DISENFRANCHISED!

Everywhere I turn voices are being raised declaring the primary election season is over for republicans. Everyone from Mitt Romney to Ann Coulter to John McCain to every media outlet to the talk radio hosts to “important” republican endorsers the promulgation is being heard loud and clear. The republican primary season is over, done, finished, a fait accompli.

And the republican presidential nominee is…
John McCain.
There is only one problem with this scenario --
I have not yet voted. Nor have millions of other U.S. citizens.
We have been effectively disenfranchised.

Disenfranchised: adjective;
deprived of the rights of citizenship especially the right to vote

Instead of an uprising with howls of being eliminated, I hear nothing but pleas to support the nominee for the sole rationalization that he is not a democrat. Well, I’m here to tell you that argument could be debated with great veracity and won.

We have a serious problem with the system when a very large percentage of the country has yet to be heard from while the process is deemed to be over.

Thus far we have heard from:
Tuesday 1 January - Monday 14 January 2008
WV Presidential Convention Delegates Selected
Thursday 3 January 2008 *Iowa Caucus
Saturday 5 January 2008 *WY Cty Conventions
Tuesday 8 January 2008 N Hampshire Primary

__This is where the line has been drawn__

There are four months left in the original primary schedule where states would have been choosing and/or voting for their choice of the republican nominee. They might as well save their time and money as there is no longer a CHOICE, but simply capitulation.

To the voters in the following states I ask; WHERE IS YOUR OUTRAGE?
You have been disenfranchised!

Look to see exactly who has had a vote.

Click on the states for actual voting record.

Many of the primarys have been open, meaning anyone can vote for any candidate from either party. Other states have only party delegates selecting the candidate. My state does not allow for party affiliation registration, so I have no idea how one becomes a delegate or how to contact them. When I called my county party, I was told they did not get involved with the primaries. Huh?

For the love of your country and our way of life …..

WAKE THE HELL UP AMERICA!
