HB-402

by Doug Bohn, Victor

In response to Mark Sabin, Representative Bedey, Representative Rusk, Representative Binkley.

Regarding your “spin” on HB-402, the law is the law, and I quote:

U.S. Constitution, Amendment XIV, Section 1; “All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and the State in which they reside”…

U.S. Constitution, Amendment XV, Section 1; “The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State”…

U.S. Constitution, Amendment XIX; The right of citizens of the United States shall not be denied or abridged”…

U.S. Constitution, Amendment XXIV, Section 1; The right of citizens 

of the United States to vote in any primary”…

U.S. Constitution, Amendment XXVI, Section 1; The right of citizens of the United States who are 18 years of age”…

Montana State Constitution, Article IV, Section 2; Any citizen of the United States 18 years of age or older who meets the registration and residence requirements provided by law”…

Montana Code Annotated, 13-2-206. Citizenship requirements. (1) A person may not be permitted to register until the person attains United States citizenship. (2) Illegal aliens are prohibited from voting in the state of Montana

National Voters Rights Act (NVRA) 1965; Sec 11(c). “Whoever knowingly or willfully gives false information as to his name, address, or period of residence in the voting district for the purpose of establishing his eligibility to register or vote,…shall be fined not more than $10,000 or imprisoned not more than five years, or both.”

HAVA, Sec 905, (b) “Any individual who knowingly commits fraud or knowingly makes a false statement with respect to the naturalization, citizenry, or alien registry of such individual in violation of section 1015 of title 18, United States Code, shall be fined or imprisoned, or both”…

As for the “courts” referenced in Mr.Sabin’s letter, this obviously is a product of higher education, who, instead of teaching the LAW, teaches “case law”. To that I quote President Abraham Lincoln who stated; “We the people are the rightful masters of both Congress and the courts, not to overthrow the Constitution but to overthrow the men who pervert the Constitution.”

There are three candidates in this primary who clearly understand the quotes above. No need for “courts” to interpret the meaning of plain english. They will defend your rights against those who wish to abridge them as do the above mentioned. They are Dailey, Love and Manzella.
