BLM: Don’t Believe the Left’s Lies

I Was a Black Teen in the ’60s. Don’t Believe Left’s Lies About ‘Jim Crow’ Election Reforms.

Here is a real black woman who has done her research.

The right to vote is one of the most sacred rights that we as free citizens can exercise.

Yet today, far too many Americans have lost trust in the fairness of our elections.

That’s why we’ve made a commitment at The Heritage Foundation to work with state lawmakers across the country to make needed reforms and restore integrity to our elections. (The Daily Signal is the news outlet of The Heritage Foundation.)

Yet, amazingly, some of those commonsense laws have come under attack from the left and a biased news media.

The falsehoods and outright lies are appalling.

Growing up as a black teenager during the 1960s, I knew the tremendous sacrifices and dangers that my friends and relatives endured to secure the right to vote for black Americans.

So, let me be clear: I have zero interest in disenfranchising or suppressing the vote of any portion of the population.

But that’s not what’s happening in Georgia or other states pursuing election reforms. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.

The left’s lies are a scare tactic. They are an attempt to rally support for a bill currently in Congress, ironically called the “For the People Act,” or HR 1, which would only make things worse.

HR 1 would create a federal takeover of elections and force changes to election laws that would actually allow for greater fraud and election tampering.

It would allow illegal votes to cancel out legal ones. It would diminish the very voting rights that my relatives in the 1960s, the women suffragists of the early 1900s, and all the men and women of the armed forces throughout our history fought so hard to gain and protect.

HR 1’s proposed changes to election laws do exactly the opposite of creating trust.

Under HR 1, no one has to prove they are who they say they are in order to vote. It automatically adds noncitizens to voter registration rolls and outlaws safeguards that prevent people from voting twice.

And that’s just scratching the surface of this terrible law.

HR 1 isn’t for the people; it’s about creating more power for the politicians.

You can learn more about the problems with HR 1 at Heritage.org.

Free and fair elections are the cornerstone of our republic, and every citizen, no matter their political persuasion, must be able to trust the voting process and its results.

The very future of our nation depends on it.

Texas Abbott Slams Racial Slur

Dr. M. L King IS turning over in his grave in tears at the insanity in America.

Abbott Calls on Democratic Party Official to Resign Following ‘Disgusting’ Racial Slur Against Sen. Scott

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott on Sunday called on a state Democratic Party official to resign after he referred to Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.) as an “oreo” in a now-deleted social media post.

Responding to Scott’s GOP rebuttal to President Joe Biden’s first address to a joint session of Congress on April 28, Gary O’Connor, chair of the Lamar County Democratic Party, criticized Scott as “little more than an oreo with no real principles.”

“I had hoped that Scott might show some common sense but it seems clear he is little more than an oreo with no real principles,” O’Connor wrote in a post.

He has since deleted the post from his Facebook page.

“This is disgusting, hateful, and completely unacceptable,” the Republican governor said on Twitter. “O’Connor must apologize to @SenatorTimScott & step down immediately.”

Abbott also suggested that the state Democratic Party should “censure” O’Connor for his remarks about Scott, the first black politician from the South to serve in the U.S. Senate.

Texas Republican Rep. Pat Fallon separately called on O’Connor to resign for posting the “defamatory and racist remark” against the South Carolina senator on social media, his office said in a release.

“Gary O’Connor’s comment against Senator Tim Scott is abhorrent, insulting, and unforgivable,” Fallon said in a statement. “Both he and the entire Lamar County Democratic Party should be ashamed of this racist behavior. O’Connor must apologize and step down immediately.”
