"If everybody voted, then it would completely change the political map in this country," Obama said, calling it "potentially transformative." Not only that, Obama said, but universal voting would "counteract money more than anything."This is just the latest of schemes to "transform" the nation, as he's stated many times to be his purpose. All he needs do is propel new citizens (created under his executive action sponsoring illegal immigrants) to the voting booth where they could join the thousands of dead people casting ballots. This poses another question, however. How does the concept of compulsory voting affect the free speech of the First Amendment, which includes the right to not register an opinion? Obamacare has already gutted the free will of Americans to exercise their right to choose whether or not to acquire health insurance. Since forced passage by the supermajority democrat Congress of 2009/2010 there has been a growing backlash against the legislation, now fully opposed by more than 60% of the electorate. That legislative history is what spurs the president's new plan to draft voters: to continue changing the face of the nation by packing Congress with more progressives to make it happen. As each new prong of the president's agenda is honed sharper, the attack on the Constitution becomes more grave and egregious. It eviscerates the right to participate in the process or choose not to do so. Obama's plan does one other thing... it steps on and attempts to supersede our basic rights of free will derived from the very hand of God.
