Time To Show Your Discontent With The Powers-To-Be By Changing Your Voter Registration
May 15, 2007 will soon be upon us and it’s time to show your feelings about the goings on in the commonwealth as well as the rest of the country by considering changing your political party on your voter registration. If you haven’t noticed the Dem-o-craps are gaining momentum with their reforms and are looking to take away more rights and freedoms for you the voter.

The latest and greatest is the Firearm Registration Act (House Bill 760), which will place a $10.00 per year tax on any and all firearms legally owned by you the citizens and voters of the commonwealth under the pretence of crime prevention when in fact, legally owned firearms are rarely used by their owners in the commission of a crime. (After all, do they, the powers to be, really think that anyone that is possession of an illegal firearm or who by law cannot legally own a firearm is going to register it?)

The last estimate that I heard of was that there was more then one million (1,000,000) licensed hunters in the Commonwealth and this new tax would mean an extra ten million dollars ($10,000,000) for the government to waste. (And that figure would be based on each hunter only owning one firearm.)

This just another way of placing a new tax on we the people, yes us the voters.

What’s the next tax that will be tried? What if The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania decided to start placing a yearly tax everything we the people own from our Car, TV, Radio, Computer, Jewry, Pocket watch as well as any other real property right down to your children’s bikes. Don’t think this can’t happen as this is done in other states like Connecticut and Tennessee just to name a few.

Show your discontent by what is going on simply by changing your Voter Registration.

The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania also has a program for 1st time high school voters that have turned 18 years of age and will be voting for the 1st time, it’s called Vote With A Vet.

THE GOALS OF VOTE WITH A VET

The goals of this program are to encourage voter participation among our high school voting-age youth, as well as to teach them about the sacrifices our veterans have made, and continue to make, so that we may live in a democratic society. The right to vote is one of our most basic rights as citizens. The Vote With a Vet program seeks to honor the sacrifices of our veterans who fought to preserve this right and to highlight registering and voting. In 2002, over 4,700 students from 49 schools across the Commonwealth participated in the Vote With a Vet Program.

The elected powers-to-be work for “We The People”, call them, write them, e-mail them and let them know how you fell about what is going on and TELL THEM what you want them to do about it, that is what they are put in power for, to represent you in any and all matters of the government operations.

If you are not registered, register, if you are registered, VOTE, it’s the only tool we have, given to us, (WE THE PEOPLE) in the Constitution granting us, (WE THE PEOPLE) power over the government and the ability to control our freedoms in this land of the free, that WE THE PEOPLE live and practice our freedoms every day.

It’s your vote and it only counts if you use it, and if you decide it’s too much trouble to vote, don’t complain about what is going on and stop going around with the woes me look, after all, you had a chance to change it with your vote but didn’t.
