Rule of Law and Voter Intimidation
The article What’s Attorney General Holder Hiding? relates to two chapters in Preserving Democracy, 4 – The Rule of Law and 6 – The Breakdown of Voting. In fact, it ties in with other chapters as well, dealing with the media especially.
This is a troubling situation. As Elgin notes at the conclusion of chapter 6:
Voting should be treated as the important cornerstone of democracy that it is. We should do everything we can to protect and preserve it with the goal that not only should every vote be counted, but also that every vote that is cast is legally cast by an eligible voter; a voter who is given an actual choice in the process. — p. 173
Preserving Democracy is available from Energion Direct, and other online retailers. If you are active in the political process this season as more than just a voter, check our activist pricing.

Constitution and Laws
Ken Thomas at No Left Turns discusses the Elena Kagan’s dismissal of the Declaration of Independence as the foundation for constitutional liberties.
From Preserving Democracy, p. 230:
Religion in America serves three very important functions in regards to democracy. The first is that it provided the intellectual foundation for the country, as stated by the Declaration of Independence. Remove the Declaration’s claim that our rights come from our creator and you are left with the question of where do they come from?

Fiscal Cancer
Allan R. Bevere discusses the recent report of the bipartisan commission on the deficit. The new is not good, but it is also not surprising.
In Preserving Democracy, chapter 2, “Taxes and the Welfare State” discusses spending, taxation and the deficit, and these topics are taken up in chapter 10, “The Never Ending Struggle,” where recent massive increases in the deficit are discussed.

Betty Newman Reviews Preserving Democracy
This is not a “Republican” book nor a “Democrat” book. It is an “American” book! You NEED to read it.

Disclosure for Some
Some nice notes on the just passed “Disclose” act from Hot Air. It’s free speech apparently only if it favors the right people.
