ballots and absentee ballots? I think people do not understand the differences

[milagro]

EXCELLENT!
Your piece is a a well-honed dagger that cuts to the heart of a matter that truly DOES matter to everyone who understands the danger that the machinations of the current DemonRAT party pose to the survival of our FREE REPUBLIC!.
Thank you for posting it, Laz, and God bless!!

Send Kennedy delivered one of his famous one-liners on this issue:
“Dropping the filibuster to get this passed is like giving a teenager the keys to the family car.”

[saturn]

The writer mentions Rebuplican “ extremes “ what extremes ? Voter idea, secure borders? Just wondering,

[Lazamataz]

The writer is me.

I wrote about Republican ‘extremes’ in order to speak in a language they are more likely to understand.

I might not view certain things as extreme, but they might.

[Liz]

Why do Dems need “new and improved” voting?

Joe Biden won w/ 81 million votes.

Didn’t he?

[Lazamataz]

I appreciate your kind words.

[Lazamataz]

You will recognize certain phrases I borrowed from your post.

[Lazamataz]

Can you discuss the difference between mail in ballots and absentee ballots? I think people do not understand the differences

I could, but I believe they already understand that difference. This letter is aimed at them.

[Dad was my hero]

You’d think they might have learned from when Harry Reid changed the number needed to approve judges, then along came Trump. Aholes, if they do it, it could bite them in their asses.

[saturn]

10-4, makes sense when you put it that way.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

Single party rule is what gave us "modern" Mexico in all it's splendor squalor.

[Lazamataz]

I think the Schumer/Pelosi cabal believe that if voter fraud can be institutionalized, that they need not worry about any pendulum swings or backlash. They’d have command of all election outcomes going forward.
