Dear Elephant Men:

Hey guys? You know we're watching you, right? And no matter how many times you tell us you're legislating to prevent fraud, we know exactly what you're doing.

You know that, right?



Nobody could be that dumb or lame, really. Why treat us as though we were? Makes it hurt all the more.



"Voter fraud" has the same believability and cover story value as euphemisms like, "Enhanced Interrogations" or "Clean Coal." Everybody knows what you're doing, and can see through your lies, even while you deny doing anything and continue to behave in the same manner.



So enough of this fig-leaf excuse of Voter Fraud, please? It's really beneath you to continue to deny what you're doing.

Once and for all, there is no voter fraud! Certainly nothing that could be pointed to as an explanation for the sudden rash of Voter Fraud laws pushed through by Republican-led legislatures in nine states. And just so nobody is missing the fact, let me ask this next question directly: You guys are creating laws, directing the will of nine individual state legislatures, to enforce a political solution to a non-existent problem, is that right?



Don't you think there should be a law about that? Using state government to bring about political ends? In nine different states? Smells like some sort of a conspiracy to me... hmm...?



Lest anybody be confused, this is nothing but a bald attempt by Republican legislators to suppress voting by blacks, students and poor people. You guys couldn't win the Presidency last time 'round, so rather than reform your party by turning to positions and policies that might appeal to larger segments of the voting public, you chose instead to stay with your Big Money Masters, and to restrict people's right to vote.

And that's what you spend your time doing? On the public payroll? Stealing elections? Aren't you even a little ashamed?



Okay, fine! That's your choice and we respect that.



But hey guys, call it what you will, it's still JIM CROW all over again... and just as shameful.



Hey, don't get me wrong. Nobody's accusing you guys of racism. The fact you're legislating to disenfranchise blacks has nothing to do with racism and everything to do with the fact you've completely abandoned whatever moral authority your party once had.

So, in reality, you no longer have any ethical basis to stand as a national party.



Sorry guys, but the truth hurts. And if you want to win the presidency sometime soon, just so you know, it won't be by kissing the backsides of the wealthiest sliver of the nation's population, or by writing off Immigration Reform and Income Equality. Nor will you win by continually trumpeting your aversion to 21st Century Sexual and Cultural Standards.

One thing more, it's time for you guys to stop running for office in our highest institutions of government, then work to dismantle that government and cripple its ability to make a difference in the lives of its citizens.



Yeah, I know, that will get you millions of dollars from the Koch Brothers.

But it won't win you many votes in whatever voting booths you allow to remain open.

Just remember, we see what you are doing.

And we will not forget.
