5. Well... yeah. That's the point.

There's a reason NC and TX have put these in place and OR hasn't.

8. Demint and the Heritage Foundation are for voter suppression

Paul Weyrich was one of the first presidents of the Heritage Foundation and he was a leader back in 1981 in pushing for voter suppression

A progressive oligarchy is what America needs.
