Keep in mind Dred there are other considerations.

For those who seem to think property ownership is so special, some of the folks that need to be bailed out financially are those that are / were land owners. You want to insure that they have a vote too but the folks who manage their affairs yet rent should not. Again, where is the constitutional requirement that you own property in order to vote? What other rights should a citizen be denied if they don't own property? How about the right to speak their minds, peaceably assemble, worship as they choose, own a firearm? Should they also be subject to unwarranted search since they rent? Of course they should also be forced to answer questions and be denied a lawyer at interrogations. I mean why the hell should any of the constitution be applied to non property owners?



Thats exactly the point Im trying to make.
Im not saying that only property owners should be allowed to vote.
But why that would be a bad idea
Death is no easy answer
For those who wish to know
Ask those who have been before you
What fate the future holds
It ain't pretty

I would not worry to much about the homeless deciding an election I would be more concerned with things like this. http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Voting_machine

No wonder the Obamessiah is acting like he already won!   :D
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude than the animated contest of freedom, go from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen!

I figured we were on the same sheet of music but wanted to add another adagio to the score.  ;)


FWIW there are already some folks, perhaps more than a few hundred, that have been denied the right to vote because they didn't have a fixed permanent address. They are some full time RV'ers based in TN IIRC. There is a suit in progress now to reinstate their right to vote.
