Democratic California Governor
Gavin (“I never met a French Laundry I didn’t like”) Newsome, and his
friends in government, are upset that the state’s electorate might be acting up
and engaging in representative democracy. More than two million citizens of the
formerly Golden State have thus far exercised their right and signed a petition
to recall the tyrannical and hypocritical Governor.
This did not sit well with Newsome
or his “Democratic” colleagues. The California
State Senate Elections Committee has prepared Senate Bill 663, apparently sponsored
by Newsome himself, that would allow a politician targeted by a recall to get a
copy of the petition- including the names and addresses of
everyone who signed it and their contact information.
Try to
wrap your mind around that: the very politicians who are adamantly against laws
that would require voters to present any type of I.D. to vote for them,
want to pass a law that would grant them access to the personal information of
anyone who might wish to see them removed from office.
It is
critically important that we know who we are voting for in the first place, and
equally so that we know our votes are being counted. America’s first president,
George Washington, refused to be king and to serve more than two terms…because
he didn’t want to set a precedent of a ruler being seen as monarchical or
evincing signs of dictatorship. Conversely, FDR was happy to win a fourth
term in office and to try to stack the court.
Today’s
Democrats abhor the concept of voter I.D. but laud the concept of identifying
any and everyone who has the temerity to question their power or want them
removed.
Those notions
are the building blocks of tyranny. There is nothing progressive about that.
