NAACP leaders: Efforts to block Obamacare and change election laws a ‘subversion of democracy’

Perhaps NAACP you can explain how doing the will of the people is a subversion of democracy?
The majority of citizens want the abomination of Obamacare repealed and our election laws reformed. That is democracy.

Who exactly is "restricting voter registration and access to the polls"?
All I want is one person, one vote, where that person is eligible to vote and nowhere else.
Is that really asking too much?
Anything else is a violation the rights of every law abiding voter.

How about the Subversive-in-Chief’s refusal to follow laws?

Is it racist if we call it a Representative Republic?

It is a subversion of democracy to fail to read a bill before you sign it.

It is a subversion of democracy, to rule by Executive order when the Congress passes the laws.

It is a subversion of democracy to go to war without a declaration of war from Congress.

It is a subversion of democracy to ban constitutionally protected rights by regulations, as with gun restrictions.

It is a subversion of democracy to create Czars to rule outside of the public eye.

It is a subversion of democracy to hide from the public the financial and other information when congress seeks to investigate as part of its oversight duties.

It is a subversion of democracy to weaken the military which protects us, while giving billions of dollars to the Muslim Brotherhood front groups.

But it is not a subversion for Congress to actually vote on something, to debate something, to reject something, because the people do not wish it.

According to the National Association for the Advancement of Communist Priniciples (NAACP), limiting blacks to a single vote per candidate in each election is “subverting democracy”.

We are a republic or at least we started out that way

Maybe the Republicans should not have liberated these ingrates from slavery, since they obviously want it again.

Thanks Tailgunner Joe.
"The will of voters is being completely overtaken" on several fronts, including efforts to overturn the federal Affordable Care Act, restrict voter registration and access to the polls, and, in Michigan, the use of emergency managers in financially stressed cities, said Derrick Miller, president of the Mississippi State Conference NAACP, and the Rev. Nelson B. Rivers III, national NAACP vice president of stakeholder relations.
