Ward Connerly is now in Nebraska and has until July 4th to collect 115,000 signatures to place before the voters in November an initiative to ban government racial preferences policies.
Easy right? Collecting signatures?
But you’re mistaken.
Ward will face extremist opposition from groups like BISC, ACORN, and BAMN who have been on his tail since the launch of his initiative. These groups are opposed to the concept of democracy.
Democracy in theory should work this way:
Citizens should be able to circulate a petition to ask voters whether they want an issue to be voted on by the people in the next election.
However, ACORN and BISC believe democracy should only exist if it benefits their special interest. Otherwise, they will block peaceful citizens from collecting signatures. Their tactic is simple, as someone is signing they will attempt to educate the voter. They call this voter education.
Nevertheless, I pose the following question to you:.
If someone were genuinely interested in persuading someone from not signing a petition would they attempt to educate the voter before they sign or during a petition?
Beware Nebraskans, these voter educator groups are really groups who are against you exercising your First Amendment Right.
