I am tired of relying on the courts. Federal troops ought to be in that New Mexico county TONIGHT! [View all]

It's time for the federal government to begin getting fucking Gawd Damned involved in enforcing federal rights.

7,000+ American voters are currently being denied their rights to vote in News Mexico.

Please stop fucking around, and send a message to these fucksticks, or they will try this shit in more places than one New Mexico district.

Declare an emergency in this district, send in the Marines, lock these pricks up for violations of federal laws and appoint a military board to certify the voters.

It's time to go Abe Lincoln on these Confederate Dipshits.

We either have federal laws, or we don't.
