Get Ready for the Fight

---

Right off the bat there are two issues we need to be familiar with and take very seriously. The Democrats are moving full steam ahead with their tyrannical game plan. We must be ready to take these issues head on as they have no plans on slowing down any time soon.

Issue number one; On Friday March 8^th, the House Democrats passed HR 1, 234-193. It’s named the “For the People Act” and it is anything but “for the people.” Adam Brandon, President of Freedom Works, writes in his blog titled, “Oppose the So-Called “For the People Act” HR 1”, “H.R. 1 is an ambitious effort by the House Democrats to dictate the manner and outcome of elections in the United States.” I encourage you to read Brandon’s blog post, but here are the highlights of a bill that “would steamroll federalism and dictate to the states how their elections should be run.” H.R. 1 would prevent states from determining the qualifications of their voters and lift the ban on voting for convicted felons. The 14^th amendment allows states to bar certain citizens from voting for “participation in rebellion, or other crime.”

• H.R. 1 authorizes a three judge panel at the U.S. District Court in the District of Columbia to redraw congressional districts. This is in direct violation of the 10^th Amendment and the sovereignty of the individual states. Nowhere in Article III of the Constitution does it grant this kind of power to the courts.

• H.R. 1 authorizes federal employees at executive agencies to work as poll workers and ensure they get paid for doing so.

• H.R. 1 would force political organizations to reveal their donors. This is in direct violation of the landmark civil rights case in, NAACP v Alabama (1958) whereby the Supreme Court opined that the NAACP did not have to disclose its membership list, as forcing them to do so would violate the due process clause of the 14^th Amendment. This also violates the Supreme Court’s opinion in Citizens United v FEC (2010) which upheld that political donations are protected free speech under the First Amendment. H.R. 1 goes as far as stipulating that Citizens United v FEC decision is “detrimental to democracy” and that the Constitution should be amended to defy it.

• H.R. 1 broadens the definition of a “lobbyist.” It specifies that anyone who “provides who provides “strategic and political counseling services” to someone who contracts or lobbies is now a lobbyist. Brandon writes, “the left is trying to create a six degrees of Kevin Bacon test to define all Americans as lobbyists and thus regulate their political speech.”

• H.R. 1 will force sponsors of online political ad to file duplicative and extensive reports with the Federal Elections Commission (FEC). H.R.1 will hold tech companies liable for any ads that go up that may have been sponsored by an unauthorized person. This will in turn increase the risk for these companies and thus raise the cost of sponsoring political content on line. This will have the intended consequence of sponsoring on line political ads to the wealthy who have a legal team to cut through the FEC bureaucratic red-tape.

• H.R. 1 proposes turning the FEC into a 5-member body with the ruling party having a three seat majority, and the ability to hand down decisions unilaterally.

• H.R. 1 would dedicate taxpayer dollars to election campaigns. It would create a subsidy for campaigns and would match six times a political donation with tax payer money.

• H.R. 1 would allow Congress, in a violation of the separation of powers, to create a commission to determine a “code of conduct” for judges of the Supreme Court. Not only is this a blatant attempt to go after the constitutionalist on the Supreme court it is an unconstitutional attempt by Congress to set standards for a co-equal branch of the government.

While we inherently know H.R. 1 is nothing but a hot steamy unconstitutional pile of crap, it is a testament to the depths of depravity at which the Democratic Party will go destroy our republic and gain power and control over the American people. It is in and of itself so evil and so wicked to even suggest it boards on insanity, stupidity and recklessness.

Issue number two; a bi-partisan attempt to infringe on our second amendment right to keep and bear arms in Florida. Two Florida grass root based organizations, The Americans for Gun Safety Now (AFGSN) (www.americansforgunsafetynow.com) and Ban Assault Weapons Now (BAWN) (www.bawnfl.org) created a bi-partisan alliance that they claim will bring “real gun reform” to Florida and ban assault weapons. The end game for these organizations is to get enough signatures on their petition to get a proposal on the 2020 ballot to amend the Florida constitution to designate any semi-automatic long gun in Florida with a capacity of more than ten rounds an “assault weapon” and ban them for future sale or possession.

• This proposal would require Floridians register their firearms with the Florida Department of Law Enforcement.

• Failure to do so after a grace period would be a third degree felony. That would automatically strip Floridians of their Second Amendment rights to keep and bear arms.

• This proposal would invalidate Florida Criminal Statute 790.335 (http://www.leg.state.fl.us/statutes/) a prohibition on registration and keeping of lists/records.

It cannot be said in strong enough terms; that we are up against a doctrine of pure evil. The Democratic Party has become the party of infanticide, anti-Semitism, bigotry and Socialism. The above makes it crystal clear, they are coming for our guns and they are coming for our individual liberties.

I am psyched to take on this evil force. Are you with me?
