More evidence the Obama Democrats are playing by Chicago rules, and rapidly altering the nature of our political regime. Nancy Pelosi's strong arm legislative tactics have metastasized to the state level in Wisconsin.
According to a Republican Wisconsin state senator, Democrats there plan to change the election rules in November with inadequate scrutiny. In other words, a stealth attack on the integrity of the electoral process. Like ObamaCare, this is a change-the-game legislative proposal that could not withstand scrutiny.
Wisconsin Senator Glenn Grothman alerts us that Democrats are trying to push a radical 72-page bill less than 16 hours after its hearing. He writes:
Senate Bill 640 [is] a bill which radically changes Wisconsin election law going into this year's election. The 72-page bill was not even introduced until March 23.
Senate Bill 640 makes many changes to Wisconsin election law including the following:
1) The bill allows municipalities to set up satellite absentee ballot stations for early voting. These stations apparently could be done in college dorms, outside of bars, or other inappropriate locals. 2) The current open government practice of allowing any citizen to challenge individual ballots would end as monitoring of elections of statewide or national significance would be restricted to people who live within that polling district. 3) Permanent absentee ballot status would be established in which ballots would be sent to people who historically do not vote in low-turnout elections. Currently, permanent absentee ballot status is restricted to people who are confined because of age, physical illness, infirmity, or disabled infinitely making them unable to get to the polls. 4) University IDs could be offered as proof of residence for registration and voting. 5) The increased cost of processing and mailing out the additional absentee ballots is an unfunded mandate that local municipalities will not be able to absorb. 6) Local municipalities will be forced to hire speakers of a foreign language if at least 5% of the adults in their district are not English proficient. 7) The bill proposes to set up a statewide database of voters that the authors said they would hope to link up to a national database.
"This is a shocking power grab some extremist Democrats are trying to change our laws so that more unqualified voters are able to vote and so that we are not able to determine whether or not voting fraud in fact took place," said Grothman. "That is clearly the motivation behind trying to have a much larger number of permanent absentee voters as well as preventing an individual outside a polling place to object to inappropriate voting."
"Ironically, the voting change that most Wisconsin citizens request, Voter ID, is about the only thing not included in this far-reaching bill that is being fast-tracked through the State Legislature."
The far left has taken over the Democratic Party, and is aggressive changing the rules so as to entrench itself in power, regardless of the will of the people. The same Alinskyite mentality that rammed through ObamaCare. Rules are what you make the other guy live up to. ("We make ‘em up as we go along.")
Now, with the same anti-transparency approach used on ObamaCare, Wisconsin Democrats plan to close down scrutiny while they tailor election practices to benefit themselves.
Chicago rules ruthlessness coupled to a far left structural agenda. Precisely the brew that Saul Alinsky created when he began his work with community organizing on Chicago's South Side and took up residence in Hyde Park.
Our democratic process is being degraded, moving in a distinctly unpleasant direction: a ruling party rigging elections, paying off its allied groups, practicing predatory governance with regard to the business class, which it regards as pariahs. A compliant media supplies propaganda extolling the leader, and framing the news to portray the governing class in the best light. Workers are kept in line with unions.
Are there any honest Democrats out there willing to denounce this hijacking of the electoral process? Those who claim to be thoughtful liberals ought to take a look at the corruption machines being designed in Wisconsin.
Tyranny creeps in one step at a time.
“...Are there any honest Democrats out there willing to denounce this hijacking of the electoral process?...”
Ummm....in a word, No.
This ain’t Great Grandpa’s democrat party anymore. Not unless your great grandpa was Vladimir “BougieWhiteTrash” Lenin, or Joey “Big Hair” Stalin, or maybe Lev Davidovich Bronstein (that would be Leon “Kill Da Kapitalisten Schwine” Trotsky)...
So let’s take inventory...
We have a complete f***ing MORON democrat congressman (Hank Johnson (D), 4th CD, Georgia) questioning an ADMIRAL in the US NAVY about whether Guam will tip over because there are too many Marines on the island (and he was SERIOUS)...and then tries to DEFEND his comments...

We have a babbling idiot democrat senator from California demanding that a General call her “senator” (I still call her “MA’AM”...or maybe just “smacked ass”) who isn’t fit to man a cash register at Burger King; that would be MA’AM Barbra MA’AM Boxer MA’AM...senator MA’AM from Cali-MA’AM-fornia MA’AM... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f0CprVYsG0k
Then you have the likes of Shiela Jackson Lee (whose brains would shame a Chia Pet), Maxine Waters (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OrA9zj94NuU), Charlie Rangel (http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052970203946904574300013592601036.html) - All Bright, Shining Towers of intellect and perfect examples of what happens when you lower the educational standards of a country down to the level of “Useful Idiot 101”.
And let’s not forget the lifelong “Pro-Life democrat” congressman, who, at the last moment (that being right at the critical point n the House vote) switches his and his whole gang’s vote and basically condemns untold thousands more infants to their deaths - because a certain person “promises” to write an order that it won’t happen. And he believes him...or maybe, just maybe, it was all just an act with the congressman all along to get elected.
We have senators taking outright bribes of taxpayer money to basically prostitute their votes and themselves into betraying the country and sell us into socialism and economic slavery - all to a left-over 1960s Botox-overdosed hippie woman House Speaker with with Nazi-attitude style politics and a man who still hasn’t produced positive, Constitutional evidence that he is eligible to hold the office.
