New Voter Registration Declines, Liberal Democrats To Scour Mosques, Graveyards & Prisons For Votes

Liberal Democrats are having a tough time finding and registering new voters, leaving them to scour the graveyards and jails for voters in the 2006 mid-term elections.

Illegal Immigrants who marched in the streets in May promising “Today we march, tommorrow we vote” have renigged on their promise to Liberal Democrats.

Voter registration in most urban centers in America have not seen any sharp increases and have stayed flat since the illegals from Mexico and other South and Central American Countries took to the streets demanding that America open it’s borders.

Hundreds of Thousands of people, mainly supporters of Communism and Terrorism protested in May this year and promised more protests and marches.  Where have all the protesters gone?

Illegal Immigrants even boycotted retail businesses earlier this year promising that major retailers would feel the crunch without their bucks.  The only positive thing that came out of the boycott was the sharp decrease in shoplifting that occured.

One can bet that Liberal Democrats will once again push to make it legal for Convicted Felons to vote in their search for people as crooked or even more so then themselves.

In Michigan where Governor Jennifer Granholm and Senator Debbie Stabenow, both Liberal Democrats who have brought nothing to the table in the Great Lake State are struggling for their political survival in a political enviroment that should have brought them easy success in the November elections this year.

Granholm, a Canadian immirant herself has chased away more business out of Michigan and her most shining moment so far was that she convinced the Liberals at GOOGLE to bring their corporate headquarters to Michigan. 

Opponent Rich DeVos from West Michigan could see easy pickens despite the fact that most minority voters in South East Michigan are still conned by the Liberal Democrats and the fact that Granholm and Stabenow share much support from the Islamic Terror Community in Dearborn, Michigan which is home to the US faction of Hezbollah.

Criminals, Islamic Terrorists and Illegal Immigrants are the people looking to change laws in the United States and the Liberal Democrats consider them to be their friends.  That is the kind of leadership we don’t need.

UPDATE:

The ACLU and the Liberal Democrats in their efforts to sway this Novembers election are taking the neccessary steps to allow convicted felons to vote. 

Criminals and the Liberal Democrats seem to go hand in hand, check out this story…..

The League of Women Voters in Tennessee also will be at the meetings to help former felons begin the process to restore their voting rights.

“For many of these people, if they start before Oct. 7, they’ll be ready to vote in the Nov. 7 election,” said Terry McMoore, spokesman for the Tennessee NAACP.

Denver Schimming, 48, of Goodlettsville, is a former felon convicted of bank robbery who campaigned at the Capitol to get the new bill passed. He is one of the planned speakers at the meeting in Jackson.

Schimming said voting allows ex-felons to take control of and responsibility for their lives after they’ve completed their sentences.

“You don’t have to let your felony conviction define your life,” said Schimming, who had his rights restored after completing his sentence in 1996. “You don’t have to be a failure the rest of your life. You can get back into the mainstream and make your voice heard.”

The bill was a compromise that permanently denied voting rights for more types of felons and placed financial obstacles in the process to register, said Hedy Weinberg, executive director of the ACLU in Tennessee.

“What I continue to emphasize is that this is a first step,” Weinberg said. “We had to be practical. There was lots of debate and dialogue about what we were willing give up in order to get a streamlined process.”

In the past, some former felons had to go to court and often had to pay attorney fees to restore their voting rights. Under the new rules, all former felons can bypass the court and complete a certificate of restoration at county election commission offices.

But the bill also expanded the felonies that permanently prohibit a person from ever voting. Starting July 1, anyone convicted of a sexual offense will not be eligible to restore voting rights. Previously only felons convicted of rape were excluded.

Also added late in the legislative process were two provisions of the bill that require former felons to be current on child support payments and to pay any financial restitution that is part of their sentences.

“When the bill was first introduced, it only required completion of sentences, probation and parole,” Weinberg said. “The child support provision is unfair and penalizes poor mothers and fathers, who may never have the money to buy back their franchise.”

Under the new requirements, the county circuit court where the felon was convicted verifies the restitution has been paid and the Department of Human Services verifies the child support payments.

“We are in the process of identifying individuals who were adversely affected by the child support provision,” Weinberg said. “We are committed to righting this wrong, either by seeing it repealed, or going into court and challenging it.”

The NAACP and the ACLU estimate there are 98,000 convicted felons in the state of Tennessee. The state Division of Elections does not have a count of how many felons have had their voting rights restored.

The changes to the felony voting law only apply to convictions after May 18, 1981. Felons who were convicted between Jan. 15, 1973, and May 17, 1981, are allowed to register to vote, regardless of the type of conviction. Felons convicted prior to Jan. 15, 1973, have a different set of rules regarding felony voting rights.
