TheVoiceOfJoyce The 14 th Amendment to the Constitution has many protections, including the right to pay our bills. If Congress fails to uphold the Government’s Constitutional right to pay our Bills, the President must act. The 14 th Amendment, section 4, is very clear. It may also be a cure all for lifting egregious voter restrictions under Section 2 and should be used to remove all legislators, police, military, lawyers and a former President, who sought to overturn the 2020 election and participated in the 1/6/21 Insurrection.

TheVoiceOfJoyce and so it begins, the erosion of Democracy. New Ohio restrictive Voter ID requirements, excludes 3 million out 8 million, registered voters. Is this Democracy? Many in Ohio lose their right to vote , if they have debts? That’s the equivalent of a poll tax. Ballot boxes are being limited, the days available to vote are limited, getting the correct documents are limited and paper ballots are limited. This isn’t representation of the people by the people or one person one vote. Why are restrictive state voting rights legal? Why isn’t Congress passing a Federal Voting Rights Law, negating State Laws that maintain the power of the few and silence the many?

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce Hunger and food insecurity in America is on the rise with homelessness and yet, only the Democratic candidates in Ohio are addressing this issue. Since the Pandemic, food insecurity has risen. I personally have friends who work to service the food insecure at food pantries. When asked, many using the Pantries say, they won’t vote? I say, why not vote for a Democrat who you know stands with you on Societal issues. This year, and every year, with Trumps GOP in power, minority representation in Congress , is being eliminated. Will those needing assistance, continue to vote against yourself interests, or will you vote Democrat and preserve and increase your rights to food, healthcare, WI-FI, and schools, for you and your children?

TheVoiceOfJoyce Don’t listen to the noise or the hype coming out of Florida or other GOP controlled States that are making voting difficult. The “20” people arrested, could have been prescreened according to Florida Registration procedures, instead 20? Individuals may or may not have violated voting rights for individuals with Felonies. This was entrapment. If Florida had followed their own procedures, there would be no illegal voting. Don’t be scared to vote. Register, make sure you have the necessary ID and vote. It is our Right. Americans fought hard for our Vote. Women didn’t get the vote till, 8/18/1920. Remember there is a very low to non existent instance of voter Fraud. This year, vote and vote with friends and get rid of repressive State Governments. Get rid of legislators who would not lower the cost of insulin. Get rid of Legislators who would not vote for the Inflation Reduction Act, giving Medicare the right to negotiate drug pricing and tax credits for the purchase of EV’s and heat pumps for air conditioning. Get rid of Legislators who would not expand Medicaid, helping families in need. Vote to increase your rights ! We are entitled to the pursuit of life, liberty and happiness!

TheVoiceOfJoyce Fighting for saving our Democracy, Kris Mayes is running for Arizona Attorney General. She was forced out of today’s GOP and deserves to win along with a new Secretary of State and Supreme Court justice’s. In swing States, like Arizona, Pa, Michigan, Wisconsin, these seats are pivotal to maintaining our Democracy. Elect people who will protect women’s right to reproductive health, voting rights and absentee ballots. Our Country’s Democracy depends on these States wins. Say no, to the GOP alt right, they’re a minority and no longer represent the moderates of the Republican Party or the vast majority of Arizona.