And they’re OK with all of this!
No, I’d say it’s a pretty good bet there aren’t any Dems left with a shred of intelligence, patriotism, integrity, nor honor left.
So to answer your question - “willng to denounce...etc.,” - the answer is No.
But are they Honest? Yes, they ARE honest now...they are VERY honest about exactly WHO and WHAT they really are - and have been for quite some time...
Question is, are the people who voted for them intelligent enough to SEE who and what they really are, and more importantly, do they CARE?
Question is, are the people who voted for them intelligent enough to SEE who and what they really are, and more importantly, do they CARE?
No...
Well, then, there it is...
I just call it like I see it...;-)
No changes in districts will be made this year. All that redistricting will go on in 2011 and perhaps into 2012, based on the 2010 census. Let's hope that enough Republicans will be elected to the state legislatures next year to see to it that the GOP will not get screwed too much in in either congressional or state legislative redistricting.
As for Republicans not receiving census materials, there is a number you can call to have them sent to you after April 12. I thought that the Census Bureau will come looking for anyone who failed to submit a form - but maybe that only applies to 'Rat districts.
Obama, Soros et all will CHEAT in any way they can.
You hit the nail on the head. But does any GOP organization have the guts to plan and implement counter-fraud operations? Expecially after Al Franken's fraudelently acquired Senate seat and vote was the margin of victory for the 'Rats on health care! Michael Steele, are you listening?
Mine was hand-delivered to me in my own front yard by a sweet little lady who was at least 80.
I met an honest democrat once.
Well “met” is the wrong word. I mean to say I saw the gravestone of one. In a movie.
Thank you for the ping. FRegards ....
“...I saw the gravestone of one...”
Was that before or after the dead Dem heard the words “Free Government Giveaway...” and the grave started opening???
Gravestone in a movie? I don’t get the point.
Artistic license!
Maybe the movie was “I Walked With A Zombie”...
or “Ghost Breakers” with Bob Hope...

Yeah, I know Norman Lear’s a lib stooge...but even a broken clock is right twice a day...
Hahah! Archie Bunker could have prevented 9-11 if everyone on planes had been packing.
Yeah...sadly ironic, isn’t it? A Lib sitcom writer making fun of supposed “conservative” attitudes hit the nail on the head - and is probably too stupid to even remember it...
Attached are talking points regarding AB 895 and SB 640, election law reform bills that the Democrats are pushing through the Legislature very quickly, before public awareness and opposition occur. Please e-mail and/or call your WI State Representative and Senator (plus others?) and ask them to oppose the bills. You can find their names and contact information at http://www.legis.wisconsin.gov/w3asp/waml/waml.aspx. E-mails to newspapers would help, too.
AB 895 and SB 640 would increase voter fraud and corruption, allow motor voter registration and satellite early voting locations (e.g. dorms, outside of bars, etc.), ease absentee voting requirements, accept school IDs for registration, create a state voter database to merge with a national one, etc. Citizens who tend not to vote in low-turnout elections would receive automatic/permanent absentee ballot status, one of several unfunded mandates with high administrative costs to municipalities, that will have to prepare and mail many more ballots with return postage. The Democrats are determined to expand socialism at all levels in sneaky ways! The bills do not contain mandatory voter ID provisions, which any election reform legislation must include.
The Republican National Committee and Republican Party of WI are spending money and working hard to defeat the reforms that threaten the integrity of election systems, in all 50 states, including WI (as they have done for years). Both depend on our financial support.
Please forward this action item to people in, or with ties to, WI (not only voters). Thank you!
Phone Script for Tuesday Blitz Day
TIPS:
• Practice!! Call your cell phone or work voicemail and play it back so you can hear how you sound!
• Be polite
• Speak clearly and slowly – let your emotion show but not so that you cannot be understood
• Thank whomever you speak to for their assistance
• Call all 5 of the targeted members as they may be the ones most likely to change their minds if they know people are watching how they will vote!
• Call Reps Staskunas and Barca as they will play a key role in the next step of the process.
SCRIPT:
Hello. My name is ____________________________. I am a resident of ______________ WI. (mention here if the person you are calling is your representative or one of family, friends, do business there etc.)
I am calling to inform you of my concern and opposition to the legislation SB 640 or what is called the Wisconsin Voter Protection Act. This bill does not protect my vote. It does not include any provision for voter ID. It will allow for greater abuse by those who want to take away my vote. And it will overburden the municipal clerks and their budgets to accommodate these new regulations. Please vote against this in the Joint Finance Committee until the bill actually protects votes and voters.
I will be watching to see which way you vote. And that will not be forgotten in November.
VARIATIONS:
In the attached documents are other very good points so use one that is of particular interest to you.
If voicemails are full, flood their fax and email!
NEXT STEP:
If this does pass through the Joint Finance Committee it is expected that it will be going to the floor for a vote. Then start contacting your Representatives directly and share this with family and friends.
this is happening in Colorado also
Yeah, the Democrats were specifically focusing on the Mountain West and Colorado was a main target.
So can Republican districts set up these absentee vote booths outside of, say, churches?
Yeah. It was a zombie flick. ;d
One guy had a screen name: “Archie Bunker on Steroids”. I wondered if the guy was Mark Levin.
