Do you doubt the President( he is the “White House”) will respond very soon without the petition?

“Petitions do nothing but make signors feel good about signing.”

You have a point, but the other choice is to not sign. I’m already on so many email lists anyway, so why not.

I agree, but what’s a little more spam...

Back President Trump’s effort to make certain the census form contains the citizenship question in it and no reference to race. But to the country of where the respondent is a citizen of if not an American citizen.
TIME TO END HYPHENATING AMERICANS

One thing the Mexican Constitution has that we should consider doing.Mexico has no hyphenated Mexicans. They prohibit any reference to race when they conduct a census or issue any means of identification, Where a photo id is not available physical description is needed skin color yes but not by race but by nationality..

By doing this Mexico has avoided “balkanizing”, creating fractional disputes in areas where a given group in one of its states is a majority or a minority. Plus it could play a significant part in shutting down the political playing off racial divisions between Americans by the Democrats.

The still swampy Supreme Court doesn't have the constitutional option of politically forcing the other branches to ignore which people are citizens imo.

And if the White House was reading FRee Republic then it should have included the following major constitutional problems with non-citizens voting on the petition imo, problems identified after the Civil War.

First, how can the feds protect and defend Section 2 of the 14th Amendment if the feds don’t know who its citizens are?

In addition to the feds needing to know the number of citizens to be able to comply with Section 2, also consider the following.

The post-Civil War congressional record shows that discussion related to Section 2 shows concern that renegade states who manipulate ballot box by allowing undocumented Democrats (my term) to vote in order to weaken the voting power of majority citizens are effectively nullifying the "Uniform rule of Naturalization Clause," Clause 4 of Section 8 of Article I.

It's not surprising that PDJT is keeping his eyes open for Democratic ballot box fraud in 2020 elections.

Patriots need to support PDJT in working with the states to allow only citizens who present valid citizenship / photo ID cards to be allowed to vote, such cards scannable and / or containing security chip to facilitate “vision-impaired” Democratic voting officials.

Patriots also need to elect a new patriot Congress in the 2020 elections that will not only promise to support PDJT's vision of MAGA, now KAG, but will also promise to uphold their oaths to protect and defend both citizens and the Constitution.

Remember in November 2020!

MAGA! Now KAG!

Each time an issue is raised to prominence, it becomes a litmus test for the competence of the President in Nov 2020. The census is a hard event to execute without many minor hiccups. In the past, those hiccups were accepted and not blamed on the president.

But this time, raising the profile of the Census like this will be very political. It is so easy for Democrats in a purple state to sabotage the census process.... or just to be incompetent Democrats... and gues who the media will blame?

The same is true of every other real and imagined issue.

The Democrats only need to successfully sabotage one and smear the president with it. Trump cannot afford to look incompetent on a single issue where he is the one who appears to have made it an issue.

Of course, the media has a short attention span. So Trump is in the postion of needing to have multiple backup issues he can switch to as distractions when the media is blaming him for some bureaucractic failure.

I have had driver's licenses in two states,at two different times. Both applications [and subsequent renewals] Asked if I was a US citizen; and I had to provide a birth certificate.

I don't see what the big deal is. Also had to provide a proof of residency at the address I provided; such as a currant utility bill w/ my name and address.

'Merica.

Maybe the best way would be to rip up the forms when they arrive.
