    It's all about taking action and not being lazy. So you do the work, whether it's fitness or whatever. It's about getting up, motivating yourself and just doing it.

    How about this.

    Anybody can vote....IF:

    1 - You still reside in the state you were born in.

    2 - You are a native born citizen.

    3 - You received NO direct government (at any level) payment, subsidy, benefit, check, voucher, cash or emolument within the last year.

    That works for me. It doesn't work for government.

    I'd take that.

    It might not be perfect but it would be an improvement.

    I was born in Dover, Delaware at an Air Force Base. Less than two years after that, and every two years until my dad left the Air Force, I have been in a number of foreign countries and a number of American states.
    I've no impetus to return to Delaware.

    As a pre-teen I have called N.C.my home. Went to school here. Got my drivers license here.

    Am I just a National Dreamer?

    Yes to the first.
    The second is a good idea but is too subjective to enforce well.

    I'd say you should have to read a copy of the Constitution aloud to the registrar and then copy it by hand to register to vote.

    I also no longer reside in the state I was born in and have no plans to return.
    But I would support that provision to prevent Kalifornication, I plan to move to a state based on its politics and I would trust the people of that state to keep it that way.

    Agreed, and politicians should be capable of sighting the section of the constitution that allows them to create
    legislation that is repugnant to it , ergo;

    Did you mean "cite" the Constitution? "Sighting" is something you do with either your eyes or with say the telescope on your rifle.

    Every law should be automatically sent to SCOTUS for Constitutional review and there should be a separate branch of government tasked with playing "devil's advocate" to try to prove them all unconstitutional.

    So you think the "Free State" project should be illegitimate? You don't believe in individuals being able to relocate, create the government that least holds power?

    Thin of what I am saying. Because this, though your view means Kalifornication, it also means no way of creating succession corridors.

    So basically, most of the people in this thread said they should not be allowed to vote.

    I'd rather see Strat barred from voting than allow illiterates to vote.
    But I'm sure he would be more careful when reading and copying the Constitution for the registrar than he is when posting on the internet.

    It's a difficult question.

    Perhaps we should imitate the Swiss and allow the people of the community you move to to vote on whether you should be allowed to vote there?

    I know it's wrong to allow people fleeing Demoncrat hellholes to move to other states and turn them into hellholes.

    I'm open to debate on this subject.

    Liberal Judges are not legally fit for office, so we have a problem there before we get started,
    you and I've seen the rulings from liberal globalist, they reinvent the constitution, then rule.

    But yea, if they were truly constitutionalist judges, perfect......

    Liberal judges are a separate problem that can only be solved by keeping liberals out of power.

    But I find it strange that the Constitution doesn't require all laws to be subject to a test of Constitutionality, then judges went and declared that most people don't have standing to challenge unconstitutional laws and that even those who do must wait to be harmed before they can, they they made special classes exempt like environmentalists.

    Well, perhaps that is the way, indeed, to do it.

    I'd be fine with that.

    Except that I payed the same State taxes as every other individual since I've been lawfully employed at 16.

    If I've got skin in the game I demand a say. Don't like it. Don't steal my ducats.

    It's all very complicated and I see your point of view and don't disagree.

    Maybe we should only have the migration voting restriction for people from outside the country and just have all the other restrictions to keep socialists and communists from taking over a state/town etc.

    They have. My point still stands that they weren't educated about the ineptitude of government. Perhaps it is foolish of me to believe women could learn to believe in their own self reliance more than government, but as a husband and father of two daughters, it is hard to come to terms with feeling they should be denied the right to vote. This is all hypothetical of course, as more women vote now than men. All I can do is teach them they can take care of themselves better than the government can.

    No you aren't, you have demonstrated to be a fascist. That attitude only makes women weaker, in a free society men and women are different, but ultimately, just removing the right for a woman to be in a position or to vote is simply out dated rubbish.
