ROFLMAO...especially about the "optional" last lines!

I just got my mail today, and here it is. I got the letter, too. They are scared because they know we are watching, and we will not let them commit fraud. Bring it on, DNC!

[Otta B Sleepin]

These letters have one purpose: intimidation of the poll watchers. It's another cheap shot by the Dems.

Thanks for the ping, livius.

WHY is it that every time we hear a news story about voter fraud that 99.999% of the time it's the Rats doing it???

And now they think leaning on Republicans with threatening letters will dissuade poll watchers from keeping them honest?

...SOB's

"Search the Florida Statutes: Search Results for: "104.0514" - (0 returns)"

Here is what my search for the cited statute turned up, i.e. no such statute found. This could be a problem with the search, but I can't tell what I did wrong.

"...you have the ability to protect one of the most sacred rights of our democracy." (voting)

Ok, let's clear this up right now.

1. Voting is NOT a most sacred right. In fact "voting" as a 'right' isn't even mentioned in the Constitution until the 14th Amendment. Ergo if 'voting' was so sacrosanct it would have been in the Bill of Rights. You know, like Gun Ownership! (sarcasm)
2. The USA isn't a DEMOCRACY.
3. Lastly, voting if anything is TOO EASY. There should be qualifiers prior to allowing one to vote.

   Intelligence should be one. Property ownership another (as it used to be), as why the *%$#^ should some slug in Section 8 housing have the 'right' to RAISE MY PROPERTY TAXES! And KNOWLEDGE of the issues and/or Candidates.

In short, DOLTS should NOT be voting - period.

Property ownership another (as it used to be)

The hell you say. I write a four-figure check every year to the IRS, and you want to disenfranchize me because I'm a renter? Think again.

You have now been provided notice of the law, and thus, please govern yourself accordingly.

BRING IT ON!

[livius]

I was typing pretty fast, copying the letter so that I could post it, and it could be that I copied the number wrong.

I gave the letter to the local Republican Party chairman, and he was going to talk about it in a TV news station interview tonight.

[BoBToMatoE]

DNC Brownshirts. I mean that. Pure intimidation attempt. This has to stop.

[Bahbah]

Recovering-Democrat had a similar post and I thought the Statute number was the same. Maybe she can check in and let us know.

[Ciexyz]

Our attorneys will see them in court if they interfere with our poll watchers' right under law to do their civic duty.

ping!

Here it is. I scanned it:
