Disenfranchising

     Many states led by the right wing are leading a charge to make voting nearly impossible many minority groups and the underclass.  This is most reminiscent of the Alien and Sedition Acts which delayed the citizenship of thousands of immigrants, in an attempt by the federalist party to remain in power.

     My question is why would the conservatives of the country wish to make it harder to vote for those who don't share their views and social background?  As opinionated as I am I would never seek to take away the franchise that is voting from the right wing.

     The right to vote is something that wars have been waged over toppled governments and started wars.  The only way to preserve a Republican society like we have here in the United States, is to ensure that as many people as possible participate in the electoral process.  This is our nation, and this is our government.

     If we don't fight this then I fear that we shall be going down a path were only one party has power, no matter how right or wrong it may be, omnipotence leads to naught but ill.  And should we allow this to continue then government of the people, by the people, for the people, may just perish from the Earth.

Unfortunately one wont always succeed in the fight for freedom, but that doesn't mean one should no longer try.
