FROM MOUNTAIN MEDIA<BR>
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE DATED DEC. 10, 1997<BR>
THE LIBERTARIAN, By Vin Suprynowicz<BR>
How can we reduce voter turnout?<BR>
<BR>
Toby, somewhere in the Great Northwest, writes:<BR>
<BR>
&quot;I am doing a research paper for my Sr. High School Government
term<BR>
paper. My assignment is 'How to increase voter turnout.' Are there
any<BR>
books or information that I could use to reference, and if you
have time<BR>
could you give me some of your ideas?&quot;<BR>
<BR>
I replied:<BR>
<BR>
# # #<BR>
<BR>
Greetings, Toby --<BR>
<BR>
The book &quot;Votescam,&quot; widely available in paperback,
is worth a look.<BR>
<BR>
But I'm not sure about the premise of your paper, in the first
place.<BR>
<BR>
Before we can answer the question, &quot;How to increase voter
turnout,&quot; it<BR>
seems to me we need to ask &quot;WHO wants to increase voter turnout,
and why?&quot;<BR>
<BR>
Whether the next election sees 70 percent of registered voters
show up at<BR>
the polls, or 50 percent, or 30 percent, the result will be the
same. A<BR>
member of the incumbent Republicrat Party will be elected. He
or she will<BR>
go to the capital, raise taxes, and increase government meddling
in our<BR>
lives. Freedom will be further eroded. The only folks granted
&quot;loopholes&quot;<BR>
and &quot;exemptions&quot; from this ever-tightening vise are
corporate, union, or<BR>
other special interests who have ponied up tens of thousands of
dollars<BR>
worth of bribes -- euphemistically called &quot;campaign contributions&quot;
-- to<BR>
buy &quot;access.&quot;<BR>
<BR>
If the folks running this protection racket thought that higher
voter<BR>
turnouts would upset their applecart, dumping them all out of
office and<BR>
replacing them with Libertarians (or anyone who might REALLY decrease
the<BR>
size and power of government), they would be doing everything
possible to<BR>
PREVENT higher voter turnout, starting with re-enactment of the
poll tax.<BR>
<BR>
Instead, we see our state and local registrars -- FULL-TIME GOVERNMENT
<BR>
EMPLOYEES -- urging HIGHER voter turnout, and making it so easy
to register<BR>
and vote that you can now actually do both by mail.<BR>
<BR>
Why?<BR>
<BR>
To discover their real motivation, look at the recent special
<BR>
presidential election in Bosnia. Because voter turnout was under
50<BR>
percent, the United Nations held that vote was INVALID and had
to be<BR>
redone, figuring terrorist gunmen had frightened too many folks
away from<BR>
the polls.<BR>
<BR>
The risk to governments now in power is not HIGH voter turnout
-- their<BR>
control over the courtesan press, and restrictions on the ability
of third<BR>
parties to get on the ballot or into televised debates, take care
of that.<BR>
<BR>
Instead, their fear is that turnout among wised-up victims unwilling
to<BR>
continue endorsing their schemes will fall so low that they will
no longer<BR>
be able to claim any credible &quot;mandate from the people&quot;
to continue<BR>
building their metastasizing police state.<BR>
<BR>
So, if we want to see anything change, why isn't the title of
your paper<BR>
&quot;How to REDUCE voter turnout?&quot;<BR>
<BR>
&quot;That's outrageous,&quot; you'll likely be told. &quot;Voting
is how we keep the<BR>
democratic process strong.&quot;<BR>
<BR>
Precisely. And the Founders never meant for us to be exclusively
or even<BR>
mostly a democracy, or they'd never have let five Supreme Court
justices<BR>
overrule 218 congressmen. All this vote-counting has actually
gotten<BR>
people believing it's OK to throw away the Second Amendment and
restrict<BR>
the right of the people to keep and bear arms (for example) ...
so long as<BR>
you can get a majority to &quot;vote&quot; for it.<BR>
<BR>
Our current problem in this country is that there's TOO MUCH voting
going<BR>
on, on stuff never meant to be subject to government intervention,
in the<BR>
first place.<BR>
<BR>
But, if you insist, here's a way to &quot;increase voter turnout&quot;:
<BR>
<BR>
Place every state, local, and national ordinance which currently
outlaws,<BR>
taxes, or regulates any drug or medical device or practice, or
any firearm,<BR>
explosive, or militarily useful device up to and including tanks
and<BR>
shoulder-launched missiles, on the ballot. For good measure, also
place on<BR>
the ballot any existing law which authorizes any tax or fee.<BR>
<BR>
Then announce that, under the Sixth Amendment guarantee of a jury
trial,<BR>
it follows that no person may be punished for violating any of
these laws<BR>
unless he or she could reasonably expect to be convicted by a
UNANIMOUS<BR>
vote of a RANDOMLY-SELECTED jury of 12.<BR>
<BR>
Since one juror in 12 represents 8.33 percent of the populace,
obviously<BR>
no law which has only 91 percent popular support can be allowed
to stand<BR>
under the clear intent of the Sixth Amendment; only laws with
92 percent<BR>
popular support can be allowed to stand.<BR>
<BR>
Therefore, any law which is OPPOSED BY 9 PERCENT (OR MORE) OF
VOTERS IN<BR>
THE NEXT ELECTION will be stricken from the books. No more prosecutions
<BR>
under that law will EVER be allowed, even if the Legislature tries
to<BR>
re-instate it.<BR>
<BR>
If the vote goes 91-9 to KEEP the drug laws, the drug laws are
REPEALED.<BR>
If the vote goes 91-9 to KEEP the gun laws, the gun laws are REPEALED.
If<BR>
the vote goes 91-9 to KEEP the income tax, the income tax is REPEALED.
<BR>
<BR>
Giving folks the chance to finally CHANGE something, I think that
would<BR>
draw a pretty good voter turnout. Don't you?<BR>

&quot;If ye love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility
of servitude<BR>
greater than the animating contest for freedom, go home from us
in peace.<BR>
We seek not your counsel, nor your arms. Crouch down and lick
the hand that<BR>
feeds you. May your chains set lightly upon you; and may posterity
forget<BR>
that ye were our countrymen.&quot; -- Samuel Adams<BR>
