Dear Editor:
I find it mystifying that former senator Doug Berger (D) is obsessed with our We the People-Franklin Co Patriots group reading of the US Constitution. He sees a contradiction in my explaining why we elected not to read any amendments other than the original 10 and Roger Lytle expressing his view that the 17th should be repealed. The fact that it does need to be repealed, has absolutely nothing to do with our reading, period. That is another issue. Yes, the 17th amendment was implemented by Woodrow Wilson (D) a known racist and Progressive (Socialist) in order to change the balance of power the founders very carefully crafted. It reduced the states power, and gave more power to the executive branch. It is amusing to be lectured by a former (?) member of the Communist Democratic Socialists of America on the Constitution and the republic form of government versus the democratic form.
As to my statements after the 2012 election, I was referring to our national election, not local, where there was very little attempted fraud. What was attempted was stopped. The national election was fraught with fraud: electronic voting machines that would not register a vote for Romney and switched it to Obama, no matter how many times the voter tried, that never registered an Obama vote as a vote for Romney. The precincts that strangely went 100% for Obama – a statistical impossibility, and precincts with say 450 people registered to vote and “somehow” 650 people voted, largely for Obama The usual voting by dead people, convicted felons, the legally mentally incompetent, and voters using another registered voters name and address’s, all because there was no law in place asking the voter to prove their legal identity, as we have to do in so many other areas of our lives, happened in the 2012 and many previous elections. How anyone can defend the corruption of fair and legal voting is beyond me, but that is exactly what the democrat party is fighting for – the right to inject fraud and intimidation into our elections. Once and for all, the tea party did not come about to suppress voting, no matter how much Sen. Berger wants to say it. TEA stands for Taxed Enough Already. The charge by progressives that the tea party is racist are absurd – I have been to many, many tea party rallies, in NC and Washington DC, and have heard many wonderful black conservatives speak the truth. Go tell Mr. Clarence Henderson, who was one of the four young black men who sat at the Woolworth lunch counter in protest in the 1960’s, who spoke at a rally I helped organize in Raleigh to thank our republican legislature, that he is a racist. Mr. Bill Randall also spoke at that rally and others, and I supported Bill in his run for the U.S. House of Rep’s by hosting a fund raiser for him in our home. We also hosted a fund raiser for Renee Ellmers – I guess that proves conservative tea party types are sexist and racist.
