Pennsylvania Minor Parties Ask U.S. District Court to Rule on Challenges to Ballot Retention Law, and Failure to Count Write-in Votes

April 16th, 2010

On April 15, the Pennsylvania Constitution, Green and Libertarian Parties filed a brief in U.S. District Court in Constitution Party of Pennsylvania et al v Cortes, 09-cv-01691. The brief asks the Court to rule on the party’s complaints against the 15% registration membership test. The brief also asks the Court to rule on the party’s complaint that write-ins in many counties are never counted, and also that the state arbitrarily decides whether to canvass the write-ins (for example, in 2008, the state elections department reported the write-ins for Chuck Baldwin for President, but not the write-ins for Cynthia McKinney).

The Court had dismissed the case on April 1 without even deciding those issues.

The motion for reconsideration also asks the Court to rule on the constitutionality of the Pennsylvania practice of charging very large amounts of money when petitions are challenged and found insufficient. The Court’s April 1 order had also failed to decide that issue, saying the plaintiffs lack standing.

U.S. House May Vote on Bill to Give D.C. a Voting Member of the U.S. House

April 15th, 2010

U.S. House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer has told the press that the U.S. House may vote on the bill to give the District of Columbia a voting member of the House, possibly as early as next week. See this story.

The bills are S.160 and HR 157. The Senate bill passed the Senate last year. It was not brought up in the House last year because an amendment was attached to require the D.C. government to relax its laws on restrictions on guns. Chances are, the political leadership of D.C. has decided to accept the gun amendment.

A Patriot speaks

Guard with jealous attention the public liberty. Suspect everyone who approaches that jewel. Unfortunately, nothing will preserve it but downright force. Whenever you give up that force, you are ruined.

Patrick Henry (1736 - 1799)

Commonwealth v. State

STATE:1. a politically unified people occupying a definite territory; nation.
2.the territory, or one of the territories, of a government.

COMMONWEALTH: 1. a group of sovereign states and their dependencies associated by their own choice and linked with common objectives and interests.
2.a self-governing territory associated with the U.S.
3.a state in which the supreme power is held by the people; a republican or democratic state.

Pennsylvania is proudly a Commonwealth and we would do well to remember what that means. We are sovereign and the power rests in the people. We joined this union(the united states) willingly and we can willingly leave this union. I hope that it would not come to that,but we must start enforcing the power of the people in Pennsylvania and diminishing the power of the federal territory of Washington D.C.
